For me, this book was much anticipated and did not disappoint. Deserves a 5 star in my opinion as I really love this detective series about Imogen and Adrian. We're onto book 7 in the series and we are all settled in well getting to know them both and following their own personal lives as well as a different police case each time.

Adrian has drifted off on another path away from being a detective (which I won't reveal why) but still his new line of work gets him in the radar of Imogen's team and so the race is on to get Adrian out of prison and get the real culprits in prison.

Genius to bring back a much loved character into the storyline and sounds like he'll return in book 8. Yay

The case for Imogen this time is an abduction and the ransom goes missing and involves a different family with their own troubles.

If you haven't tried this series, I really highly recommend that you do! Katerina Diamond is my absolute clear favourite author and the suspense is already killing me on where book 8 will take us.

This book has everything! It is well written, a brilliant multi-stranded plot and subtle characterization that creates empathy for all the characters particularly the main ones. I had read the early books in the Miles/ Grey series but somehow missed the last couple (too many good books to read!) While it didn’t matter as this works well as a stand alone, I have to read them, particularly the previous one where a difficult subject is probably treated with as much sensitivity as it is here. Love the way Katerina writes and the way the story flows. It is a police procedural but so much more. I recommend highly.
Thanks to Avon Books and NetGalley for an ARC in return for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

Miles and Grey are back!! This is the next book in the series that follows police officers Adrian Miles (actually, ex police officer) and Imogen Grey. They are also a couple, that haven’t been feeling very coupley recently. In the previous story we know that Adrian suffered a serious sexual assault when working his last case, and following the assault he made the decision to keep it away from Imogen and not tell her at all. In this instalment we see how distant Adrian has become in his relationship, and Imogen knows something is wrong. But, she has no time to worry about it when a young boy, Marcus, gets kidnapped from outside his home. But the kidnappers didn’t bank on a member of the public, who was committing a crime at the time, to watch the whole thing and take pictures. Imogen knows she doesn’t have much time if she wants to find the kidnappers and the missing child.

I feel like I have waited years for the next instalment of one of my favourite book series. I love this series, I love the writing, and I love the characters. Reading these books feels like going back and seeing family. The characters are extremely well written, and relatable. I love Imogen’s bravery and confidence, and I love Adrian’s dry humour and wit. Every book from this author offers everything you could wish from a police procedural story: emotion, humour, a gritty storyline, strong characters, red herrings, twists and turns, and endings that won’t see coming. I can’t wait for the next one!!

I loved this book, i cant believe its no. 7 in the series as how well written and gripping it is you'd think it was book 1! love the characters, never guessed and it hade gripped from page one till the end and lefte craving book 8, please say there is a book 8 I can't live without imogen and Adrian!! as well as Dean and now Webb and jarvis!!!, wish it be made into a series on TV too!!!, big fan!!!

I’m a massive Katerina Diamond fan, but It’s been a while since I read the last book in the series and I had forgotten about Adrian’s ordeal in the last book. Trick or Treat starts where The Woman in the Water finishes. Adrian Miles has left the police force and is working for a security firm. Imogen is working with a new partner and investigating the kidnapping of a six-year old boy.
As you would expect from this author the plot romps along with plenty of twists and turns. The characters are totally believable - a face from the past even reappears to help Adrian. Brilliant book that I thoroughly enjoyed.

I was so excited when I saw the 7th book in the DS Imogen Grey series was available on netgalley! Six year old Marcus is abducted from outside his house on Halloween and Imogen and her team race against the clock to find him. I really enjoyed this book and although I guessed who was behind it fairly early on that doesn’t detract from the book as there is so much going on and a few different story threads.
I have loved this series and can never put these books down! They’re fast paced, full of suspense and Imogen and Luke are both such great characters. Book 6 was a tough read in places with a trigger warning for rape. Book 7 obviously follows on from this story line but it is so very well handled and written. It is hard to read at times but there were also some big sigh of relief moments (especially when a certain previous character makes a well timed appearance 🤐). Katerina diamond has smashed it again and keeps me wanting to read more! Thanks to avon publishing and netgalley for the advance copy!

Treat or treat by Katerina Diamond was one of my most anticipated reads for 2021, I was absolutely buzzing to get It as an ARC! so excited that I got approved, started and fished in the same day!

This book follows DS Imogen Grey as she tries to discover who is behind the kidnapping of a child on Halloween, helping the parents with ransom to try get their little boy back safely.
It also follows Adrian (former DS Adrian Miles) as he is on his own personal mission to find someone.

