GAME ON is the third and final book in the Vancouver Orcas series, but you don't need to have read the first two to get this one.

Jamie has joined the Orcas and hopes to start afresh. He is understandably wary about his new team, thinking it almost too good to be true. He lives with Dorian until he can find his own place. Dorian doesn't need to work, but does. He also has a secret project going on that he believes in, even if no one else does. Of course, others might believe in it too, if he'd only let them in. But Dorian has baggage of his own...

I loved this story! Jamie is just a big ole teddy bear, whilst Dorian is more of a hedgehog - prickly on the outside, squidgy on the inside. They are both attracted to each other, but neither of them wants to act on it. It is a slow-burn that builds up the tension. They are absolutely perfect for each other, and they both need the love and reassurance the other one gives.

I haven't read Books 1 and 2, but I've just gone and one-clicked both of them. You may not need to read them, but after seeing the characters in this book, I want to!

Absolutely brilliant and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I really wanted to like A Flicker in the Dark more than I did. It started off with an interesting premise: Chloe Davis is the daughter of a serial killer who killed young girls in her small town (6 in total). His killing spree ended when he was caught and imprisoned after admitting to his crimes. However, twenty years later the killings have started again. Is it a copycat, or was the wrong man incarcerated 20 years ago?

There’s a lot of promise in this, but I found it quite uneven. It’s very slow for a lot of the book, with a lot of time being spent on Chloe’s reliance on prescription medication (she’s an addict, and writing her own prescriptions for her boyfriend and collecting them ‘for him’). I just thought this was a rather lazy way to build tension, blaming the strange goings-on on her altered mental state. I mean, clearly there were lots of strange things going on anyway!

I do feel that I perhaps just chose the wrong book - I can see this being very popular with those who enjoy a good psychological thriller with a lot of build up to an explosive denouement. Because that’s pretty much what happens. And I just didn’t feel any connection or sympathy with the main character. Oh, and I guessed what had happened about halfway though, convinced myself that I was wrong, I couldn’t possibly be right, and then was thoroughly disappointed when I was right 🤷🏼‍♀️

So, basically, this book wasn’t for me, but I’ve seen a lot of positive reviews!

A Righteous Kill
By Kerrigan Byrne
⭐️⭐️⭐️

A prolific serial killer is crucifying and ‘baptizing’ the working girls of Portland, and FBI Special Agent Luca Ramirez is locked in a desperate race to prevent the next casualty. The game changes when the latest victim is pulled out of the Willamette River alive, and Luca knows this witness may be his key to breaking the case. When the fanatical killer threatens her life a second time, Luca is assigned to protect the most unique and captivating woman he’s ever met by going undercover as her lover. He finds himself locked in a relentless game of cat and mouse with an elusive and violent psychopath, while battling his temptation for the alluring woman he’s charged to protect with his life. As the fatalities continue to mount, so does the intensity of his desire for a woman who should be forbidden, but is determined to dial up the heat.

It wasn’t bad but it didn’t knock me off my feet. It was ok. I thought it was weak in places and for some reason the sexual tension just for a bit annoying. There were some weak point and if you’re going to research that much then at least do it all over the book and note that Manchester United would never play Ireland that kinda annoyed me more than it should have. There were some good points too the killer was interesting as well as most of the characters so yes it got a 2.5/3 ⭐️ also I noticed it was supposed to have a sequel yet nothing is written yet!
