Not what I was expecting at all! It jumped back and forth in time which it did need to so you could get the back story, but not a fan of books that do that. Glad everything was explained by the end of the story - although does Henry end up killing Phin?

This is the first David Baldacci book that I have struggled to get through. I think the second half of the book was better than the first. Kind of glad it's just a standalone book.

I read this as it was on a library stand and recommended by two different librarians. It was a cute story and the characters were likeable although Lucille was a little on the nose sometimes!

This was a nice easy read. It did jump back and forward in time, but it did need to do you could learn about Maeve's birth mother. Was great to see the second secret use of the knitting shop. The characters were all great.

I missed the banter between Alex and Sampson with Alex working for the FBI and Sampson not making much of an appearance. Not sure how I feel about him working for the FBI, but I guess time will tell. It was nice that ‘Jam' continued her friendship with Alex via long distance.

Another great read, my heart was in my mouth for a minute or two when Nana Mama was sick and Sampson got shot, fortunately it all ended well, including Sampson finding love!

I think I preferred the first book more. This book took me awhile to get into for some reason.

Really enjoyed reading more of Eden's story in this book, but also carrying on the story of Day or Daniel as he's known as in Antarctica. It was a great end to the series, and all loose ends were tied up which was great! Kind of sad the series is finished now!

Another awesome book in the series! I can't wait for the next instalment, but guessing that won't be until next year sometime. Great to see Ryder learning more about Brodie and his friendship with Maggie is coming along nicely! Of course it was good to read about the amazing scent dogs they have!

It wasn't what I thought it was going to be! I had heard good things about it, but not a book I would read again or buy for my book collection.

It was great to read about some of the characters from the first book while learning more about Jody. The festival didn't happen until the end and I did wonder if we were going to see how it went. It was predictable and Jody made me want to scream a few times, lol. I'm glad it had a happy ending!

A quick and easy read from an author that lives in my country, New Zealand. The characters were all really likeable although I did want to bang the mother over the head a couple of times. It was predictable but still made me laugh and smile! I've got the next book in the series ready to go, which is about the sister of Tony, one of the main characters of this story.

Not a fan of vampires! I didn't enjoy that side of the story but it was good to see the Mastermind from the last story get caught in the end!

Wow! I did not see the revelation of who the mastermind was coming! I had to rush through the house to get the next book in the series as I had to know what was going to happen next and how they would uncover the identity of the mastermind! On top of that Alex had to deal with a sick daughter and his relationship breaking down completely!

It's amazing how good scent detection dogs are! Working in tornado conditions this time - it seemed so real. Living in a country that doesn't really have tornados it was interesting to read about how people can survive through the toughest conditions. The relationship between Ryder and Maggie just gets better with each new book.

This was a great introduction to a new main character. He turned up in the last Amos Decker story I read so I decided to find out more about him by reading his story. Looking forward to reading more. Liked his cat's name!

Wow - these Alex Cross stories are so addictive! I have to keep reading to find out what's going to happen next. Looking forward to the next story!

Was a great start to a new series. I liked the fact that the characters you know from the Andy Carpenter stories are in there as well. Looking forward to more.

Wow - this had me hooked from the start. I had to keep reading whenever I had the chance to find out what was going to happen next!

What an amazing women she is! I thoroughly enjoyed this book even though I don't read a lot of non fiction books. The photos in the middle were awesome too! I have seen the carpool karaoke she did with James Cordon that she talks about near the end. To learn she likes HGTV made my day, since I got addicted to that channel during lockdown.

I liked how Peter, Susan, Edmond and Lucy were in this story again. Having the hunger Caspian had for information about old Narnia it was great to see that he took his rightful place.

I found this story a little hard to get into. Not sure if it's because you don't read much about Peter, Susan, Edmond and Lucy who you got to know so well in the last book!

I'm so glad I read the Magician's Nephew before this story as I think it works so much better knowing the background of the witch and the wardrobe before reading it. I kept thinking about the movie when I was reading it and picturing those characters in my head as I was reading the book.

I have never actually read all the books in the series so am doing it now. It will also help my reading challenge as will get through the books quite fast as I'm a bit behind at the moment! It was so great to learn where the lamp post and wardrobe came from! So glad I read this book first and not The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe.

I enjoyed how there were two stories running side by side. Jack and Jill and then the school child killer as well. I thought it had a decent ending with both stories. I was just waiting for Gary Sonegi to turn up somewhere so that phone call wasn't surprising.
