Title: Time to Die
Author: Caroline Mitchell
Release Date: 24th September 2015
Rating: 4 Stars
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture who gave me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
'Time to Die' is a wonderful page turning thriller that would appeal to anyone who enjoys a good story with a supernatural element running through it. This is the second in Caroline Mitchell's DC Jennifer Knight series and is every bit as good as the first.
I don't like to give too much away when I review books like this one as I think it's so much better to go into it without knowing any of the twists and turns that happen along the way. All I will say is that 'Time to Die' is a beautifully written crime novel with a surprising supernatural twist. Once started it is very difficult to put down and if you're anything like me, you will find yourself reading long into the night until the final thrilling page has been turned.
As a big fan of James Oswald's Tony McLean series, I've been looking for another author with a similar love of the supernatural, and I'm happy to say I think I've found her in the shape of Caroline Mitchell. Definitely an author I will look out for in the future.
A fabulous 4 star read. Highly recommended.

Book Review - Charlie and Pearl by Tammy Robinson
Title: Charlie and Pearl
Author: Tammy Robinson
Rating: 4 stars
Charlie and Pearl is a quick read that has a writing style with a lovely flow to it that makes it very difficult to put down. I can't say too much without giving something away, so I'll keep this review short and to the point.
It's a beautifully written love story that gently flows along for the first half of the book, but then takes a couple of unexpected turns that culminate in an ending that will take your breath away.
This is a book that will most likely divide opinion. Some people will love the ending, while others (and I am one of them) will understand it but not like it.
A beautifully written love story that will tug at your heartstrings and will definitely give you food for thought. Tammy Robinson is a new author to me, but one I will look out for in the future. Her writing style is beautiful.
A tearjerking 4 stars.

Book Review - The Murderer's Daughter by Jonathan Kellerman
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher who gave me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was my first Jonathan Kellerman book, but it definitely won't be my last. It drew me in from the very first page when we meet Grace for the first time as a little girl. She's a fascinating character that will stay with me for a long time to come, and is one that I hope to meet again in future novels. I have a feeling that her future is going to be every bit as interesting as her past has been.
The Murderer's Daughter is told both in the past and the present day. The sections of the story dealing with Grace's past were fascinating and I found it very difficult to put the book down during these parts of the story. Although the present day aspect of the story did drag a little in places, the flashbacks to Grace's past were enthralling and more than made up for it.
It's difficult to place this book in any particular genre. It does have some aspects of a psychological thriller, especially the parts told in the present day, but it is so much more than that.
It's a book that ended up being very different to anything I've ever read before and I enjoyed it immensely. An excellent 4 star read. Recommended.
