Kath | 1233 comments This should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me being as I make no secret of being a bit of a fan of "our Jamie" but here's my opinion/review of his latest book...

I have read all of this author's books and, although most of them have been outside my usual genre of choice, I have enjoyed them all. Now this book IS my usual read so I started it knowing that it had a bit to live up to to satisfy me.
And boy did it... Once again the characters came across so real that I reckon this author does more than his fair share of people watching! The background and description are kept to the right amount, enough to support the story but not too much that they take the reader's attention away from it.
There are a few story-lines running through the book - multiple bodies unearthed, abuse in asylums, euthanasia and, if that wasn't enough, the author throws in a serial killer too. All these stories are quite major and there could have been a danger that there was too much going on in the book but the author manages very successfully to keep it balanced and juggles the stories throughout to give completely satisfactory conclusions.
I am not sure if this is stand alone or if we will be seeing Rhiannon and Tom in future books, I for one would like that very much.


Kath Middleton | 23860 comments I knew you'd say this Kath. As soon as I've caught up I shall be following in your footsteps - again!


Kath | 1233 comments He has excelled himself this time for sure :) well I think so anyway!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did Ignite.


Kath Middleton | 23860 comments I've always enjoyed all I've read of Jamie's work. He's got a way with him, you might say!


Kath | 1233 comments He has indeed, especially considering all his books are very different styles/genres...

Jamie Sinclair | 939 comments Evening! Only just spotted this exchange. Blimey you are good to me and it's much appreciated. As most "indie" authors will testify, making millions is the dream but reviews and comments like these are what make writing worthwhile. Thanks very much.


Kath | 1233 comments You are most welcome Jamie - I am still waiting to hear what ignite thinks of your book :)


Kath | 1233 comments Oh yeah, Jamie, in case you hadn't seen, Rosen used my review (edited slightly) in the pilot edition of Indie Scene mag :)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments I'm still reading it Kath. Progress has been a bit slow as I've had several proof reads to slot in just lately. It's certainly gripping me!

Kath | 1233 comments How are you getting on now Ignite ?


message 11: by Kath (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Still reading it - in bits. I'm still really drawn into the story. However, I'm still proofreading. Doesn't help when authors keep adding bits to the books!

I just need a couple of free days.

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Finished it last night, The whole second half at a sitting. It's a wonderfully complex web of stories, all with real situations. I kept wondering what I'd do in those circumstances.

I'm off out shortly but I'll be reviewing it today.
