Once I started reading, I really didn’t want to stop. I adored every second of this breathtaking ride and while desperate to know the ending, didn’t want the last page to come! ‘Movers’ is quite simply fabulous and a must have, must read book.

If you’re looking for a gentle, relaxing read, this isn’t it. Movers starts with a bang (literally) and continues at record pace until the very last word.

Thrilling and cinematic

A captivating world… Movers has cinematic appeal that fans of Rick Yancey’s The 5th Wave and Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games will adore.
