Behind the Wheel by A.K. Evans
5.0
*5 Stars*
This was my first book by this author but it definitely won't be my last. I really enjoyed this, particularly how our heroine is more of a tomboy and is into cars and racing and things. I liked all the characters in this book (except of course the ones you're not meant to like) and I really like the family feel of the team at LT and would love to read the other books in this series about the other guys. Definitely recommend.

This one took me a little while to get into - I liked the idea of the storyline but it felt a little slow to me - not sure if that's my current reading phase right now or just the book for me in general. I liked the characters well enough, it just took me a while to get into. By the end though, I was quite hooked and really wanted things to work out for Mallory and Christian. I liked their ease and banter with each other and their communication was quite good too.

It took me a little while to get into this one, but I as interested enough to keep going. The story had me very curious as to what had actually happened that night up at that folly - there were plenty of twists and turns and I thought I had it figured out and then was totally thrown for who was actually the culprit and what the truth was. Was an interesting read by the end that definitely had me wanting to know what had happened.

I absolutely love Robert Bryndza books. The Kate Marshall series has been great so far, and this latest instalment was no different. I was intrigued in the idea of this new case from the start, and definitely wary about some parts of it. I had some figured out, and some only partially figured out, so that when the truth finally came to light at the end, there were still some surprises for me.
I really like both our main characters, Kate and Tristan, and Kate's son Jake was a good addition as always too in his parts that came up. I've always enjoyed cold case drama shows on TV and also found true ones to be interesting, so this being a cold case fiction novel was pretty much guaranteed to hook me.
I cannot wait for more in this series (or the Erica Foster one) and highly recommend.

Dying to Meet You: A Domestic Thriller by Sarina Bowen

ARC kindly received for an honest review.
I've been keen to read this as I loved Sarina's first thriller novel last year. This one took me a little bit to get into (possibly just me not feeling the reading so much lately), but once I did, I was so curious to find out what on earth was going on. There are plenty of characters at play here, and you definitely question many many things. A few different POV's as well which helps add layers to the story without over complicating it. I actually figured out who our mystery killer was, but the reasoning and more depth to who they were had me guessing until the end. I hope Sarina keeps writing thrillers as she's got a great writing style with these and I'll keep coming back for more.

I read this one over a period of time as I did switch books for a while. I can't say I loved it, but I can't say I hated it either. I don't think I really connected with any of the characters, but the writing was good and the world building was too. Some interesting things touched on in this one.

I found this one alright - I didn't absolutely love the main characters but they were very likeable. I think I've started the year a little all over the shop with my reading which would be contributing to this as well. I liked how this is linked to the Toronto Terror world and I found this was fairly easy going story - there was honesty and ease with the main characters and their friends were great too. Of course some characters I really didn't like but what's a book without that? I'd be interested in reading more from this world and getting to know some of the other characters, for example Brody. Would recommend.

I was excited to finally read Nesta and Cassians story, however I will say that it dragged on a fair bit. It's a huge book and whilst there is a fair bit going on, at times it also felt like it was moving very slowly. I enjoyed the progress that Nesta made and the bonds and friendships she formed. I definitely did not see the big challenge at the end coming. I adored Cassian as per usual. A great story. I would also love to know what happens with Mor, Az and Elain in the future.

I enjoyed this but at the same time I was constantly finding myself confused because it's been so long since I read the More Than Series and I was struggling to remember who was who and what their back stories were. Thats more on me than the writing - as usual Jay's writing was great, and there were plenty of both serious and fun moments and the world building is great.

This was a more light hearted chapter of this series, with some serious moments thrown in, but without all the war talk and such. There was some, but it wasn't the main focus of this book. More so the characters, a bit more growth with them since the last books events and the family bond between them all. I'm so curious to see if Elain ends up with Lucien, if Mor finds happiness, what the connection is between Az and Elain and if he finds happiness, and who could forget Nesta and Cassian? Definitely looking forward to reading the next book and seeing how it all ends.
