An amazing book, genre of book I don't normally read but it was so well put, placed and written it made me gasp, squeal and literally jump around the room especially with the plot twist at the end, I thought it would happen earlier in the book and when it didn't I just thought they were all cool,. But I was so wrong.  (It caught me so of guard). I adored every minute of this book and I cant wait to read more books just like it.

Book: Do No Harm
Author: Jack Jordan
Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Trigger Warnings: Murder, death, gun violence, emotional abuse, kidnapping

After being so trapped in the emotions and romances of The Miles High Club series this week I needed a change of scenery and my god did Do No Harm by Jack Jordan give me just that!! 

This book is so full of twists and turns, it keeps you right at the edge of your seat as you go through the nail biting chapters, what’s going to happen next? Surely nothing else can go wrong? It’s extremely riveting and yet another book that you are not going to want to put down!! 

It’s a story that is cleverly narrated by three women, Dr Anna Jones, Margot a scrub nurse and DI Rachel Conaty, we follow along their incredible thought processes as we make our way through the harrowing story!! 

This is a gut clenching, heart racing, fast paced novel that I can guarantee will be a page turner!! Go pick it up, I’m certain you won’t be disappointed!!!

AD PR ⛔️ Do No Harm ⛔️ Review 

“My child has been taken and I’ve been given a choice…kill a patient on the operating table or lose my son forever. I’ve saved many lives. Would you trust me with yours?”👩🏻‍⚕️

⭐️⭐️💫 2.5 Stars

Thank you @tandemcollectiveuk @jackjordan_author and @simonschusteruk for sending me this copy as part of the readalong. 🥰

A really unique idea for a thriller from Jack Jordan. I too had that fear when looking at the anaesthetist before surgery, knowing you have no idea what will happen from that point. 😱

I enjoyed the short chapters and the tension build up to the surgery. That chapter had me hooked! I personally didn’t expect it to take the route it did, I’m not sure I enjoyed the second half as much. But it was a great debut. 👍🏻

W O W

This book was absolutely fantastic. It kept me gripped all the way through - so much so that I had to stop myself from going past each days pages! 

…. I did finish it a day early though because I couldn’t help myself ….

The short chapters helped build the tension and cliffhangers made you want to keep reading. The points where we were told to finish were always right as something juicy had happened and having to wait until the next day was a struggle.

I really liked the 3 characters perspectives - Anna, Margot and Rachel. They all helped to tell the story at different stages. I would’ve liked more about Rachel though, maybe a short story about what happened to Jamie as he’s repeatedly mentioned but we don’t really know what happened with that case.

My choice at the start of the book was to kill the patient. I thought that I’d change my mind as I found out more about who the patient was but I stick with my decision to save the child over the patient.

I highly recommend this book - a thrilling read! I’ll definitely be reading more by this author.
