REVIEW: Best Friends by Carys Jones


Best Friends by Carys Jones
Genre: Psychological Thriller
Read: 24th March 2018
Purchase: Amazon

★★ 2 stars

This was an average book. It wasn't so much a thriller as a tale of four friends who are broke that find a case full of £20,000 and then proceed to spend it when the inevitable happens. It wasn't exciting; it wasn't thrilling. It was just going through the motions till the end. I did enjoy Franklin's outbursts and quips. He was the most entertaining of them all. Grace was so positively unlikeable and the promise of something more with the prelude of her brother's death when she was a child promised something that quite frankly didn't deliver. It had nothing whatsoever to do with the story. 

So far this year I've encountered many a disappointing book I've either struggled through or not bothered to finish. I'll just add this one to the list and move on to something far more promising...NEXT!!!

REVIEW: Last Witness by Carys Jones


Last Witness (Wrong Number #2) by Carys Jones
Genre: Psychological Thriller
Read: 30th August 2017
Purchase: Amazon

★★★ 3 stars

This book is the sequel to the previous one called "Wrong Number" which needs to be read first in order for this one to make any sense. 

A good read although predictable as we knew where it was all heading anyway. Not edge of your seat like some I have read but a nice end to the story which began in "Wrong Number".

REVIEW: Wrong Number by Carys Jones


Wrong Number (Wrong Number #1) by Carys Jones
Genre: Psychological Thriller
Read: 26th August 2017
Purchase: Amazon


★★★ 3 stars

Not bad. I did enjoy it but I didn't like Will. While Amanda saw him as protective I thought he seemed too possessive. His whole disappearance had an air of secretiveness. But in any case Amanda was blind to his faults, as he was her knight in shining armour. But when you put someone on a pedestal the reality of their fallibility doesn't seem real. I liked Shane. He was the grounded persona in this tale.
There is a sequel to this book which I wondering whether to jump right in and read now or devour something else in between...
