Ok, so this is part 2 of my Best of 2015. You can catch part 1 HERE!!
In this post I’m only talking about book series. Once again, these are in no particular order!!
My Favourite Book Series of 2015
- Ragnar Jónasson’s Dark Iceland series.
The first two books are Snowblind (read my review HERE) and its follow-up Nightblind (read my 5 STAR review HERE). I loved both of these books, the latter just edges it for me though. One of my absolute favourites of the year. Orenda Books are on a publishing roll! 🙂
- LJ Ross DCI Ryan Series
Holy Island and Sycamore Gap are both superb reads. I love Louise’s writing style and they are both fantastic books. My review for Holy Island is HERE and my 5 STAR review for Sycamore Gap is HERE.
- Angela Marsons’ DI Kim Stone series
WOW! One of the only words I can use to describe these books. I devoured them one after another for Bookouture Thriller Week. Each book is brilliant in its own right, but I reviewed the three together in a triple decker revie. You can read my 3 x 5 STAR review for Silent Scream, Evil Games and Lost Girls HERE!
- Caroline Mitchell’s DC Jennifer Knight series
Bookouture have some great authors and books this year! I read both of these supernatural crime thriller books this year and thoroughly enjoyed them. Don’t Turn Around is a superb introduction to DC Knight and you can read my review HERE. The follow-up is Time To Die. This book was way creepier than the first, I likened it to Hitchcock’s The Birds, and you can read my 5 STAR review HERE.
- Mel Sherratt as Marcie Steele
These books aren’t a series, but I feel they have to get a mention as they are written by crime writer Mel Sherratt and they are chick lit. Not my usual genre at all, but I read and loved both Stirred with Love and That’s What Friends Are For (read my 5 STAR review HERE). Although not a series, I’m still including them!
Well, that’s part two finished with! Any standout reads for you this year?! 🙂
Kim Stone has to be the best of the year – three 5* reviews from me too!
They were fantastic! Loved them!

Sure I had 21 books! I couldn’t leave any out and when I was going through I realised some were series so got the idea then! 😉 x

Hi Kate, terrific lists!! Angela Marsons was 5 stars x 3 for me too. My next favorite series was Stacy Green’s 4 book Lucy Kendall series–outstanding! Have you read any of those?
