I finished this book this evening and I thought it was absolutely brilliant
It is a really well written story, you can almost feel that you are going through the time with them, the author has done a truly magnificent job in bringing her characters to life.
I liked the way that the story was told with the different times and views mixing. I loved the main characters got to have their own voice too. I can’t even imagine what they would have been going through, the pain, discomfort and starvation, beatings and loss of loved ones and of those around them.
I started reading the book last night and needed to keep reading, I finished it this evening after work and the first thing I did was tell my mum, and my husband all about it.
The story was at times harrowing as you can expect knowing the subject and it was also heart-breaking but I was compelled to keep reading, I really wanted them all to make it to the point of liberation and I really wanted them to be able to try to rebuild their lives
One of the very best historic fiction books covering this subject that I have read. This couldn’t be anything other than 5 stars – it is a book that will definitely stay with me for a while – very highly recommended for any lovers of historical fiction or stories set during WWII...more

I love this series and this is the sixth book that has been released, I had already read and really enjoyed the previous five. I thought that this was an excellent story!
The plot was perfect and I loved the twists, the characters were brilliant, really well developed and their interaction was great – you thought you knew where the story was going and then it all changed. The writing style was great and I loved the punchy chapters too which kept me engaged.
I found it to be a really addictive read and I read it within a day of starting the book as I needed and wanted to know how the book would all end – it had a great ending!
It is 5 stars from me for this one – very highly recommended!...more

I liked the idea behind this book, I liked how it teaches the primary colours and what new colours you can make by mixing them. My daughter was really intrigued and I am sure she will have a go at mixing properly when we next get her paints out – will make a nice change from her generally just making “brown” – it is 4 stars from me for this one – a cute little read...more
As soon as I saw the description for this book I knew that it was one that I would love, and I wasn’t wrong. I know quite a bit about the history from this period and I have to say that the author did a superb job at bringing the period and what it would have been like to life. I was completely hooked by the plot!
The characterisation is perfect, the characters are genuine and believable, and so well developed. I really did feel as though I knew them really well and the author had brilliant descriptions which really added to the plot.
This one ticked all the boxes for me, it really was a super read and it took me through the emotions as I was reading and I really felt for the characters at times, I was really emotionally invested in this story and it takes a very good book for that to happen to me!
It was well developed, has fascinating characters and a brilliant plot – I loved it from cover to cover and cannot recommend it highly enough – no hesitation at all, this one gets 5 stars from me!!...more

I loved the idea and concept behind this book as a mum.
My daughter who has recently turned three really enjoyed it too, she loved the images and giggled at the story. She does ask for a lot of hugs at the moment too but when we ask her for a hug she does quite often say no - it has to be on her terms - so this was great at showing the different angles too.
It is 4 stars from me for this one - highly recommended!...more
I was really intrigued by the blurb by this book and having read it, it was a great story!
I loved the plot line or this one and being a massive fan of the natural world and a crime fiction/mystery fan this one was always going to be right up my street!
I really enjoyed the author's writing style and they way that the story was told, the book has two main time themes, the mid 1980s and the present day. I loved that touch and for me it was a great and easy read and one that I could dip in and out of over the course of a couple of evenings.
The characters were great and I really enjoyed their interaction, they were well developed and really added to the story for me, I thought that Claire was great and loved following her through the book.
It is 4 stars from me for this one, it was a really good story and thoroughly enjoyable! Highly recommended!!...more

I thought that the characters were well developed and they worked really well together and I loved how she brought them to life for me as I turned the pages. They were great and I loved that they were both strong characters too.

I was really intrigued by the blurb for this book and the cover is very atmospheric and suits the story really well. I thought that the plot was well developed and there was plenty happening.
The characters were well developed and they worked well together too. I really warmed to Amelia’s character and I liked the style that the book was written in. The pace was good and I liked the suspense and intrigue that the author built up throughout the book.
It is 4 stars from me for this one, it was a great paranormal crime thriller with a well-developed plot - will definitely be looking out for more books from the author in the future and hopefully a follow up book to this one!...more
I really enjoyed this story and thought it was a brilliant read!
I loved the way that the story was told, it is a story that flicks between the past and the present and this is one of my favourite ways to tell them at the moment, and it worked particularly well with this one.
The suspense builds up in the book as the past and present started to come together and I thought that the book was planned out very well and the writing style was exceptional – it had me captivated throughout – she is a superb storyteller!
The characters were well developed and worked so well with the plot too, they added so much too it. I thought that this was an excellent read and it is one that I highly recommend!!...more
I thought that that book was excellent – it had me well and truly hooked!
It had a fantastic plot line and the pace was superb, it had me gripped and I found myself staying up late to finish the story off, I loved the twists and the plot developed and I needed to find out how it would all end.
I loved that the story was told by going from the past to the present and back too. I do love books that are set out like that as they give you more “oh” moments as things become clear and click in to place and this approach certainly worked well with the plot for this book.
Five stars from me, I thoroughly enjoyed it from cover to cover, very highly recommended!!...more
