After All I’ve done

Title: After all I’ve done

Author: Mina Hardy

Publisher: Crooked Lane Books

Release Date: 10th November 2020

Book blurb from Amazon: Five months ago, an accident left Diana Sparrow badly injured and missing a few months of her memory. As if that’s not enough, she’s started having recurring nightmares about the night of the accident. Dreams that feel so real, she’s left questioning: maybe she didn’t just slide off the road into a ditch. Maybe, just maybe, she hit something. Or someone.

What do I reckon & my rating: Fairly early on I thought I knew what was happening in this book. I was wrong. About as far wrong as you can get.

Our main character is Diana. The story starts with her recovering from an awful car accident. A side effect of the accident is that Diana has some amnesia. She cannot remember a large chunk of time before the accident.

Diana lives with her husband Jonathon. They do not have any children. Her mother in law Harriet lives in an apartment at their home. She starts to piece together the events leading up to the accident, her brain is understandably confused with recovery and the things she learns surprise and disgust her.

The story is written from a few different points of view which keeps the plot moving and the reader guessing.

This book fits into the thriller category quite well. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good build up and a suspenseful ending.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

A solid 4/5 stars.

Review – Odriel’s Heirs

Title: Odriel’s Heirs

Author: Hayley Reese Chow

Book Blurb from Amazon: As the Dragon Heir, seventeen-year-old Kaia inherited the power of flame to protect her homeland from a godlike necromancer’s undead army. But after centuries of peace, the necromancer has faded to myth, and the Dragon Heir is feared by the people. Persecuted and cast out, Kaia struggles to embrace and control her seemingly useless gift while confined to her family’s farm.

My thoughts: Well, this book has a LOT going on.

Our Main character is Kaia Dashul, a young women of almost 18 who as the eldest child in the family is the heir to a specific set of skills.

Kaia has a twin brother (while he is not part of the inheritance, he does have a part in the story) and other younger siblings.

This book is aimed at Young adult readers, and I can see someone who already established a good relationship with reading really enjoying it.

Hayley has built the world in the book really well, and just when you think you know where its going something happens to keep you on your toes.

The book covers themes like:

War

Feminism

Suicide

Family

Friendship.

I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for the follow up to this book.

I received and advanced review copy of this book and am leaving my review honestly and voluntarily.
