Welcome to Litsy!

This is book 5 of the Helen Grace series. Helen‘s current case is hitting close to home as a killer appears to be targeting members of the BDSM community. As usual, this was a gripping novel that I couldn‘t stop listening to. It also makes me want to pick up the next one soon. #Bookspinbingo #NovelNovember

TBH, I am a little tired of the nasty reporter character. I think I audibly said ‘Ugh‘ when she showed up. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Book 5 in the Helen Grace series and they just keep getting better 😍 I was completely gripped and the ending was brilliant. I really want to start the next one straight away but trying to make them last 🤣

The title caught my eye. Personally, I think the cover does the story no justice because the plotline was surprisingly better than I expected. I really liked the continuous buildups towards the suspects and the frustrating revelations that meant the case wasn't over. The twists were very well executed and I couldn't put the book down.

Some blue ones on my kindle 😁 75% read rate, go me.

DI Helen Grace returns in the fifth book in the series & she is after a killer who is targeting victims from the BDSM scene. This is uncomfortably close to home for Grace & meanwhile her boss reveals himself to be a creepy stalker type.

The series continues its ups & downs - this is one of the more engrossing books in the series, with a fast paced plot. 4🌟

Another great detective series ❤️

Another great book in the DI Helen Grace series!! Huge cliff hanger! I can‘t wait to read the next book!

This series is awesome! So glad I picked this book up after my reading slump this week. Hoping it‘ll put me back into the reading spirit!

Philly is back to the arctic chill (30 degree temperature drop in 24 hours 😒) so it‘s a hot breakfast kind of morning. #LitsyPartyofOne

Cuddling with Theo after an early morning with classes. Finished this page turner! Another amazing book in the Helen Grace series! This is one of those moments that I‘m glad that I have the next book. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 ✨4.5/5🌟

A short break early this morning between classes = reading time!!! 😍

After a busy day, I can finally sit down and read a little while my husband and Theo nap! 😴

A little cuddling and a little more reading before leaving to train a client this afternoon! I hardly ever read 2 books at a time but I felt like I couldn‘t wait for the next chapter with this series and Fever is too good to stop. 🤗

What I'm readin' now!!! #whatchareadin

4.5/5 stars
When the book started I expected to be slightly disappointed. It was slightly weird and highly personal for Helen and had her all across the map. But as the book went on it got better and I totally did not see the ending coming at all. That's what earned it the rating it got.

The Helen Grace series is one of my favorites. Helen is a badass. I can‘t wait to see how things turn out in the next book which I‘ll be starting tomorrow.

Wat een spannende onvoorspelbare einde! Dat heb ik echt niet zien aankomen. Ik voel me gebroken en ik denk niet dat ik kan wachten op de vertaling van de 6 de deel; ik denk dat ik ze in Engels ga kopen zodat ik kan weten hier hoe nu verder gaat want ik ben... sprakeloos 😏

"Misschien kon je in dit leven iemand nooit echt kennen. Misschien werd iemands ware zelf pas na de dood onthuld."

Wahoo! I loved this one!

Blowing up my own #TBR today with Goodreads searches for today's photo challenges. Of course, I have to find the first in the series and I need another series on my #TBR like I need another hole in my head. 🙄

Time for a little S&M with a pinch of murder 😳

Hanging out at the library because my car battery died. Waiting in my husband and I told him he didn't have to rush 🤣🤣#Bestplacetobestranded

Another great book in the Helen Grace series. These books are extremely easy to read. I found little boy blue to be my least favourite in the series so far as it was a bit predictable, however it was still very good and I can't wait for the next one yo find out what happens to Helen

I've read several "boy" books, but this one came to mind right away. It is number five in the series, and my order of number six (Hide and Seek) from the U.K. should be arriving today. I still don't see it listed for U.S. Publication and I couldn't wait any longer! #feistyfeb #boyinthetitle

Another gripping yarn in the Helen Grace series. Read this after Liar Liar and wasn't disappointed. Whenever I read a M J Arlidge book, I immediately want to pick up the next book by him! Not many authors achieve this. I'm saving Hide and Seek for now. Time for something a bit lighthearted!

Helen Grace is back, and this time it's VERY personal...

More book buys! Too bad I have no time to read 😭 Looks like they'll just be sitting on my shelf from now until forever

I hadn't intended to finish this tonight but it was just too interesting to put down. Definitely one of my favorite series. Hate that this ended on a cliff hanger. Going to be even more impatient for book 6.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Finally, a book with diversity! The main victim in this murder mystery was bi, and there are also other bisexuals, transgender and gay characters within. It's also heavily focused on BDSM and the people who enjoy it and why they find it appealing. It seems to aim to quell a lot of misunderstandings. I'm about a third of the way through, but it's been a very interesting read so far.

Can't believe this ended on such a cliffhanger! Really enjoy this series and glad I don't have too long to wait for the next one in paperback. Did not work this one out until quite far in which I liked. Love that the main character is a strong woman but with flaws.

Was going to catch up on tv tonight but instead I'm reading with the cat keeping me company 😺📚

My morning: didn't want to get up to do anything but then I remembered that the next book in one of my favorite series is released today. 😀

Everything about this book is dark, deadly, alarming and depraved. All of these things make for an enthralling read and one that I flew through rather quickly. The police are frustrated by dead end after dead end even after several very promising leads. The mounting exasperation adds to the tension and the book ends in a shocking cliffhanger that I never saw coming. I‘m positively desperate to read the next book to see how it will all play out.

A great installment in one of my favorite series. This one ends with a big cliffhanger, so I'm glad it isn't too long until the next installment.

Getting so much closer to release day for this one! 😱 9 days! 😀

Little Boy Blue with a Chainsaw. 😜😜😜😜😜

Great installment In the DI Helen Grace series - each thriller gets a bit better - this one ends on a bit of a cliff hanger.

Just a small part of my August TBR. Thanks Edelwiess!

Diving into the fifth Helen Grace novel. I've really started to enjoy this series the last couple of books.
