![]() ![]() His ability to differentiate the characters through their various voices and accents is simply first class, and he is entirely consistent, even across books. Dan’s narration of each of the books brings the characters to life. ![]() ‘Ash’ happens to be based in the area of the UK where I was brought up, The accents are spot on, and Ash supports what used to be my local football team (lol). Despite the new characters, it’s not a stand-alone, I strongly recommend you read the first part of the series first so you can go straight into book 5. ![]() It is as dark, gritty and powerful as the earlier books, and just as painful in places - especially the cliffhanger ending. This is a prequel to book 5 in the Don’t series and introduces some new characters with their back stories. Their world can be a brutal place, but with flashes of light, humour and tough love, the relationships between them and with the other characters are carefully and skilfully created, built and moulded by the oh-so-talented author. I am in love with Gray, Jack and Jan, and my heart soars and breaks for them as their stories are revealed. ![]() It can be hard to read in parts, Jack L Pyke doesn’t gloss over gore, torture or mental and physical impacts, but the graphic nature, and the protagonist’s reactions, are what bring the characters so vividly to life. The whole Don’t series is amazing, a complex and convoluted thriller with a very dirty side (in every sense of the word). ![]()
