BLOG TOUR ~ Strangers by C.L. Taylor

Hi everyone,

Today is my stop on the Blog Tour for Strangers by C.L. Taylor where I've a review from her latest novel. I was thrilled to be asked by Sanjana Cunniah from Avon Books to take part along with some other fab book bloggers. You can find out who else has taken part in this fabulous Blog Tour at the end of the review so without further ado, here it is:


They know you. But you don't know them.......
Ursula: lonely, grieving, has a bit of a habit taking things that aren't hers....

Gareth: security guard, lives with his mother, inagines a different life...

Alice: single Mum, works in a shopping centre, just started dating again...

Well, where do I start with this, only with I absolutely LOVED it. I thought C.L. Taylor's books were all brilliant especially her last three books, The Escape, The Fear and Sleep but I felt that Strangers was even better, I devoured it in a couple of days, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I LOVE the way Cally's writing is so different to other books I've read before, it's not a 'whydunit' story as we do get to know that from near the start but it's more of a 'whodunit' with layers upon layers of deception and lies that unfold before our eyes the deeper you get into it. Strangers is told from mainly three characters throughout the book, Alice, Gareth and Ursula, each with their own story. Ursula, Gareth and Alice have never met before. Ursula thinks she killed the love of her life. Gareth's been receiving strange postcards and Alice is being stalked. None of them are used to relying on others but when the three strangers' lives unexpectedly collide, there's only one thing for it, they have to stick together. Otherwise, one of them will die. Three strangers, two secrets, one terrifying evening. I have to say that I absolutely loved the characters and what an opening chapter to open a book, it was brilliant, but I don't want to really say too much more without spoiling it other than just go out and buy Strangers.

The million-copy bestseller returns with a gripping new novel that will keep you guessing until the end. It is just brilliant and I'd HIGHLY recommend it so make sure you grab a copy to bring along with you on holidays as it'll be the perfect beach read.

Strangers is available from all good bookshops, libraries, audio and on Kindle where it is currently £0.99 at the time of publication of this review.
