Blackthorn by Emily Eve
4.5
mysterious medium-paced

This book was voted for our book of the month in our indie author book club and I am so excited that it was. 

This was such an amazing read. The characters were intriguing, the plot was addictive and the plot twists were a lot of fun. 

One of my favourite exchanges was: 

‘He thought for a moment. “Do you have any friends? Anyone you can rely on?”

 “No.”

 “Why not?” 

“Assassins don’t make the best of friends.” 

“I disagree. Who better to have on your side than someone who would kill for you?” 

Bonnie had no reply’

There were a lot of fun moments and moments that made my heart go “awww”. Who knew someone leaving someone half the cooked fish would give me feelings?

I loved the role the animals had in this, and getting to figure out more about our main character and the mystery surrounding here was fun to figure out. 

I also liked how it ended. It wasn’t too much of a cliffhanger. It was a satisfying ending but yet you’d definitely want to read a sequel if it came out! 

A really fun read!
