Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
4.0
I really 'enjoyed' this one. It was a great concept and really made me think. It's definitely more violent than I had anticipated.

I enjoyed this, but not quite as much as the first one. I really enjoyed the twists in this and seeing Millie again and how she has moved on to her life.
The 30th Candle by Angela Makholwa

This was a good story and I loved seeing the friends and their lives over a few years. I was surprised by something that happened towards the end but definitely the right ending so upped my rating for a 3 to a 3.5 star.

Not quite what I was expecting from a lockdown thriller. This was an average thriller but the concept was a good idea. I found that the story only really got more intense and interesting in the last third. There was a lot of jumping around in the timeline which whilst needed for the story I think for the title chapters they should have included which character's POV it was as well as the time.
