I have been so excited to read this one after seeing so many amazing reviews, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Nine Lives involves a list with nine names on it. Every person on that list is marked for death, and they all get sent a copy to their homes. As people start being killed there is a race to try and find out what they have in common, and who is behind this.

My favourite thing about this book was the structure! I loved that it was separated into sections counting down from 9. I also loved that we saw the perspectives of different characters. There is such a large number of characters in this book that I felt the different perspectives helped to add a much needed depth. Initially I did have to keep flicking back to the character list to follow who was who. But my main issue with the characters is that because there was so many, I didn’t end up connecting with all of them. I did however end up loving Ethan, Caroline and Jessica. I also would have loved to have seem more of Detective Sam, he had so much potential!

The chapters were really short which helped to keep the pace up! I loved the nods to popular culture and books! Even though I adore Agatha Christie, I haven’t actually read And Then There Were None yet, but I have now been inspired to grab it from my tbr pile as soon as possible! I did find things slowed for me at the end, but I really enjoyed one final twist that I just did not see coming. I felt this was a very inventive and enticing book, I can’t wait to read more by this author.

I would recommend this to thriller fans who enjoy books with multiple points of view!
