A dynamic, powerfully expressive novel that feels so real, you could be conjuring it to life as you read. Angel saves the life of English teacher Nina, later that night Angel turns from saviour to adversary when she and her blood soaked brother turn up at Nina’s door. Each chapter is headed by one of the main characters, they feel vividly real, almost touchable, and their pain and anguish sliced into my thoughts. Cass Green created an unexpected atmosphere as energetic whip-fast chapters gently, almost quietly revealed background information, which allowed my mind to process the action while sifting, analysing, questioning. Good and bad may be seen as opposites, yet there are times when lines and edges blur, creating a stimulating storyline that just crackles with tension. Don’t You Cry surprised me (which I always love) and left me feeling very satisfied indeed. Just make sure the edge of your seat is comfortable, as you’ll be spending a fair bit of time on it!

What an exciting book. Nina, Angel and Lucas meet in strange circumstances and the night they spend together is even odder. You will not be able to put this down until the end.

This is a story told between Nina, Angel and Lucas. Their meeting is quite extraordinary but it begins with Nina waiting in a restaurant for her blind date. As she feared, he is awful and she cannot get through the meeting fast enough. She is too polite to just leave.

Not wishing to prolong the evening she orders olives for herself and begins to choke. The quick-thinking waitress Angel performs the Heimlich Manoeuvre. She saves her life and changes it forever.

Nina is a mum to Sam and an English teacher at the local comprehensive. Recently left by her husband of 15 years, she is bereft to find that he is now living with a younger woman.

Having fallen asleep on the sofa, she hears and loud banging on her front door.... Read Full Review

A gripping novel that unravels as the characters grow. A real page turner!

This book follows Nina, a women looking to restart her life after her husband left. One night everything changes for her, after a chance encounter with a waitress called Angel. The story really begins when Angel arrives on her doorstep late one night. All is not as it seems though!

Without giving much away, a hostage situation occurs and things won't ever be the same for Nina when Angel's brother arrives at the house carrying a newborn baby and covered in blood.

A gripping novel and a real page-turner. Once you think you know what's happening more doors open to leave you guessing once again.

The characters in this book developed nicely over time and before you know it you realise you are warming to ones you didn't think you would.... Read Full Review

Cat Hogwood

Absolute page-turner. A brilliantly crafted thriller, that kept you guessing right to the end.

I absolutely loved this book! I haven’t read the author before but was very impressed.

Set in a quiet ‘middle England’ town, lives Nina, divorced mum of one, with her son Sam, who is away with his father and the new girlfriend in France. Thank God, because all hell is about to break loose at home!

I thought this story was well crafted, used lots of modern references, some so recent you just know it was written this year, which makes me think it will probably not stand the test of time, although who knows? Maybe kids will be studying it in 50 years and laughing at our ‘modern’ world.

I have to say I was hooked from the outset. I loved The main characters and empathised with them. I was, however, really disappointed with the ending.... Read Full Review
