Powerful thriller

Mockingbird's Cry is full of suspense, intrigue and romance, which makes a good all around read. There's plenty of action to keep you entertained.

Jo, an ex-member of Hera Force (all-female black ops group) is pulled back into the military life (that was ruined by a failed mission) working with Lincoln.... gorgeous, ex co-operative and lover from many moons ago!
    Both are strong and capable, you'd need to be with all the twists, turns and lies that keep getting in their way personally and professionally.
    The way that the two characters interact is well written and I really feel for them. I love how resilient Jo is.

A great read


I thoroughly enjoyed this well written book. It's fun and flirty with some strong primary and secondary characters that support and complement each other. There's lots of different things happening to keep you entertained, two love interests (who would you pick? I know which has my vote!) a little intrigue and a fantastic characters representing a black community of super awesome people. It's refreshing to pick up a book and not have a pretty blonde having a dilemma but an independent black woman with ambition, drive and an advocate for young people of colour to truly be themselves. And to add to this, Zora is a book store owner! She's living every bibliophile's dream.

This is a compelling and disturbing read and whilst it may be a tad unbelievable and OTT in places, it is enjoyable and rather riveting and has a premise like no other I have read before.

The characters are well developed and whilst you may not like some of them very much, this works well with the story. It is written in the past and present which helps to build the tension and intrigue until the killer twist is revealed.

Recommended to those who enjoy something a little different with plenty of suspense and thanks go to Orion Publishing Group and NetGalley for enabling me to read The Guest House and to share my thoughts.
