    Psychological Thriller

    The Islanders by S.V. Leonard | Blog Tour Review

    March 7, 2021 /

    Damn if a trapped, suspenseful mystery doesn’t just tap into that inner flight or fight response.  The Islanders delivers on everything it says it does.  Think Love Island with the ultimate twist.  A horrifying and bloody twist.  The two shows are different but standing up together in proximity, they are created from the same primordial soup that humanity crawled from.  A desire to escape from life, a hint of romance distanced from everyday life and some hot hot sun.  S.V. Leonard plays with fire and peels back the layers of human emotion and greed.  This debut will have you rushing through the pages in a race to the end. The…

    The Cousins by Karen M. McManus | Blog Tour Review

    December 5, 2020 /

    Today I’m happy to be a part of The Write Reads Ultimate blog tour for the highly anticipated, The Cousins by Karen M. McManus.  Now, for a reader to be sucked into an author’s writing style, their narrative, they need the X-factor.  Something that allows them to keep coming back…book after book.  Karen M. McManus is no exception.  There are so many reasons why I keep coming back for more with her stories.  The air of mystery, the journey and most of all the care that is given to keep loyal readers.  The Cousins is a story that is reminiscent of the I know what you did last summer trope. …

    Devoted by Dean Koontz | Review

    November 14, 2020 /

    Devoted was a hard book to read in places.  It was mostly successful in the theme of genetic mutation.  I really enjoy Dean Koontz books but, in this occasion,  it was neither a favourite or one that I disliked.  It’s very much a book that gets very strange, very quickly.  It’s a case of constantly reminding yourself that this is SCI-FI.  I’ve noticed other reviewers likening it to Koontz’ other work – The Watchers, which I haven’t read, not sure if that is to my detriment or not?  The book to me, felt like it just moved too slowly, and I did feel myself getting bored. The story in Devoted…

    The Perfect Couple by Jackie Kabler | Review

    October 4, 2020 /

    The Perfect Couple – always beware any book title that has perfect in it.  Nine times out of ten it is anything but perfect.  Gemma and Danny have the perfect life, the perfect jobs, and the perfect friends.  Nothing and no-one are perfect, and Danny and Gemma are no exception.  Gemma is a freelance journalist and Danny works in IT.  Life is sweet, that is until Gemma goes on a business trip and comes home to no chilled prosecco, no dinner cooking, and no Danny.  Initially Gemma thinks he’s been held late at work but the hours tick by and still there’s no Danny.  She is finally forced to report…

    Keep Him Close by Emily Koch | Review

    August 29, 2020 /

    Keep Him Close follows the story of two mothers.  Two mothers who have lost something incredibly close to them.  Grief can take many forms and both essentially aching from the pit of despair.  A longing that sits like rocks at the pit of the stomach.  A pain that they both need to learn to deal with.  We are taken on a journey of two women’s interweaving connection and a path crossed takes them both on trip of self-discovery and forgiveness.  One mother has lost her son and one has admitted to killing him, a friendship found in the strangest of places. You really don’t have the chance to breathe in…
