I was so happy to be part of the read along, and I am sad it has ended. The Empathist is about Amy, who is 30 years old and has a great career, but no one knows she is running from her past, and she’s trying hard not to remember. The Empathist hooks you into its story straight the way to the point where you cannot put it down. I found this to be an interesting and fascinating read that kept me on my toes all the way through. I love how I was guessing all the way throughout the book and kept changing my mind what, I thought, was going to happen, and I was so wrong. Furthermore, I love the twists and turns in the book, I felt like I was on a roll coaster of ride while I was reading Empathist. Fantastically written. 5 stars.

Thank you @rararesources For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Where do I start, I absolutely adore Phoebe Macleod books, they are engaging and heartwarming from start to finish. When I am stressed, I struggle to read. Phoebe Macleod books always help, and Love Accidentally did not let me down. It was brilliant. This is a romance genre and the story about Tilly, who is a nurse working in accident and emergency. Tilly meets a young junior doctor called like, and is he the one? I was entertained from the minute I opened the book until the end. It made me laugh and feel different emotions while reading the book. I liked the characters and that they were all different and was good to see them develop through the book.

The story is written from different points of view, which I thoroughly enjoyed and felt like I got to know the characters better, and it all linked in well. The story is about Marcus, whose son Greg took a weapon to work and killed several people. Marcus was a health professional and did not see his son struggling and has found this difficult, and now he is in a Barbary hospital suffering from amnesia. I found Cordial Convictions sad at times and has great suspense running through the book. I liked how the story went from present to past, it worked very well and is a thrilling read. The story is written elegantly, and I enjoyed the description and detail of Kateri Stanley's writing. I will definitely be reading book 1 and reading more of her books. 4 stars Kateri’s Bio Kateri Stanley is a dark f...

The narrative of the story is Chloe, who has moved into a quiet place called the Glen to get away from her ex partner Martin, but the Glen is not at all what she thought it would be.
