This book was simply a WOW for me. I loved everything about this book. I found myself racing through this unable to drag myself away. When you reach for this book, you can expect a gripping tale that is guaranteed to keep you transfixed as you flip through the pages. Imagine heading off for an interview for your dream job, situated in a beautiful, modern building late on a Friday afternoon, only to discover that this interview is not exactly what you expected. You are faced with questions that have life or death consequences.

C M Ewan is another “new-to-me” author. I enjoyed this book so much that I did a little online shopping late at night as soon as I closed this book. The author manages to draw you into the story very quickly and leaves you holding your breath as you race to reach the end. I found myself completely engrossed. I loved the characters and found the storyline to be unique. This book is full of suspense, and I found myself feeling Kate’s emotions. The Interview is a gripping, edge of your seat read that grabs hold of you immediately and never leaves you a moment to catch your breath.

Kate is called to an interview for a PR position at Edge Communication late on a Friday afternoon. This position will provide her with the challenge she needs and is guaranteed to keep her busy, which is exactly what Kate needs.

When she arrives for her appointment, she is informed that there has been a change; she will not be interviewed by Amanda Palmer as arranged, a man named Joel White will be conducting the interview. This immediately leaves Kate a little back footed. Being shown into a glass cube, located in the centre of an open-plan office, with the door closed and only the good-looking Joel White in front of her, Kate is quickly rattled. However, when the questions become increasingly personal, and Joel stops being polite and friendly Kate feels something is not right. Her discomfort intensifies when she finds that they are all alone, all the other employees have left and Joel is extremely intense. How badly does she want this job? Kate finds that this interview is about more than a job. If she refuses to answer his questions, what will the consequences be?

This was a book I managed to get lost in. It did not have a single dull moment. I found myself eagerly flipping the pages curious to find out where this story was headed. The more that was revealed, the more I wanted to know. This is a clever, creative tale with a twist at the end I never saw coming. Poor Kate was left to face one surprise after the other.

Kate Harding is a woman who crawls into your heart as you flip these pages. This once strong, well balanced young woman knew exactly where she was going. However, after tragedy strikes, her world is shattered and she is left broken. When she finally has to courage to attempt rebuilding her life, she is faced with the worst possible situation and discovers how much in the dark she has been for the last fifteen months. The author did a fabulous job sharing Kate’s emotions. I found myself sharing her sadness, fear, anger and determination from page to page. I loved this woman.

This book is a five-star read which I cannot recommend highly enough. No doubt, The Interview is my book of the month for February – (I don’t normally give that away before posting my wrap up article – but this book is brilliant!)

Thriller fans, brace yourselves – this book will swallow you whole. You are going to be holding your breath from start to finish and loving every minute. Do not miss out, add this title to your TBR – C M Ewan will leave you WOW’ED with this one.
