My Review

3.5 stars This is a really good book. I enjoyed the story-line. I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrators voices were great. They created a nice sense of atmosphere. However, I felt as if I was missing something while listening to this book. I struggled to connect fully with the story. I didn't understand why as I loved the story line. Then it was pointed out to me that the book was part of a series and I had not read the other books. Normally I read a lot of books from series and they are brilliant like standalone books. This book you need to read the whole series so you understand the book fully. I'm very sure that if you have read the series then this book would be a 4 or 5 star read. As the background from the previous would help tremendously with the characters background and how the story has evolved. I loved the fact that there was a diverse range of characters and how some struggled to warm to others. The atmosphere and tense of this book really stood out for me. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series now. Many thanks to the author and publishers for creating this great tension fill story for us all to enjoy and become immersed in.
