Book Review: The Good Mother by Cathryn Grant
Welcome to the blog and I have a real treat for you – It’s my blog tour spot and I’m happy to be bringing my book review of this brilliant domestic thriller, The Good Mother. The Good Mother is a stark warning that we can all become products of our past. The past can haunt us, and it can keep tiptoeing back into our lives. Is it ever possible to bury the past? This premise is one that sends chills down my spine. Can darkness seep its way into Pleasantville? The characters seem to have the perfect life, the perfect husbands and children but what darkness threatens to tip the…

Tales of Unexplained Mystery by Steph Young
Review that moment when you receive a review request and it turns out to be just what your black soul had needed. This book turned out to be all that more. It just turned out to be the catalyst of great big emotions. This book capitulates everything mystery. The title brings it to life, gives it purpose and will have you questioning every little news report you ever recall seeing or hearing. Is its clear cut? Is something deeper and more sinister at play? The book is a creeping shadow, threatening to jump out of the pages and swallow you whole. Read on for my book review. Each individual story…

ARC Book Review: Inside by D.M. Siciliano
I hope you are all ready to sit in the corner and rock your way through this review. Inside, looked like the poster for the latest horror movie – this apt title hides the deeper meaning to the story. Huge revelations, relationships pulled so taut that they threaten to snap. This book has you standing on the precipice of hell, the flames threatening to lick at your heels, the heat seducing you within. A house is just bricks and mortar, right? Ha! the house was built with the devils’ hands, each brick more evil than the last. The house embodies a threatening shadow using your fears to destroy and weaken…

Who’s There? by Kerena Swan @BOTBSPublicity
Thank you to Sarah for my spot on the blog tour. All thoughts are my own and unbiased. How many times did our parents tell us never to talk to strangers? If your parents were anything like mine, it was too many times to count. This is the main theme at play in Who’s There? This is just easier said and done for a character like Arnold Eastwood, a naturally trusting young man with Downs Syndrome. He dreams of having his own independence after years living and relying on his mother. He knows he can do it. He wants to do it. The time has come, he has been offered…

Review: I Confess by Alex Barclay
Thank you to the publisher for a e-copy of the book. All thoughts are my own and unbiased. When I started I confess, it felt like reading someone’s diary. It felt sneaky, it felt private and most of all it gave me a first-class ticket on someone’s personal ride to hell. There was a deep undercurrent of evil fizzling through the story, threatening to snap up to the surface, making its presence known, jolting everyone back to the past. You just knew that something sinister was going to invade everyone’s space. The cover sent a chill down my spine. A reunion, seven friends…what could go wrong? Seven friends reunite, and…

Blog Tour: Silent Winter by Maggie James
Thank you to Sarah @ Book On The Brightside book tours for my spot on the blog tour. Usually reviewers find it extremely hard to review a book that they truly love…This is especially true for Silent Winter. This book in essence is summed up by the phrase the sins of the father. Silence is dangerous, silence is deadly, and silence can be a weapon. The first chapter ensured that I kept reading. As far as a bookworm is concerned it was crack. I was addicted, I was focussed, and I knew I was in for the long haul. Maggie James kept me searching for that next hit. I was…