There was so much going on and alot to keep track of, I was HOOKED! I smiled, I cried and I was shocked. As I’ve read the whole series I feel such an attachment to the characters!
Each book is a different crime so they can be read as standalone however I’ve loved reading them in order which helped to get a better understanding of their personal lives and interlinking characters back stories

I LOVED this book!
It's an amazing story, I just couldn't put it down, it got me hooked since the first page. It's fast-paced and it goes to the point, doesn't waste time in unnecessary details, and it keeps you always wanting more!
I just recently discovered this book is part of a series, which I just added to my TBR. This book is amazing as a standalone. Very well written, It has many amazing twists and in the end, it all connects. Katerina Diamond really shows her talent on every single page.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and author for this amazing ARC.

Can't say enough good things. You will find yourself rushing to get to the bottom this masterpiece. You will definitely be willing to give up sleep to get through this story. From the 1st chapter it will have you gripped

This was my first Katerina Diamond novel and certainly won't be my last.

Here we have the disappearance of Marcus on Halloween, taken by two men in a white van and witnessed by a young man who was also in the midst of committing a crime.

DS Imogen Grey is called upon to investigate without the help of Adrian Miles who has now left the police force (I won't discuss that part further in case some haven't read the previous novels).

Around halfway through the book, we come to understand what happened and the story continues as Grey attempts to get her man (or woman). This was an interesting ploy from Diamond, not to keep the final reveal until the last few pages or try and catch the reader out with a twist. I think it worked here and Diamond pulled it off.

What I think really made this novel though was the story of Adrian Miles as he attempts to come to terms with what happened to him in the previous novel. Such was his despair and torment I actually don't think I could go back and read the previous book as I am not sure I could cope with reading something like that. That's not a criticism of Diamond, in fact it is praise of how well she has written the character of Adrian.

Given the ending I am so keen for the next book to come out and can't wait to read it. Thanks to Avon Publishing and Netgalley for an advance review copy of the novel in exchange for an honest review

Trick or treat? Well this was definitely a treat getting my hands on this wonderful novel. Trick or Treat by, Katerina Diamond. This is a real good thriller. Who kidnapped Marcus? Will they find him alive? Gripped from chapter 1 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the 7th book in this series but can be read as a stand alone. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I really liked it. It did refer to characters that were in previous books but I was able to figure out their places within the story with no problem. A very sensitive event that took place in a previous book is rather upsetting but is handled beautifully.

This is one of the better books in the story of Imogen and Adrian. Although Adrian has left the police, Imogen is still working hard. When a young boy is kidnapped and a ransom demand is made it is up to Imogen to find him. Adrian is still struggling from a previous attack on him and he is desperate to find out who attacked him. Some good interweaving of people and stories.

I have tried to get into her books in the past and haven't been successful. The covers are always so pretty! I had such a hard time getting this to download correctly, that I just lost interest by the time it worked. I tried to reach some, ended up skimming, and giving up.

This was the first book I’ve read by Katerina Diamond, but it won’t be my last! Well developed characters drive a concise, twisted plot! This book or series, would make for a great Netflix series.

Another well crafted plot with twists upto the conclusion to keep the reader glued to the book. The team chemistry is working well with equal inputs from everyone. As a former detective Adrian should have been portrayed as someone with more mental grits rather than a whimpering victim. A good addition to the series.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was so ridiculously good. I ended up finishing it in two sittings. Absolutely gripping from page 1 and it just didnt let up until the very end. Bring on book 8.

I have read everything Katerina Diamond has written and punished. I loved every book. This series with Miles and Grey has been amazing from the very first book. I did struggle with the last book about the assault on Miles, but I also respect the fact that Katerina just wants to write about real life struggles.
This book is so well put together, the characters, old and new, work together to answer many of the questions from the last books, but the book also has a very clear plot of its own.
A kidnapping, murder, prison, false identities and hidden evidence- what more could you want from a plot?
I’ve really enjoyed reading this book as a review copy before it was publish- thanks to netgalley- and I would totally recommend this whole series if you like a twisted, real life thriller. Be prepared, these books are chilling.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. A young boy is kidnapped on Halloween in a quiet street. Detective Imogen I job is to find the boy before its too late. This book kept me guessing.

I would like to thank the author, the publisher and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of this book. This is book 7 in the series and they just keep getting better and better, it drew me in from the first page and didn't let go until the last page. A definite must read.
