A gripping, gritty and highly entertaining story that kept me hooked and reading till late in the night.
The plot is tightly knitted, quite fast paced, and it flows.
I loved the character development and I was happy to get to know Emma and the characters better.
The mystery is solid, full of twists and turns, and very interesting.
I can't wait to read the next story, this one is highly recommended.

The right book at the right time. It's full of interesting hints and ideas and I liked how it didn't used too many buzzwords or recycled ideas.
Highly recommended.

I fell in love with "The Library of the Hell" since the first pages and I loved this one.
This story,as the first one, is highly entertaining and gripping but it's also a love letter to storytelling and books.
The world building is excellent, we get to know more about the Library and the characters.
I was happy to catch up with the characters, they are well written and complex. My favorite is Claire, she's a strong woman even if hurt by what happened.
The plot is told by different POVs and each chapter adds something to the character creating a fascinating storyline.
The author is an excellent storyteller and I can't wait to read another books in this series.
This one is highly recommended.

I like Susan Mallery’s books and I liked this one. It’s a heartwarming, emotionally charged and compelling story that made smile and moved me.
It’s a story about losing nearly everything and building again, growing up and finding happiness. It’s also a story about discovering what really matters and who the persons around you really are.
Ms Mallery is a talented storyteller and her characters are quite realistic and you can easily relate to them. In this case the only small issue is that I found the MC a bit too zen and patient for being realistic (sometimes she seems to be the embodiment of a mindfulness course) and Barbara, the arch-villain, a bit too caricatural.
The plot is tightly knitted and flows, you read about the characters story and I couldn’t help rooting for Mackenzie and hoping for the best.
Some moments made me laugh, other moved me to tears and I was involved in the plot and some parts reflected personal experiences of mine.
A good story that I recommend, perfect for this bleak times when we need hope in a better future.

A dark, gripping and well written story that kept on the edge till the end.
It's fast paced, full of twists and turns, and sometimes a bit disturbing.
You get to know these women, their fears and their stories.
The mystery part is twisted and the solution came as a surprise.
The author is an excellent storyteller and I couldn't put it down.
Highly recommended.

This reviewer is unobservant and didn’t notice this was the third in the Long Game Series and requested it on Netgalley and accepted to be part of the blog blast too.
Best practice always recommend to read the books in a series in order as you will be missing large chunks of the character background and the world building but this isn’t what I did.
I read this book and had a lot of fun as it’s an action packed, fast paced and pure fun story that made me turn pages as fast I could.
I loved the strong female characters, Orry and Jane the sentient ship above all, but I think that all the characters are well rounded and interesting.
The plot is tightly knitted and I loved the storytelling and how to author always kept my attention alive. I think this is a sort of space opera thriller and I wanted to know who did it and why, the twists and turns of the plot kept me guessing and I rooted for the characters as they have to face very dangerous places and enemies. There’s plenty of humor and I loved it as it added to my entertainment.
Even if I missed the details of the world building I found it interesting and want to know more about the The Departed, the Ruuz and the power relationship in this universe.
I bought the previous two installments, Shattermoon and Morhelion, and I’m ready to read this series from the beginning and I’m sure I will enjoyed them as much as I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
It’s strongly recommended.

It was the first book I read by this author and it was a great discovery.
It's an enjoyable and entertaining book that will make you laugh and move.
You cannot help rooting for the lovely and well written characters and be involved in their story.
I loved how the plot was developed and was hooked since the first pages.
I look forward to reading other books by this author.
Highly recommended!

This is the second book I read in this series and I'm thinking of reading the others as I loved every moment of this book.
It's complex story, full of twists and turns, that kept me turning pages as fast as I could and kept reading till late in the night and I didn't want to stop even if it was 2 am.
It can be read as a stand alone even if there are some references to previous cases and the return of some characters.
The plot is full of twists and turns, tightly knitted, and kept me on the edge till the end because the culprit part seemed to be less important as all the the pieces of the puzzle fell into place.
The characters are well developed and interesting, the paranormal element is fascinating and always leaves space to doubts about what happened.
A highly entertaining, gripping and enthralling story that I strongly recommend.

I loved this book and I loved the well written, realistic and relatable characters.
It’s a heartwarming and uplifting story that can make you laugh but it also features poignant moments that moved me.
Ally is a mess at the beginning of the story: she’s homeless, jobless and just ended her first important love story. She has to find a purpose and to rebuild herself a how to be happy being single.
I loved her character arc: at the beginning of the story she’s a mess but we read about her new experiences, finding or renewing friendships and discovering a purpose and what she wants. It’s a trial and error process that will cause troubles but it’s also a realistic description of how growing up.
I liked Jeremy, a troubled and suffering friend, Ally’s father and Malcom the cat, a very realistic description of cat behavior. I think that author did an excellent job developing her characters and I liked how realistic they are.
The plot is tightly knitted and flows, this is a page turner that I couldn’t put it down.
It’s a rom-com but it’s a also a sort of Bildungsroman, a clever and witty description of the process of growing up and becoming an adult.
I found this story compelling and highly entertaining, an excellent debut.
I look forward to reading other books by this author, this one is strongly recommended.
