This has to be the best quick read I have read yet! Thrilling. Gripping. Tense. Edgy. Dark. Twisted. Deadly. I was hooked. I am a big fan of this authors books but due to concentration levels going awol quick reads are helping me. This is brilliantly written. Full of suspense.
Meg is given a new heart through a donor and the family soon gets in touch with the donors family and a relationship emerges which quickly turns dark and deadly fast. They were warned not to have contact and they should have listened. Heart pounding especially the ending had my pulse racing. A well deserved four stars from me. Highly recommend. Loved it. Brilliant.

This was a 'short read' but it didn't feel short at all. The author sucks you into the story and I was so engaged and wrapped up in it that I didn't realise it was so close to the end until I was finished! A good read!

I picked this up as a wee cheap number as I have read a few of the author’s author books.

It was indeed a quick read and I really enjoyed it! Interesting plot that would translate well into a longer novel.

Will read more from the author and definitely pick up more ‘quick reads’ if they catch my eye!

I love a short story that can pack a punch in so few pages! The Donor is about a heart transplant gone wrong and while heartwarming in its themes of motherhood and the lengths a mother will go to for her child, it is infinitely creepy as well. The plot itself was a little predictable but I can't complain too much on the details when it's so short as a whole. I liked the characters well enough for a novella and enjoyed the thrill of the climax at the end, as well as the ambiguity.
