Review: Call to Arms

Call to Arms Call to Arms by Rachel Amphlett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kay Hunter is finally back at work after her injuries from her last case. After finding out Williamson is corrupt, and was responsible for her injuries. While in prison the allegations he has made against DI Devon Sharp. Her direct boss is on forced leave until Kay can clear him of the allegations .
So we start with Kay working on a 10 year old cold case. The case is of a soldier who is killed in a motorcycle accident. Doubts were raised, but never investigated properly.
This is a case of what appears to be a simple case. The investigation uncovers much more than anyone is expecting. I love a good detective series, and this is a good series. It makes you feel like you are there discovering the clues with them. I really enjoyed this for many reasons. I felt I was in the middle of the story with a huge cast of characters, what always surprises me when I get to the end and there is only one narrator. The other is it finishes to quickly, so I now am waiting for book six

Review: Looking for Dei

Looking for Dei Looking for Dei by David A. Willson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The heroine of our story is a teenage girl called Nara, and she lives in a backwater and poor village called Dimmitt. Nara and her friend Mykel are awaiting the announcement ceremony where hopefully someone in their village would be gifted and bring hope to the village.
This is start of an adventure which takes them from one end of the land the other. Until Nara is captured for her gifts to be used by an evil and ambitious man.
This is the first in a series, and sets the scene perfectly. There is the world building, believe system and ancient prophecies and the great characters. All in all an enjoyable and captivating read. Where is book two, I’ll be waiting as I love to escape into interesting and magical stories.

Review: Lost Time

Lost Time Lost Time by D.L. Orton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reviewed on behalf of http://bookaddict.live,
This is book two in the series and follows Diego’s journey into the future, but in a different timeline. When he opens his eyes and finds himself up the top of tree. In a snow-covered habitat, that’s all he sees before he falls and breaks multiple bones.
Luckily he is rescued, and wakes up in a Bio dome being looked after by a doctor called Lani. It was then when he realised he is twenty years in the future.
This is a shorter book than the first, but no less interesting. We are twenty years after D day and the human plague that has driven everyone that survived in to domes, and humans can’t be outside without bio suits. In the Dome Diego is taken to, everyone is friendly and the children are so innocent.
Diego takes nearly a year to recover from is injuries, and still can’t stop his love for Isabel which controls his actions.
Diego soon finds out not everyone in this world is warm and friendly. This a shorter listen, but no less enthralling as we learn more about this world.
I can’t praise the narrators enough, it like listening to a large cast of characters, and that is amazing when you realise there is only two.

Review: Unlocking Lies

Unlocking Lies Unlocking Lies by Kennedy Layne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reviewed on Behalf of http://bookaddict.live,
Another visit to Blyth Lake to visit with Kendall family, and this time we meet Jace the next sibling home, who is overwhelmed with the key from his father.
On his first day in town, when he realises that Shea Erwin has arrived in town. Shea has lived with guilt every day since her little sister disappeared.
Shea has come back to town to get answers, and to tempt the killer. Jace can’t believe Shea, who now is psychiatrist in a town miles away is here in Blyth Lake. Jace wastes no time in taking the opportunity to get to know the beautiful woman she has turned into.
This had a slow start, but was setting the scene, and introducing most of the town, as Shea was questioning everyone. After leaving plenty of opportunity for the killer to catch the bait. Things definitely livens up.
You must read the first two books in the series, otherwise you will be lost. Things are in Blyth Lake are getting exciting, but now I have wait read the next book. I want to know who the serial killer is. I have a clue, but I’m not telling.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Review: The Sinister Silhouette

The Sinister Silhouette The Sinister Silhouette by Alex Grayson

THE SINISTER SILHOUETTE,
Wow I don’t know what to say Alex Grayson has done it again, blown me away. I was riveted to this book and I read it in one go and couldn’t put it down.
Luca having those dreams was something that was described so brilliantly, you were there with him.
Jules waking up after being in a coma for 7 years and not remembering your husband or how you got there is so frightening, and portrayed so well.
This is a must read, and I’m not giving anything away. Only to say Luca was hot, I think my imagination conjured a vision was so hot hot. Muscles, piercings in different places.
No I am not putting this enthralling tale down by just talking about muscles. If you like this is a psychological thriller, and you like something different then this a must buy. This is not for the fainthearted even though we have a HEA.
