    Psychological Thriller

    The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins | Blog Tour Review

    January 10, 2021 /

    The Wife Upstairs is an absolutely stonker of a Jane Eyre retelling.  Compulsive, enthralling but be prepared with that body armour because you are going to need it! Tragic and astounding.  The story immediately calls for audience participation.  You want to jump into the book and knock some sense into a lot of people but that is what’s just brilliant about this story.  This story is an escape, it made realise just how boring and dull my everyday life is.  Dependable husband.  Three kids.  Nice house.  Quiet.  Something that the protagonist of the story has dreamed of her entire life.  The Wife Upstairs had everything that I adore about mystery…

    Strangers by C.L. Taylor | Review

    September 1, 2020 /

    How to describe a stranger?  Someone you’ve yet to meet.  Do they wish you ill harm or are they a person who lives along the same confines and laws as you?  Strangers is three stories that interweaved with each other’s.  A calming hand in a storm of pain? What do these three stories have in common – compassion, understanding an humility. Our three main protagonists Ursula, Gareth and Alice are lost souls swimming in a sea of pain and desperation.  They are jaded with life – they’ve all been handed a shitty hand of cards.  Divorce and cheating, death of a loved one and caring responsibilities has these characters looking…

    The House We Grew Up In by Lisa Jewell | Review

    August 25, 2020 /

    The House We Grew Up In.   A perfect starting bullet for discussion.  Do you remember yours?  Was it a happy home, full of laughter and fond memories?  Lisa Jewell introduces us to the concept that looks can be deceiving.  Everything can appear to be magnificent and charming on the outside but behind closed doors secrets can harbour and fester.  Even our memories can appear hazy, are they to be trusted?  An atmosphere seeped in darkness, tragedy that alters the course for everyone and a compulsion that could kill.  Jewell makes us understand frustrations, how hoarding is as much an addiction as alcoholism and just how it spirals out of control. …

    The End Of Her by Shari Lapena|Blog Tour

    July 21, 2020 /

    A blog tour invitation for a Shari Lapena book is going to be an automatic yes, and The End Of Her was no different.  I don’t think I even read the synopsis properly before emailing back.  Some might think that was odd but knowing this author, I knew she would deliver and quite frankly I was in safe hands.  A sleep deprived mother already feeling on edge.  A face from the past.  Accusations that could have very serious implications for Stephanie and Patrick.  We have a knifes edge amount of tension and the plot has a rubix’s cube level of intricacy that made my brain hurt.  A woman from Patricks…

    Review| My Dark Vanessa By Kate Elizabeth Russell

    June 18, 2020 /

    My Dark Vanessa.   Rumours or truth?  Have you inadvertently helped to spread one?  Just how much truth is it seeped in them? It’s a tale of disturbing manipulation and sexual abuse.  It poses an intriguing narrative on whether home life situations alter our decision making and our ability to see something so inherently dangerous we would speak up.  I wanted to love this book so much more than I did, I love dark tales and this should have been like a shot to the jugular – it just felt like it was stretched out beyond the realms of possibility.  Hide all you want, the truth will always find you. Regardless…

    Review: The Dilemma by B.A. Paris

    April 24, 2020 /

    The Dilemma.  To tell someone something that will not only shatter one world, but many.  What more could you possibly want in a psychological thriller?  My attention was immediately stolen.  I was hungering for the words contained in this explosive novel.  I particularly enjoyed the element of older characters being in the forefront.  There unique take on life, their emotions and their reactions when they are faced with the explosive ramifications that life can throw at you.  I was deeply curious to see how the author would weave a highly addictive plot that would have me hooked by the end of the first chapter.  I cant applaud B.A. Paris enough…
