#BlogTour: You Had It Coming by B. M. Carroll @bmcarrollauthor @ViperBooks @RandomTTours #YouHadItComing #BMCarroll #RandomThingsTours

Book Synopsis:

WOULD YOU SAVE THE MAN
WHO DESTROYED YOUR LIFE?

When paramedic Megan Lowe is called to the scene of an attempted murder, all she can do is try to save the victim. But as the man is lifted onto a stretcher, she realises she knows him. She despises him. Why should she save his life when he destroyed hers?

Jess Foster is on her way home when she receives a text from Megan. Once best friends, the two women haven’t been close for years, not since the night when they were just the teenage girls whom no-one believed; whose reputations were ruined. All Jess can think is, you had it coming.

Now Megan and Jess are at the centre of a murder investigation. But what secrets are they hiding? Can they trust one another? And who really is the victim?

Perfect for fans of C.L. Taylor, Lucy Foley and Lisa Hall, You Had It Coming is a thrilling tale of suspense and dark secrets.

My Review:

You Had It Coming is a intriguing, tense and very twisty thriller from a new author for me.I was quickly absorbed into the story and found the book hard to put down so it’s perhaps best to not start this last thing at night like I did.

The story is told from the point of view of Megan, Jess and Detective Sergeant Bridget Kennedy which helped show the reader all the different sides to the story. The characters are all great creations which who I enjoyed reading about. I liked that the author spends time developing the characters in the first half of the book so that the reader feels they really know them and understanding what makes them tick. I felt very sorry for the two girls Megan and Jess having to relive everything they went through in their past. This story does cover some difficult subjects but the author does this with great sensitivity so it’s never graphic which might cause upset.

The pace of the book gradually increases as the book goes on and the many twists helped keep me guessing. Just when I thought I had figured out who the killer was something would happen to make the story spin off in a completely different direction. All the characters seemed to have a motive and I think I suspected all of them at one point. I found it very enjoyable to follow the case whilst trying to work out who the killer was. This was the first book I’ve read from this author and I’d definitely be interested in reading more from them in the future.

Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Viper for my copy of this book via netgalley.
