The Inheritance by Samantha Hayes
The Inheritance is a twisty, by-the-seat-of-your-pants read. There’s no denying that I love Samantha Hayes’ writing. She creates stories that leave you with heart palpitations and nerves that take hours to settle back to normal. My first experience with this was when I picked up ‘Until You’re Mine’ in 2014. I was blown away at the time, and it thrills me to see that she is still delivering twisty tales in 2023. ‘The Inheritance’ is no exception, with a plethora of twists and turns that keep you guessing. Her writing is so captivating and her stories so suspenseful that you cannot help but be drawn in, and the ending will…

The Vile Thing we Created by Robert P. Ottone
The Vile Thing We Created is a book that doesn’t take any prisoners, leave hope all who enter here type vibes. Writing of the charts, Ottone makes think, feel and despair. The Vile Thing We Created. Wow, just what can I say? It’s like an orgy between The Omen, Orphan and Insidious. I’m so glad I didn’t overlook this novel because it made me feel so many emotions. Hard hitting themes like postpartum depression, nearly ruined me, a topic close to my heart but handled with the utmost care and tact. The title was totally out there but it made so much sense, it gave me goosebumps. Did I enjoy…

I Know Who You Are by Alice Feeney
I Know Who You Are is a intricately crafted story of deceit and betrayal. It delivers an important message at its heart – never be as trusting as your heart wants to be. Darkly sinister and a level of unease that kept me rooted to the spot. Some novels were just written so that they make there way to you just at the right time. I Know Who You Are is just one of those novels. I’ve been stuck in a bit of a rut for a few weeks now. I’ve been reading but nothing was particularly hitting the mark. I needed drama, I needed action, I needed a good…

Here to Stay by Mark Edwards
Here to Stay is another example of why Mark Edwards is one of the most prolific mystery writers of our time. Any writer that wants to learn the art of the twist should spend time reading his novels. Well, I thought that my husband had the worst in-laws possible but maybe I was wrong! Here to Stay is a cautionary tale about never letting your in-laws come to stay. They’ll get their feet under the table, all cosy and relaxed, and the next thing you’ll know they’ll be looking at furniture in Ikea and redecorating your sitting room. Just the thought of it brought chills down my spine. Here to…

One Night With the Duke by Jodi Ellen Malpas – REVIEW
One Night with the Duke dazzled with a wholly modern heroine with intensity and wit. Jodie Ellen Malpas proves once again why she has her finger on the pulse of engaging romance stories – she is a genre-busting Cameleon. It’s been so long since I read a book by Jodi Ellen Malpas. The last being the This Man series. Now…don’t come for me but I daren’t read her other series’ mainly because I didn’t think anything could surpass the perfection of Jesse Ward. I will change that after reading her new release, One Night with the Duke. Now, this isn’t generally my preferred genre of romance, I haven’t read any…

One Good Lie by Jane Isaac | Blog Tour Review
When this book landed on my kindle I just had that deep instinctual knowledge that this was going to be my kind of book. The relationship between siblings is a deep and complicated one. We have this passed down expectation that we should be close with them but don’t look away too quickly because sibling rivalry will soon be skipping down the corridors of the mind. The blurb had me searching for clues, is there something hidden in plain sight? Is a shadow creeping at the very edge of your vision? This stand-alone thriller was everything I needed at precisely the right time. One Good Lie had a strong opening…
