Simply Brilliant
I have read all of the books in this series and it just seems to get better and better.
Kimberley Chambers, in my view, is one of the best authors out there and brings a real sense of being involved. It will be hard, but I will be waiting for the next instalment.

FABULOUS!
What did you like most about Tainted Love?
Queeny(ie) what a great character. Her and her sister Viv made the book. All the different characters and their relationships are powerful and how they intertwine is exciting, the dialogues are proper Eastend, Annie performed them perfectly. This book is a mixture of all the emotions, laugh, cry, anger, sympathy, it is excellent. It's a "must"!
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Queeny and Viv are so funny, lots of great dialogue, I was LOL quite a lot, so much so, when out with the dogs in the forest I found myself looking around to make sure no one was listening.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes a particular death (I won't spoil it by mentioning who), it was unnecessary and came out of the blue. The worst part is that this type of brutality does exist in real life.
Any additional comments?
I have loved these books and feel a little empty that the Butler / Mitchell feud has come to an end. Keep writing Kimberly and Annie you are the very best, love listening to you, don't you stop either.

What did you like about this audiobook?
I love how this book connects the Butler and Mitchell families. It would not be so good if you haven't read all the other books in this series so if you haven't read all the others- you are in for a treat -just waiting for the next book...

How I waited for this book, and what a great read it was.
All the characters are in full flow with more twists and turns yet again.
Kimberley, you are again at your absolute best and I can't wait for the next one.
Of course, it goes without saying that Annie Aldington is simply the best narrator for this genre of book!
