Rhyll Biest

Shelter by Rhyll Biest

I loved the style and feel of this author’s writing. I felt I was in the moment and with the characters seeing just what they did as I read. I wrote an e-mail to my sister telling her to see if she can find this book even before finishing it – I really liked this story in so many ways.

What did I like?
* as mentioned, the author’s writing style
* the strength of both Kat and Luke
* the regard for animal welfare held by most in the story
* the location - in Australia (I like traveling through books)
* the growth of Kat and her relationship with Luke
* Stacey and Nick – wonder if they get a book of their own
* the empathy that was shown
* Luke’s ability to read Kate
* the fact that nobody was perfect but some were perfect for one another
* Galenka - though at times I want to wave her away
* Stumpy – what a sweetheart

What didn’t I like? Not much at all. I might have wondered at some of Kat’s thinking and actions toward the end but I was actually sorry to see the book end.

This is a new author to me and I am hooked. I look forward to looking for other books to read by her.

Thank you to NetGalley and Escape Publishing for the ARC. This is my honest review.

5 Stars… (mere)
