Locked In

Loved the idea of this book, it is so plausible and could happen to anyone , and how would we react? I wish I had read the first book and got to know the main character Ariadne I think that would have made a difference because I had to get into the book and get to know her and start to care about what happened to her and the others in that situation if I had read the first book I would have been routing for her straight away, but that is my fault, and I am always reading books in the wrong order.I thought this book was good and the pace was fine it had some interesting characters and kept my interest.No spoilers but worth a read and a bit different to other books I have read recently,and I like different. I like authors who are original and also a bit quirky.Thanks to the publishers and netgalley for the ARC.

Great book. Brilliant storyline and excellent main characters. I would not hesitate to recommend this book.

Ok, so this is book two in a series and I haven't read book one. I hate doing that and it is normally something that I avoid but for some reason I read the blurb for this book and I just wanted to read it. And I'm very pleased that I did.

What followed was an unexpected thrilling read that hooked me right from the start and kept me right there until the very last page. It was a book that I stayed up late to read, it's a book that I thought about when I couldn't read it and it's a book that I made sure that I had more time in the day to read. I had to know what happened.

Ariadne was a great character, although not always that likeable she was engaging and incredibly feisty, she has to use everything that she's got when she finds herself caught up in a bank robbery. She finds herself getting the attention of the robbers when one of them recognises her from his time inside. That is not good for Ariadne. 

I don't feel for a moment that I missed out because I hadn't read book one, but I have now got the first book, Locked Up, on my kindle ready for me to read when I get the chance and I will most definitely be reading book three when it is released later in the year. 

This is a twisty and turny thrilling ride with some great characters and an original take on what could have been quite a run of the mill storyline. I really enjoyed reading this book and will most definitely recommend it to my friends.

Thank you to Bloodhound Books for a copy of Locked In by GB Williams. I was under no obligation to review the book and all thoughts are my own.

I was already in awe of book one, so I couldn’t wait to read this book. I think it’s even better. I couldn’t put it down and basically ignored my life just to finish it!

#LockedIn by GW Williams

I read this book as a stand-alone but have already bought the first one which is obviously a sign that I really like this book. There were no major problems with not having read the first one first except of course that I had to do a little more intense memory reading to keep track of the characters which by the way are interesting and well thought out. Ariadne Teddington is the major character. She is a correctional officer who founds herself in a bank doing daily activities when the bank gets robbed. Unfortunately some of the robbers have
dealt with her when they were locked up for difficult crimes and she only finds
this out by hearing them talking amongst them selves. She doesn’t recognize any of them but have a feeling about Mr Brown who somehow seems familiar. Most of the book takes place in the bank and about 60% in they finally get away. The little girl is so realistic that you just want to shake her and tell her to be quiet because she is responsible for much of the tension in the bank. It was a nice thought out story that kept me reading unfortunately into the late night. I would obviously recommend this book to anyone but I would still tell them to buy the first book first. Right now it is on sale for $0.99 so you can’t go wrong with the price. I received this book from #NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased review. Great book!

This book promised suspense and drama and it more than delivered its promise.

The protagonist, Ariadne Teddington is held against her will as a bank heist hostage. Held with several other people, the race is on to try and survive. Ariadne is a prison guard and the tension surrounding whether the criminals guarding the bank know this is more than my beating heart can take!

It was an excellent read with fantastically written characters who revolve not just around the heist plot but several other character sub-plots which all tie together.

I haven’t read the first in the series and didn’t know the characters before picking up this book and I really didn’t find it a problems. You’re not on the back foot or miss any information or character development as a result. Highly recommend!
