Shared Secrets for the Home Front Nurses by Rachel Brimble #Review #HomeFrontNurses

  It is now 1943 and we follow the lives of the Home Front Nurses as they cope with the effects of the Second World War. Shared Secrets for the Home Front Nurses by Rachel Brimble is published on February 13th by Boldwood Books .     ‘Come on, Kathy… tell me a secret.’ 1943: Becoming a Home Front nurse, meant Kathy Scott was finally able to escape the violence of her childhood. At long last, her life has taken a turn for the better. Particularly because, for the very first time, she’s made some wonderful friends–fellow nurses Sylvia, Freda and Veronica. Kathy’s known for not being short of a word or two. So nobody’s more surprised than her when she finds herself tongue-tied around Freda’s handsome brother, James – who’s home from war with an unexplained injury.   My Thoughts   The story of the Home Front Nurses continues into 1943 and Freda's ambition to nurse abroad gets ever closer.

The Collective by R S Williams **Blog Tour Review & Giveaway**


 I am so happy to start the blog tour off to celebrate the publication of R S Willams' latest book, The Collective. You can also win a signed paperback copy of the the book- full details on how to enter are at the foot of this post. (UK only).  Before we get to my thoughts on the book, here's a little bit about it:


Matilda Gregson never knew a world outside hers existed, that is until Harvey comes along and shows her something beyond her imagination. All that is on Tilly’s mind is finishing her dissertation, getting her degree, and spending time with her friends before the end of the school year.

But everything changes when she meets Jenny, an agent of a secret society, and nothing prepared either of them for the adventure they are about to endure. Under the pressures of surviving, their friendship grows and they find friends in the most unlikely of places, and betrayal just around the corner.
Will they both be able to stop him before he tears Jenny’s society to the ground?


My Thoughts 

The Collective has a strong opening where you quickly realise that all is not as it might appear. A fast moving adventure, it draws on fantasy and romance to keep the story moving forward. The changes in time zones are handled smoothly and it is quite easy to buy into the premise and enter into the spirit of the story. The plot is complicated but well handled and carries you through twists and turns to the end. 

I enjoyed the two main female characters,Tilly and Jenny, who strike up a friendship in the most unlikely of situations. It is interesting to see the story through their viewpoints and to see each one through the other's eyes. The story certainly kept me on my toes and I did not foresee the ending at all. I am sure there is more to come.

In short: strong characters and a twisty-turny plot make for a great adventure story.
