Advantages: Well developed characters, great plot, so so enjoyable Disadvantages: None
I seem to be getting through a lot of books at the moment, so when my mum sent me a few new ones to read that she had enjoyed, I grabbed this one from the top of the pile, knowing I would enjoy it. I have read a previous novel by Sophie King and loved it, so I felt quite sure I would very much enjoy this one too.

Advantages: a great read Disadvantages: ending is abrupt

Second Time Lucky is no exception with the amount of characters we meet along the way.
