I could not really pick one protagonist in this novel, this story is told from multiple perspectives, unpicking many lives. We do kind of have these two “camps” here. The first one would be Elisabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron, and the second one would be the police officers working on the case: Donna and Chris. I really loved how the characters were developed throughout the pages. Elisabeth seems so strong and she is leading the investigate gang, but really she is worried and scared because of her frail husband. Joyce has a difficult relationship with her daughter and a very strange love life going on. Donna feels like she failed in life by moving to this God’s forgotten town, and Chris is lonely, getting fat and unhappy. We not only get to know our leading characters but the ones that got killed as well. All the characters are beautiful, amusing and absorbing personalities, and I was so happy to meet them.

Let's be honest, I haven't come across anything by Sarah J. Maas that I wouldn't practically sell my soul to read again. This new book included. The first 10 chapters or so were a bit slow, slow enough that I worried about whether or not I'd enjoy this one - which was a devastating thought. But it quickly picked up speed and pretty much skyrocketed from there. Bryce is such a relatable character and this world, despite its magic and mythical creatures, is comfortable because it's so similar to reality. Her love and loyalty run so deep, she's definitely a friend I would want in my corner. She's a total bad ass, something I always look forward to when reading anything by Sarah. Now I've finished this book, the second will not be released until next year, so I'm left stewing with so many questions and theories! I'm so excited for the next book!

Another book that's been on my kindle since 2013.
Um...i don't know how to put my feelings into words about this one. The beginning bit was hard to read. I think this is the first book where domestic abuse has been described and happened in detail for me and I didn't enjoy reading it. Mia had such a shitty life at the start.
I liked Jordan a lot. He's the kind of guy I like my girls to get with in romances. Looks like a bad arse but is really a great guy once you get to know him.
Another thing I liked was that it wasn't set in a school/college environment like most other new adult books but at the same time, I kinda missed that element of football games, meeting after classes, sorority/fraternity parties... Yeah, I'm hard to please where NA books are concerned simply because I've read so many.
P.S. I love Dozer!

Black lion’s Bride ( Warrior trilogy book 2)
By Lara Adrian
As deadly as she is beautiful, Zahirah, daughter of the King of the Assassins, steals into the camp of the English army. She intends to murder King Richard, but her plan only delivers her into the hands of the enemy and puts her at the mercy of the dashing Black Lion, Sebastian of Montborne. Seeing only a mysterious beauty in need of his protection, Sebastian is unaware that Zahirah is the enemy he has sworn to destroy. Caught in a web of passion and deception, they now risk their lives to share a forbidden love.
I’m a sucker for historical romances and loved the first book in this series. I also enjoyed this one although I did find it a bit harder to fall into Sebastian is amazing it took me a little longer to like Zahirah! Overall it was a good read and would recommend
