Hayden is settle in destiny falls although there are still murders and mysteries she is happy living her life, the only thing she is worried about is her father should of been back 2 weeks ago from his trip to Gladstone. where Is he? What has gone wrong?
I love Elizabeth's gripping style of writing in these series she describes everything with such vigor and detail that you can almost smell, see and feel everything that's happening. She certainly had me hooked on these books and I cannot wait for the next one to come, I'm guessing that the series will come to and end eventually and I will be bitterly disappointed when the time comes I love escaping to destiny falls the bonus of having a book is that you can always revisit the story and that is something I will deffinatly be doing!
4/5 stars please read it!

This is a gripping read which has a great plot that had me guessing for the majority of the time, a fast pace and excellent characters which is what you want from a thriller. There is unpredictability and suspense with an ending that was very satisfying.
I admit, there were moments that pushed the boundaries of reality, Amelie 'disappearing' during an ongoing serial killer case for example, but I am able to push those to one side because, overall, the story had me engaged from the very beginning.
I am hoping there is more to come from DS Amelie Davis; she is an interestingly flawed character and there is definitely more mileage there for further stories especially if her colleagues are brought into it a little more than they were in this one.
Thank you to Orion Publishing Group and NetGalley for the advance copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

I absolutely adored this book. I will be reading the other two in the series. I actually hope there may be more to hear about Zola and Darshan's life, successes, and maybe even failures? (I hope not!)
It's a very gripping story of romance, determination and difficulties, but all done tastefully. The sex scenes aren't too crude and are almost poetic. I enjoyed finding out about some of the characters pasts. The only complaint I have is I was just wanting more. I wanted to know all of the back stories - where they came from, why they behaved that way, etc.
A big congrats Mathis a super job.

Especially when it was on Amazon as #1 in archery.
Unfortunately, I found it rather sluggish in parts, with it never really gripping my attention the same way as a historical novel by Bernard Cornwell or Simon Scarrow or Angus Donald does.
This is set during the early stages of the 100 Years War (which lasted for 116 years), and is really a detective/spy story (rather than concentrating on the lives of the archers) as the herald Simon Merrivale investigates the assassination of an English knight , leading up to and including the Battle of Crecy.
Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed the history, and learning a bit more about the times and the background to the war; I just wish it had gripped me more somewhat.
Maybe the sequels will follow through on that ... ?
