Deadly Vengeance by OMJ Ryan|Blog Tour
It’s safe to say that I never hesitate or falter when I see a new book released by OMJ Ryan in The Jane Phillips series – Deadly Vengeance continued the upward trend and didn’t disappoint. Deadly Vengeance has just cemented the notion that OMJ Ryan is now slotted in on my go-to-author list. This series just gets better and better. The drama, the non-stop action, the pace and the narrative that is always as sharp as a stiletto just has me coming back for more. What can I say, it’s like a drug. If you want a feel for how his other books had me hooked, check out my reviews…

Neon by G.S. Locke | Blog Tour
Anyone that has stuck around this blog for any length of time knows that I’m an avid reader of psychological thriller but when a serious crime element is thrown in for good measure, you know I’m anyone’s. It wasn’t necessarily the twist that I was waiting for that made Neon so good but the devilishly dark narrative that the plot took on from the very first page. Not only is the death of a spouse a traumatic event, but for it to have been a targeted attack by the man you are actively investigating is a blow professionally and personally. I greedily accepted the blog tour invitation for Neon like…

Review|Where Secrets Lie (DS Karen Hart #2) By D.S. Butler
D.S. Butler is most definitely one of those authors who just command your attention. Where Secrets Lie is a testament to her skill. I ended up picking up this novel on a whim, and boy am I glad I did. Her characterisation is a crescendo to the senses. The validity, the moral dilemmas and the utter humanness leaves you in awe with the realism. These characters could be members of your own family, work colleagues or neighbours. My introduction to this series has left me aching for more and I’m looking forward to the next available moment I must delve into this remarkable series. DC Karen Hart has a history. …

Review|Your House Will Pay by Steph Cha
Your House Will Pay everyone needs to read. It opens a much-needed conversation about racism and cultural appropriation. Truth be told I went into this book with extremely high expectations and thankfully I wasn’t left disappointed. The sheer impact it left upon me gave me chills. The author has taken the very real story of a shooting of a black girl, Latasha Harlins in 1991. It left me feeling bereft and tearful and rendered me utterly speechless. Steph Cha has taken the well acknowledged thriller concoction, remastered and reengineered it and used it as a tool to make the reader glaringly aware of the very real cracks and fractures in…
