Neon - GS Locke


I was offered the chance to read this as part of a blog tour. It sounded right up my street so of course I said yes straight away.

This book packs a punch right from the outset. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is hard to describe without giving anything away but for me its probably one of the best books I've read in a while. I loved the short sharp punchy chapters.

The story is portrayed from 3 perspectives, and it was easy to follow despite each chapter not having a heading. This later on  is a good thing as all of the characters soon merge into the chapters together. There didn't seem to be a lot of faffing about in this book. It went to where it needed to be and got to the point straight away.

I thought the whole idea of the neon signs was original and creative. I haven't read a crime book in which this is the killers calling card. Neon, is very sneaky and knows exactly what to do in order to hide himself, he also has the perfect life to do this. 

I have to say I was hoping for a different ending as I loved this team together. I cannot wait to see what this author comes up with next.

Let it Snow - Sue Moorcroft

Buy Here I have to be honest and say I am only 70% through this book, so I will review up to where I have read. When I started this book I was a bit unsure where it was going or what it was doing. However it was soon explained as the characters and the plot started to thicken.  I am really enjoying getting to know the characters and going through their life with them. Highs and low. Of course as always some are more liked than others, but I'll let you make your own judgement on that!  Sue really does describe the atmosphere and the locations so that you can see them and imagine you are there too. It's making me want to wrap up warm and go and play in the snow.  I am excited to read the rest of the book and hopefully my predictions are correct.... Or not!
