REVIEW – The House on Rectory Lane by Stuart James
The House on Rectory Lane epitomises that adage – The Grass isn’t always greener on the other side. The shades of darkness are painted on the walls, you just have to look that bit closer to see all the shades of horror. Upon opening the door to the house on Rectory Lane you can feel the suffocating and addictive stench of potential destruction. The story is a revelation, the author leaving a lasting impression of how great storytelling can leave you gasping for air. I plan on reading James’ back catalogue, but the expectations are now high… Jake and Kate want to escape the rat race of London. They are…

Review: Lie With Me by Sabine Durrant
Lie With Me is a story of comeuppance, unrequited love, and pain. The protagonist, Paul thinks he is God's gift to women. He treats them abhorrently, wham, bam, and thank you, ma'am, is his life’s motto. He doesn’t think about how his actions affect the women he uses and only thinks about how they can help him.

Wow. I went into Both of You blind, and boy am I glad I did. I thought it was going to be another psychological thriller that I would anticipate the twists and turns…I was wrong.

Both of You investigates the disappearance…

The Perfect Lie by Jo Spain | Book Review
The Perfect Lie started off with a bang. Holy hell, I quite frankly had to put my kindle down for about ten minutes so I could catch my breath. Its been a long time since an opening chapter has absolutely blew my mind. I love impactful openings, and this really did kick it up a notch. Erin moved to the US from Ireland after the death of her sister. She didn’t expect to fall in love with her perfect match, Danny. They marry and everything is fairytale perfect until that fateful day that she won’t ever forget. Danny is a detective in Homicide in New York City. He’s been working…

The Liar’s Daughter by Rona Halsall | Book Review
Well holy moly was this a ride and a half. The Liar’s Daughter was as I expected, swift and nerve splitting. Rona Halsall’s novels always get my heart racing, and her new release undoubtedly would be no different. A prologue that had me sweating bullets and asking questions without coming up for air. Paramedics arrive at a remote farm in North Wales, the women they attend to has had a severe knock to the head and is only just conscious. Its an injury that they doubt she has done to herself but she’s insistent. The only thing is, why can they hear someone else in the house? The title and…

The Dinner Guest by B.P. Walter | Book Review
The Dinner Guest was one novel that I gobbled up, in one serving! Just when you think you’ve read all there is in the thriller genre along comes this beauty and smacks you upside the head. The perfect couple trope on drugs. Uniqueness. An impending threat. Twists by the bucketload. If you think you have this one figured out be prepared for a grenade to literally blow your face to shreds. Walter lies in wait for the perfect moment then hits you straight between the eyes for a killer blow. Set in the super rich areas of London. It sets the scene. Things are about to be rocked to its…
