Welcome to Litsy!

Good. Interesting characters as they were a German/English family in the midst of World War 1. It showed how the experience of war affected their place in the world and how they fitted into it.

Good. Love the twists and turns that this book brings it left me guessing right till the end. Even though this is book 5 of The Eddie Flynn series, and some of the characters refer back to other cases it doesn't hamper the story as it is easy to read as a stand alone.

Recommended on the BBC Book show Between the Covers. I seriously think that show is bad for my TBR as this is the 3rd book I have bought because of this show! 😂😂

Good. Fans of the T. V show Emmerdale will enjoy seeing familiar names. Don't be fooled by the title as the only Christmas scene was the last chapter was a bit disappointed by this. It was a good story. Just a warning though as domestic violence as a theme does feature heavily and there is a rape scene as well. Thank you #Netgalley for the free copy.

Very good. This is a story of secrets and how they can affect a family down the generations if they are revealed. A real page turner as the author slips in references that even though there are plenty of secrets within this family there is a much bigger secret to come and that it could have devastating effects if revealed.

Very good. Interesting characters and concept. A real page turner and a atmospheric book. My only issue with this is that there could have been a chapter near the beginning to explain how they came to be living in this world with the government banning unhealthy food, rather than little snippets here and there. Fans of The Handmaid's Tale and Vox will love this. Can't believe this is a debut novel.
