Origin | Review

I loved this book. It was fast paced and easy to get into. I was fascinated to find out what Edmonds announcement would be and to find out what everyone's reaction would be. The ending too was also something else.

As always it was easy to read like all of Dan Brown's books. The dialogue was as good as ever too. The writing and dialogue have always complimented each other and enhanced his books dramatically.

Robert was as great as ever, if not just a little older. I also liked Ambra a lot too, Winston also is an interesting character, to say the least.

 The antagonist was interesting to read about for sure, though I would've liked an explanation to why he and his church blamed Edmond for the horrendous things that had not long destroyed his life. I kind of get why they would say it, but more of that would've been interesting.

Overall a great read with a very surprising ending that I didn't see coming.  I can give this a solid 4 stars and as always would read Dan Brown's other book if I hadn't already read them all. Can recommend for sure.

The Girl On The Train | Review

Rachel takes the same train every day. She feels she knows the people she travels past every morning at the stop sign. Until the day it all goes horribly wrong.

The plot was good and the pacing was steady. There was a tonne of twists that I didn't see coming and I found it interesting throughout.

The dialogue was helpful throughout the book and helped it be as good as it possibly could be and made me realise how desperate the characters actually are.

I loved Rachel, she was the best unreliable narrator I've ever read. I couldn't help but root for her throughout. Yes, she made stupid decisions, but if she didn't the book or her character wouldn't be the same right?

I understood rather than like some of the other characters in this one, such as the therapist and her ex-husband's current wife, whom I did like by the end.

Overall I enjoyed the book, but the hype let it down. Not to say the book was bad, but there was far too much hype and don't let that put your hopes up or you will be disappointed. I gave this 3 stars on
Goodreads.

The Couple Next Door | Review

Anne's neighbours host a dinner party and when their child is uninvited, she is left home alone. That night, things go horribly wrong.

I found this book fast-paced and gripping from the very first page. There were lots of twists and turns that kept me enthralled. Although the detective threw around some unplausible theories around, it was still a great read with an ending I didn't see coming.

This was very easy to read, so much so, it only took me two days to read from cover to cover. The dialogue was good and it helped the book as much as possible.

I found Anne to be the most relatable character in the book. She was the only one with reasonable actions apart from leaving her child unattended. I thought Marco was ok and understand him, although this doesn't excuse his actions in all of this.

I didn't like Anne's Father and their next-door neighbours from the start.

I loved this book and gave it 5 stars on Goodreads.

All That She Can See | Review

This is about Cherry and her hidden talent. She can see things that nobody else can and decides to use her gift to help people.Until chase arrives, threatens to undo the good she has done.

Some of the parts of this book, particularly the cafe parts made me think of Christmas and was overall a very cute story. It was very easy, smooth and quick to read. Allowing me to glide effortlessly through this book like I do all of her books.

I was fascinated throughout, enjoyed it immensely and think it's a great improvement upon her first fiction novel.

This was a very easy read in regards to the writing it flows very well, this and the plot made me fly through this effortlessly. The dialogue was good and helped out the book a lot too.

I loved Cherry, she was relatable and loving and always ready to help people out despite everyone's problems. I loved reading about her, couldn't get enough and wanted to know more.

The only stupid decisions were made was when they did the stupid thing that drew unwanted attention to themselves from the antagonists in the book.

I always liked Chase throughout the book, though he is the opposite of Cherry. He sees the bad in people but put Chase and Cherry together and they can make a fantastic pairing as a couple and as a powerful force for good.

Some of the customers were great too, especially the ones who went to the cafe and had a part in the plot.

Overall this was a fantastic book and I couldn't put it down. Carrie seems to improve upon her ability every time she writes a new book. 4* on Goodreads from me for sure,

The secret Of Spell shadow Manor | Review

This book is about a young man called Alex, who lives a normal life until a french student comes to visit. He sees a strange man following her that nobody else could see. As he follows the man he and the French student are dragged into a strange world they didn't know existed.

The plot overall was alright. It was fast-paced and confusing, though I think that was deliberate on the authors part. Although I ever got bored, I don't think I really got the book either.

It was very easy to read as always. It wasn't too cheesy with its dialogue either.

I enjoyed reading about Natalie (French student) more than Alex. He made stupid decisions to follow and help her, but without that, we wouldn't have a story would we?

There is more than one antagonist, there is The Head, one other teacher, a ghost and you can't trust that cat.

I can only recommend to people who have read her previous books. I plan to read the next book to see if the series improves. I gave this 3 stars on Goodreads and Amazon.
