Daughters of Darkness by Derwin et al | Book Review
I’m going to put all my cards on the table – Women in horror are nailing the genre with a razor-sharp cleaver right now. Daughters of Darkness was an anthology that was read quickly and with ease. The authors created characters that I had instant connections with, characters that I loved to hate, and these women are consummate storytellers that bridged the gap and allowed me to walk straight into their worlds. The authors that contributed are ones that I will always read, in fact I have purchased anthologies containing these authors and I have never been disappointed. Theresa Derwin knows how to deliver a short sharp shock with her…

The Nurse by J.A. Corrigan | Blog Tour Review
J.A. Corrigan is just one of those authors that just command your attention. The Nurse is a testament to her skill. Immediately upon putting it down I knew it had a compulsive energy to it. Think Nurse Ratchet vs Silence of the Lambs. Her characterisation is a crescendo to the senses. The validity, the moral dilemmas and the utter humanness leaves you in awe with the realism. My introduction to this author’s work has left me salivating for more and I can’t wait to try more of her delights. The Nurse is a book that I fell for because of the blurb! The cover stopped me in my tracks, but…

Both of You by Adele Parks | Book Review
Wow. I went into Both of You blind, and boy am I glad I did. I thought it was going to be another psychological thriller that I would anticipate the twists and turns…I was wrong. I needed to dig further, examine everything closer, be prepared to have my mind peeled apart. This story has the capability of encasing your heart in ice, its harrowing and captivating and pushes ice cold water through your veins. Be prepared for the author to give you a remarkably unique journey through your worst fears and leave you rocking in the corner by the closing of the final page. Both of You investigates the disappearance…

The Perfect Lie by Jo Spain | Book Review
The Perfect Lie started off with a bang. Holy hell, I quite frankly had to put my kindle down for about ten minutes so I could catch my breath. Its been a long time since an opening chapter has absolutely blew my mind. I love impactful openings, and this really did kick it up a notch. Erin moved to the US from Ireland after the death of her sister. She didn’t expect to fall in love with her perfect match, Danny. They marry and everything is fairytale perfect until that fateful day that she won’t ever forget. Danny is a detective in Homicide in New York City. He’s been working…

Her Last Holiday by C.L. Taylor | Book Review
Her Last Holiday was a book I was so excited to read. I have read a few C.L. Taylor books prior to this and I have always found her writing engaging and addictive but there was something missing from this outing. I think it stems from the fact that any logical reader must suspend disbelief at an astronomical level. It was a highly imaginative story that ended up just being to much for me to swallow. I love stories that are intriguing with a mystery that allows me to join the dots, if you are like me this probably isn’t the book for you. Her Last Holiday is a story…
