Thoughts

I’ve had this book on my to read list for such a long time, and finally got round to it - now I’m annoyed I didn’t read it sooner. I loved it, whipped through it quickly, the plot is intriguing, the twists and turns are fun to follow and unexpected. I wasn’t so convinced by the supernatural parts of it, but that’s kind of the point isn’t it? And you can’t really argue with a ‘we have to try everything’ attitude when it comes to saving a life. Now I’m very interested in watching the TV show, but need to decide whether to read more in the series first!
