Review: Mad Hallelujah And Other Oddities by Owen Morgan
Mad Hallelujah and other Oddities is a work of literary genius. Have you ever wished your spouse away with a single word? How often have you seen a clump of hair stuck in the plug hole and pulled and been surprised by what lays beneath? Or a beautiful rose bush that signifies something far deeper and darker. Owen Morgan has delved feet first into topics that lay dormant in the back of our psyche and he has the key to unlock the cage to our darkest fears. He has made the unthinkable totally and utterly realistic. My favourite short story within the collection was either; Flower of Flesh and Blood…

Blog Tour: Cupidity by Lucinda Lamont – EXTRACT
Welcome to my stop for the blog tour, Cupidity by Lucinda Lamont. Thanks to Emma @ Damppebbles for spot on the tour. Those memories, for Martha, were to be just that. On April 22nd, 1943 life changed. It was one of those life events whereby people say you will never forget it, but it hadn’t been that way for her, she was already beginning to forget. It was one big blur, and that blur lasted for months. On April 22nd, she had been playing with Willy. She had not long bathed him. He was on his baby towel on the living room floor, and she was drying him off. Although…

Blog Tour: Silent Winter by Maggie James
Thank you to Sarah @ Book On The Brightside book tours for my spot on the blog tour. Usually reviewers find it extremely hard to review a book that they truly love…This is especially true for Silent Winter. This book in essence is summed up by the phrase the sins of the father. Silence is dangerous, silence is deadly, and silence can be a weapon. The first chapter ensured that I kept reading. As far as a bookworm is concerned it was crack. I was addicted, I was focussed, and I knew I was in for the long haul. Maggie James kept me searching for that next hit. I was…

Blog Tour: What Goes Around by Rachel Ellyn
Thanks to Emma @Damppebbles for my spot on the blogtour and a copy of the book. All my thoughts are my own. I think Alice represents what most women are feeling within a relationship. I think most of us can appreciate and connect with what she is feeling. She’s a relatable figure and she has our sympathy and camaraderie at witnessing her at her lowest point. The author tackles a serious topic and brings humour and a great story to boot. Witchy voodoo and retribution against a dick of a husband has me instantly hooked. Alice uses her wits to exact revenge on her ex-husband in the best possible way. …

A Debt Owed (The Debt Duet #1) by Clarissa Wild
She’s my hostage, someone I keep in a soft and velvety cage for my selfish needs. What would you do if you were forced to marry someone you didn’t love, but if you didn’t you would watch someone you love die. Charlotte is a tortured soul. All her life she has gone out of her way to try and please her father, to gain some kind of attention from him but he’s always just viewed her as an annoyance, someone he tolerates just because he has to. She’s been physically abused by him (at his own wedding no less) and now she has to save his sinking business by being…
