My Review:
I’ve been a huge fan of this author and this series so was delighted to have the chance to read this, the last book in the series. It’s another absolutely corker of a book but it was also quite a bittersweet read as I just didn’t want it to end.
This book describes the last few moments of the second world war but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s getting easier. The introduction of V1 and V2 bombs brought another level to the blitz as there was no warning that they were coming. The level of detail the author used to describe the bomb sites and the general atmosphere during the blitz was truly exceptional. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book that describes the situation so well that the reader feels like they are actually there experiencing everything alongside the characters.
I felt incredibly sad that this series was ending and I had to say goodbye to the fabulous characters that I had grown incredibly fond of. The fact that they were also having to say goodbye to each other was heartbreaking and I found myself tearing up as I remembered everything they had been through together. I found myself hoping that they would remain friends and still see each other.
This was a very absorbing book and I soon felt drawn back into their lives. There is lots of interesting things going on which completely kept my attention. I so enjoyed following the characters as they went about their lives.
Huge thanks to Rachel from Rachel’s Random resources for inviting me onto the blog tour and to the publishers for my copy of this book via Netgalley.
