Read this as a youngling and it was the first time I'd consumed a book that dealt with the themes of love, relationships, sex and what happens when you start developing into the person you will become. The ups and downs of a real relationship and how people explore who they are as individuals and try to find how they fit into the world.

May have to give it a re-read at some point but we shall see.

Huge thanks to Grady Hendrix, Quirk Books and NetGalley for this copy in exchange for an honest review.

I started reading this in February and then, for some reason, put it down. This morning I slapped some sense into myself and decided to restart it, once I did, I couldn't put it down!

It's a slow build, we learn the background of the friendship between Abby and Gretchen and you get pulled into their story, how the foundation is started and how each experience they have builds to make their friendship stronger. And then it starts to go to shit.

It gets progressively worse and builds to the wonderful finale. I loved this book and will be getting my hands on the physical edition as soon as possible.

Another great book from Grady Hendrix and I urge you all to read it and savour it.

Not read the entire book, I was fortunate to receive a sampler of this and I have to say that I flippin' loved it!!

The prologue is gripping and surprisingly violent, you're not really sure what to think about DS William Fawkes and you're left with a ‘OMG' feeling.

It gets so much better as you get into the chapters, there is more violence and you get to meet the main players in the case get pulled so very quickly into the story.

My favourite part so far though has to be the humour, it's mixed so well in with the violence and the stress and uncertainty of the team that it brings a lightness to help balance it all out.

I am so looking forward to reading the rest of this, I really need to see what happens and will be waiting with patience and some stress until i manage to get the full book into my hands!!

Huge thanks to Daniel Cole, Orion Publishing Group and NetGalley for this copy which I chose to read and all opinions are my own
