The Disappearance of Catherine Brodie - Grace Harper


I love Grace Harper. Seriously this woman makes me laugh. Check out her Facebook page here.

She's done some other fantastic works also!


Theres the Geary Brothers series. The first book shocked the shit out of me. Never thought it was going to be like how it was!

Look! It even comes in a box set! Well worth it!

As usual the normal disclaimer applies that this lovely author has graced my kindle with the ARC for an honest review.

The Disappearance of Catherine Brodie-


Catherine Brodie has a happy life in Brighton, she has friends, a secret boyfriend and almost at the end of her law degree. 

However, everything changes when she reaches her twentieth birthday. 

She tells a white lie to get out of a family dinner to celebrate her birthday and sneaks off to a party. The repercussions upend her secure and stable life. Two weeks later, she attends the funeral of her brother and parents. Each birthday following sends Catherine into turmoil with more heartache and misery. There are those that wish her harm. 

Alexander Devlin was there the night of her birthday and by coincidence, he crosses paths with her every year. Catherine dismisses the coincidence, but her best friend Tara Adkins is convinced fate is throwing them together. 

The first novel of a new quartet that tells the story of Catherine Brodie and her struggle to come to terms with what she did that had far-reaching consequences. It is an epic tale of love, passion, and revenge. 

Devastated with her loss, Catherine carves out a new life and starting her own business. The group of friends she picks up along the way helps her hide from those who wish her harm. It doesn’t take long for her harasser to find her and make her life a misery once more. 

The question is, will Alexander Devlin be there in time to save her?

Rachel's Review

When I received this ARC I was peeing my pants with excitement. Id seen all the pre release stuff on Facebook and I'd been waiting with baited breath for it to hit my kindle. I was hoping that this book would live up to the smashing synopsis I'd read in the pre-release bumph. (Yes on this occasion I'd read the synopsis before I'd read the book). 

I shouldn't have worried, it was a bloody cracking read! Seriously good. The writing changed through out the book to match the maturing character, it was so well written. Twists and turns and not knowing where you'll end up, how you got there or what would happen next. 

I loved this story and where it took me, I really felt for her in her saddest moments and hid behind an imaginary cushion in the exciting/scary/wtf scenes.

Bravo Grace, bravo. I love it and can't wait for the next installment.
