Deadly Betrayal by OMJ Ryan | Book Review
OMJ Ryan proves that a series can only get better with every installment. Deadly Betrayal was his most addictive outing so far. Travelling these pages is akin to walking along a tightrope. The fab four are back, they are more human than ever, with the fragility of the human condition pulsing at the forefront, demanding attention. Ryan tore up the rulebook and catapulted his readers into the deep underbelly of Hong Kong and how the two countries intermingle in a frenzy before a finale that is likely to have you on edge. The DI Jane Phillips series always feels like a homecoming, its became my favourite crime series by far.…

The Whispers by Heidi Perks | Book Review
Whispers is a poignant but brutal slashing to chest kind of read. A tale of manipulation, jealousy and control. In order to fully fall for a book, you to need to find something that really speaks to you. A book that draws out connections, a book that aches to be heard. It’s a book that knows how you as a reader, ticks. The ease and rawness that flows from out with the pages is like liquid gold – rare and stunning. Whispers has an addictive pull that ties you down and won’t let go until the last sentence has seeped into your pores…chores be damned! This story excels in taking…

A Killer’s Daughter by Jenna Kernan | Review
A Killer’s Daughter was a very interesting read, and it was certainly unique. In fact, I don’t think I’ve read a plot from the child of a serial killer’s perspective before. First, I want to talk a little about what just didn’t work for me personally. The beginning of the novel started a bit quizzically. It felt very dark and I suddenly began to question just how the events were going to play out. I was confused at times to how all this was going to impact the protagonist, Dr Nadine Finch. There was a lot of repetition of past events, I’m sure it only need to be mentioned once…

Tick Tock by Mel Sherratt | Review
Tick Tock was everything it promised…raw, gritty, and undeniably electric. I’ve had this book on my TBR for a while now, regrettably it has taken me a while to get around to it, but I will be continuing with this series with haste. If you love strong independent female detectives that are served with humanistic flaws, then this is going to be right up your alley. A story with a chilling narrative, it made me look over my shoulder constantly whilst reading it. Mel Sherratt, has an amazing skill at drawing you in, constantly whispering closer, closer. You keep edging closer even though you know it might mean your doom. …

Their Silent Graves by Carla Kovach | Review
Their Silent Graves is a book published by bookouture…that meant I was in! if I had a checklist of elements that made an exceptional police procedural read then this book would have been ticked to death. A story that has the reader on the edge of the edge of their seat and considering walking anywhere but through the woods. If you are looking for a novel that will whittle away the hours, then you’ve come to the right place. Their Silent Graves is the seventh book released in the DI Gina Harte series. It’s the first one that I’ve picked up but didn’t feel that I was missing great chunks…

Mirrorland by Carole Johnstone | ARC Review
Mirrorland…first that cover told me about all the blows it would deliver. It’s dark, it’s intimidating and the abyss you’re staring at? Yeah, it’s going to pull you all the way under. Not going to lie, I always wished I had a sister, but a twin sister? Shouldn’t that just come with a health warning, plain and simple? Your sense of identity is shrouded around being part of a pair. Mothers of twins the world over tend to dress them the same, do their hair the same and treat them the same. How to you break free when your treated as half of a whole? The first chapter of Mirrorland…
