Tiffany Reisz Jeg elsker dig.

This was amazing, It made me laugh and cry. I wanted to devour it and savour it.

All of these books and the short stories are written so beautifully and you can't help but fall in love with the characters.

Some of the one liners in this book had me laughing out loud.

'Can I lose my watch in you?'

So typical of Kinsley, poor young Nora had know idea what it meant at first and it never fails to make me laugh.

Only problem now is having to wait for the next one.

Kristin (149 KP) rated Strange Little Girls in Books

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

The title definitely doesn't lie -- these are some STRANGE little girls. Each story is so different from the last, and they all suck you in and don't let up until the end. There are even a couple I could see being turned into at least a novella on their own, as I would love to read more about that particular girl's story.

Really interesting read, and since it's a collection of short stories, you can read a little bit at a time and not forget where you are.

Hazel (2934 KP) rated Old Haunts: A Simon Serrailler Short Story in Books

Oct 21, 2018

A very short story of a flashback to a point in time when the main character Simon Serrailler reminisces about his first foray into undercover work. It also includes an extract from the newest full length book The Comforts of Home.

Although it's just enough to wet your appetite, it's not enough to really get your teeth into but I would definitely recommend you read the full length stories and use this as an added extra.

Thank you to the publisher, Random House UK, Vintage Publishing via NetGalley in return for an honest and unbiased review.
