📚 🅱🅻🅾🅶 🆃🅾🆄🆁 🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆 📚 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗛𝗜𝗩𝗘 by Scarlett Brade ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m so thrilled to share my thoughts on The Hive as part of the blog tour hosted by Random Things Tours on behalf of Zaffre Books. Thank you for my spot on the tour and for a cope of the book in exchange for an honest review. 𝗠𝗬 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 How do you start a book and grab your audience, especially as a debut author? Your main character has murdered one person, and her ex sits with her gun pointed at his head, all live streamed on The Hive. I must admit the pace of the beginning was breathtaking and set the tone for the rest of the story which transports the reader back one year to detail how their relationship began, ended, and the descent into the situation we found at the start. I didn’t completely like Charlotte, but her strength and determination to tell the story of her toxic relationship with Lincoln, more than made up for that. I did like ’the sisterhood’ and the bond between them since childhood. That kind of camaraderie is a rare thing. I syrongly disliked Lincoln, and the skill of the author in making me think of how I would vote for his fate was disturbing and brilliant in equal measure. Overall, this is a book I thoroughly enjoyed reading, and cannot recommend enough to any readers, but especially those who like revenge thrillers. I gave The Hive, by Scarlett Brade, five stars and look forward to reading her next book. #ad #gifted #thehive #scarlettbrade #Zaffre #randomthingstours #revengethriller #booklover #bookstagrammers #johnsbookshelf #bookstabloggers #bookreader #blogtour #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookshelf #bookaddict #igreads #bookblog #readabook #johnsbookshelfblogs #bookaholic #fortheloveofbooks #goodreadschallenge2022 #bookpost #blogpost #johnsbookshelfreviews #honestreviewsonly (at Southampton, England, U.K.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgzCOzNrA7n/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
