Mile High

This was a very interesting read. It's my first ever Rebecca Chance, and I know she's super popular with other readers and I can sort of see why. Mile High is a ridiculously long read (it took me 6 hours, or thereabouts) and for the most part it kept me gripped throughout. I did want a little bit more action- when you're promised a ten-hour flight and a stalker who's desperate to get what they want, you kind of expect a lot more action and tension. But we actually rarely heard from the stalker, which made me sad. If we'd go to know their thought processes a bit more, it would have ratcheted up the tension hugely. I actually had no idea who the stalker was, and I changed my mind more times than I care to admit over who I thought it was.

I absolutely loved that the novel was set mostly on a plane. That was amazing, such a good concept and so well written. Why no other author has ever done that, that I know of, is quite a surprise because there's a lot of scope there, especially when it's a plane with as much hype as the PureAir LuxeLiner plane with all the celebs and gossip and scandal.

It was a bit of a slower read than I expected, at times (which if there'd been more tension and it'd had a bit more psychological thriller to it would have sped it up), but it definitely kept me hooked. All the different strands of the story were so interesting and you just never knew which characters to actually like, except Latisha and Cat. Apart from that, I was suspicious of the lot of them - the cabin crew, the other celebs, all of them!!!!
