Having accidentally read the third book of this series first I would definitely recommend reading them in order. I mean the third book made sense without the rest but it definitely helps you to understand Grace and her background as well as her friendship with Ivo (one of my favourite characters).

A female student goes missing and then the body of a different girl turns up. Grace has the job of solving a murder and trying to decide if it is linked to the missing girl. Disturbing details of the murder are then leaked to the press and Grace has to decide who can be trusted.

I really enjoyed getting to know Grace and seeing her at the beginning of her new job. With regards to the murderer I suspected a few people and did guess the murderer but I still really enjoyed reading until the end. One of the deaths was so devastating. I really was not expecting that and it definitely broke my heart a little bit. If you love a good who done it then I definitely recommend Isabelle Grey and I need to get the second book asap.

I really enjoyed that this book follows both the pathology and police investigation. I'm also a huge fan of Hal and loved the friendship between him and Schwartzman.

Schwartzman escaped an abusive husband 7 years ago and has slowly been rebuilding her life. But when a murder victim resembles her she is thrown back into her past. The author really captures the fear that follows Schwartzman and my heart broke for her. Trying to work out if the ex is behind it and how the hell he could have done it kept me hooked.

This is definitely a great book to read if you love psychological thrillers. I ended up questioning everything.

In typical Chris Carter fashion this book is gory and sucks you in with the first chapter. I think The Robert Hunter series is probably one of my favourites. This is the 9th book in the series and I highly recommend you go and read them all as they are so much better read in order.

In the Gallery of the Dead, Hunter and Garcia join forces with the FBI to try and track a killer who seems to be leaving a trail of bodies with no connections. Each new body just adds to the confusion.

There is a twist that I was not expecting, which left me a tad devastated. I mean I knew something was going to go wrong I just wasn't expecting it to that degree.

Garcia's sarcasm is out in full force in this book which made me laugh a few times. However, I found some parts of the book a bit long winded. Explanations don't need to be that long. Although, there are times when Hunter has huge revelations with regards to the case and we are never told how he comes to those conclusions. You also need to be prepared to not put the book down as most chapters seem to end with a mini cliff hanger. The ending has definitely left me ready for the next one though.

Gallery of the Dead wasn't my favourite out of the Hunter series but I still really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who loves a gory crime thriller. If you are on the squeamish side I'd probably give it a miss because there is some seriously gross parts.

I picked this up because it was on offer and it sounded a bit different. I can safely say I was not a fan. At first I ended up really confused because the names in the synopsis didn't match the names of the couples in the story. It does make sense further on in the book though. There were also some continuity errors and the author makes out that smoking weed is one of the worst things in the world. There are shady drug dealers and even withdrawal symptoms.

Basically Jacob gets a life saving heart transplant and morphs into a different person. He goes from being the sweet, sensible son of a reverend to a violent man who drinks too much, smokes too much weed and abuses his girlfriend. The plot is based on cellular memory, meaning that the recipient takes on the personality of the donor which is an interesting topic. However, it moved into ridiculous when it made out that it could result in your fingerprints changing.

I found the book super predictable and pretty boring. Nothing majorly exciting happens. I also didn't find any of the characters likeable. We don't really know what Jacob was like pre transplant so it's hard to compare and his parents just irritated me. The ending was also a bit far fetched. I kept reading wondering if it was going anywhere but it didn't. I just can't seem to give up on a book without finishing it.

I had high expectations for this book due to seeing so many people rave about it. Safe to say it met up to them. I loved it. I ended up being late to my parents house because I could not put it down. I did have suspicions about one of the characters but it didn't ruin it for me. This book definitely gave me Scream vibes especially with Quincy depending on Coop (the policeman that found her) so much. It just made me think of Sidney & Dewey.

The flashbacks to the cabin kept me intrigued and made me as desperate as Quincy to know what happened that night. There was a part in the middle where Sam leads Quincy astray that didn't really seem to have a point and the level of violence wasn't really needed. Apart from that I was hooked until the very last page. There are a couple of twists that added to the drama filled finale. I honestly look forward to seeing what Riley Sager comes up with next.

Edinburgh and D.I Callanach are unaware that they have a serial killer on their hands. The killer guarantees a slow and painful death by using perfectly calculated doses of poison. Even the victims are unaware that they have been targeted. The killer then enjoys the aftermath. The hunt for the killer is made harder by the fact that no one seems to have seen/know him. Reading the toll that the deaths have on the family members is heartbreaking. There should also be a TW for suicide in this book so definitely don't read this one if that is one of your triggers. .

I love DCI Ava Turners and D.I Luc Callanachs chemistry. The fact that Ava has been promoted to be Lucs senior makes the feelings they have that much more complicated. I'm interested to see how they develop. We also learn a bit more about Lucs past and his relationship with his mother. There is also a sub plot including the death of an ex colleague and some questions over his life on the job which adds some action

I found this book a bit slow compared to the other 2 however I still enjoyed it and I can't wait for the next book in the series. I am definitely invested in Ava & Luc's lives.

I'm still trying to decide how I feel about Detective 'Wolf'. I was invested in the who done it but some of it seemed a bit implausible. The killer released 6 names along with the dates he plans on murdering them. The police do everything they can to try and keep these people safe but the killer is clever. Who the killer is is a bit over the top and slightly ridiculous but it added to the drama. It also kept switching time frames which was a bit hard to keep up with. I think the only reason I finished it was to find out who the hell it was and how Wolf got out of the pickle he was in. I feel like there was a lot of promise with 6 victims stitched together but it went a bit downhill. No spoiler but I am a little bit baffled as to how there is a second book. I feel like I'm going to have to read it just to see how.

I've wanted to read this for ages. I think I was drawn in by the gorgeous book cover. However, I have mixed feelings. I'm not entirely sure why I just found the writing style dragged a bit. I can't put my finger on why I didn't full on love it. I did enjoy it though and will be picking up more by this author. The murder kept me hooked and I didn't fully guess who did it. I really liked Erika as well, I'm all for a feisty female detective and Erika didn't let anything stop her getting answers.

I was a little bit sceptical about this one when I realised that it had my least favourite layout. It switches characters every few chapters and my poor brain sometimes struggles to keep track. However, I found this one pretty easy to keep up with. I spent the majority of this book questioning what happened the night of the fire as well as who the hell has it in for Connie. There's two storylines running alongside each other but they work well together and are pretty easy to keep straight. Once again I was not expecting most of the ending. I also loved DI Wade.

I love a good murder and I also love a good psychological thriller. This book combines the two perfectly but in a kind of terrifying way. The way in which the murders are committed is both clever and horrendous. The killer literally uses their worst fears and their minds against them. It questions what part of playing with the mind is going too far.

The hunt for the killer is pretty tense and kept me gripped. I definitely liked Frost's character and his tragic backstory added to the story instead of distracting us or making the character unlikable. I enjoyed it so much that I immediately went and found the second book.
