stormlightreader 's review for:
Holy Island
by L.J. Ross
What drove me to pick this up? The cover. End of story 😂
Reading a book set so close to home (and that even mentions my home City) is excellent! The pacing was good and the writing is easy to binge. I especially enjoyed the British banter/phrases. The characters were done well. I disliked some and quite liked others, particularly Anna and Ryan (although he does have some annoying traits). He comments on Anna making him angry for various (minor) reasons and he is a little over protective seeing as they've just met. Thought, there is some justification for it, it was still jarring to read. I do like them as a couple, but the relationship develops really quickly (3 days) and they become so dependent on each other so quickly. On a more positive note, I tried to figure out the 'whodunnit' and I was sort of right but glad I wasn't spot on. The ending felt a little convenient but otherwise, an enjoyable mystery.
