Thoughts

I whipped through this in super quick time, it wasn’t a particularly complex book or story but I just had to know what was going to happen. The characters were good, quite believable and in difficult situations, but some of the chapters were a bit drawn out where we’re really just waiting to know what has happened and where it’s going. It kept me turning the pages though so definitely worth a read.

Rating: 4 / 5
