'The missing wife' by Sam Carrington

Rating: 3.5 stars

This book was quite frustrating to read, though I got through it relatively quickly since it does hook you in.

The main character was the main issue for me, she was so trusting throughout the whole book even with characters who have proven to be untrustworthy, and it was so annoying to read. The plot was actually not bad, there were twists which I didn't expect and the ending definitely saved the book for me.

A very interesting read!

Rating: 5 1983. 6 friends woke in a stupor into a nightmare. One of them was missing. 30 years later, Aurora Jackson's remains are finally found in a secret hideaway, known only by the friends. Who would you trust? Wow! I don't know exactly what I was expecting with this book, but I was very happily surprised by how much I liked it! I managed to read this book very quickly, and could not put it down. I absolutely loved the writing style, and I appreciated the third person style. There weren't any parts where I had felt the book dragged, which I feel happens while reading some books of a similar nature. The pace was also great, it was gradually built up till the end. The actual story telling, I found very interesting. If you love crime-solving type stories, this book is for you. There is a real progression, and insight of how the detectives worked through the investigation, it felt very realistic. And the small twists and turns in the plot kept it all very interesting...

'Codename Villanelle' by Like Jennings

After watching the thrilling series of Killing Eve on the BBC, I was very excited when I received a free copy through netgalley in exchange for a review. The show drew me in with the out-rightness of it all, leaving me with high hopes for the book. And I was not disappointed. The book portrays the same exciting cat-mouse-chase of the show, with added plot lines and more mystery. I absolutely love the character of Villanelle, yes she may be a psychopathological series killer, but the depth to her character and the details that Jennings reveals about her are fascinating. Eve is equally mesmerising as she seems to go through this journey of finding her killer, while also in a way discerning her own character throughout. This is quite an explicit novel, something that I wouldn't normally go for, so at times I did feel a little uncomfortable. But I still really enjoyed it!

'Reclaimed' by Sarah Guillory

PETITION FOR THIS BOOK TO BECOME A MOVIE I really enjoyed reading this book. I did think it was a little slow in the beginning, but it was definitely worth it. It's the kind of story that you think is gonna be very predictable, but the ending had me shocked. I would love to see this in a film, I can imagine some of the scenes playing out, and since this book has quite a strong visual/metaphor running through it, I know it would keep an audience in suspense. Love it! Highly recommend.
