My thoughts

My thanks to the Publishers via NetGalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review. I gave this a 5 stars or 10/10.

Whilst, I was reading this story I had visions or thoughts that I knew which way it was going. How wrong could I have been? Obviously, I was very wrong as it didn't go where I was expecting it to.

Belinda Bauer has a way of engaging with the reader. Her writing style draws you in to the lives of her characters. Felix Pink is an elderly gentleman, he is an Exiteer. The Exiteers are a group of people whose aim in life is to help others at a time in their lives, when they sometimes want to take fate into their own hands.

Sadly, for Felix things take a turn for the unexpected one day and as a result he finds himself on the run from the Police. As events unfold, Felix begins to realise that all was not as he thought and he tries to find out where things went wrong this time. Can Felix stay ahead of the law, while trying to work out what went wrong?

This was a great story that kept me guessing, as I mentioned earlier I had my thoughts on where this was going, but it surprised me and took me on a completely different journey with Felix and his associates than I had expected.

I loved the premise of the story and the fact that it surprised me completely.
