What book kept you on the edge of your seat and made your jaw drop until the very end?
Belle by Lesley pearse. I am yet to find one where that subject of story has been told as brilliantly as that book.
@Sophie looking it up now
@Bianca it’s fab . It’s not a true story but what happens in the story did go on in the past and I’m sure it still does now. It was one of those golden books for me where I couldn’t stop reading.
@Sophie I dont usually like historical romance style books, but you have me wanting to check this one out!
@DaLorean I don’t normally either ! It’s not really a romance story although there is romance in it , but it’s just such a well told story . Give it a go honestly you never know it could also be your golden book too. The story in my opinion is just told with perfection
@Sophie added it to my list! Thanks for the suggestion!

Still Life With Crows by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. It’s the 3rd of their Pendergast series but it’s absolutely a stand alone. But it kept me reading all night because I had to finish it.
@Amber I love this series. I can read this series every few years. They add a new book every few tears. A new one is coming out in January, I think.
