    Keeper by Jessica Moor | Review

    July 25, 2020 /

    Keeper was one of those books that had the premise of being outstanding, but it didn’t work for me for several different reasons.  Firstly, the characterisation didn’t work in any aspect.  I didn’t feel connected or invested in their back stories or their end game.  This was a real shame because good characterisation is pretty much a deal breaker for me.  Like other readers, I went through bouts of anger and not the type that invoked such emotion that I was intertwined with the plot, the anger was for reasons that I will discuss below.  The main protagonists were so devoid of human kindness and emotion that I seriously wondered…

    Review: Foul Is Fair by Hannah Capin

    May 19, 2020 /

    Where do I begin with Foul is Fair?  The premise of the story was one that had intrigued me wholeheartedly.  A revenge thriller with a feministic twist.  A classic retelling based upon Macbeth that became darker and darker the further you travelled through its pages.  I want to include a trigger warning about the book before I go any further – It is a revenge tale after a sexual assault.  The premise is one that I would have expected to grab me and hold me hostage but the preceding emotion it left me with is an uncontrollable anger – the narrative within the story could be quite dangerous. It unfortunately,…

    Blog Tour: Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis

    May 2, 2020 /

    Wow.  Upon delving into Harrow Lake I’m not ashamed to admit I didn’t fully appreciate what I was getting into.  I thought it was going to be a plain sailing horror novel, a similar story but a story that was inevitable none the less.  WRONG.  I should have dug deeper just by one singular word used in the title – Harrow.  This story has the capability to encase your heart in ice, its harrowing and captivating and pushes ice cold water through your veins.  Be prepared for the author to give you a remarkably unique journey through your worst fears and leave you rocking in the corner by the closing…

    The Snakes by Sadie Jones

    February 23, 2020 /

    This book turned into a real disappointment.  It wasn’t like I struggled to get through the book.  From page one I was loving the journey, loving the complexity of every character.  Appreciating their role, their intricacies, their pain and the road that each decided to take.  The book for me, was a five-star read right up until the last two chapters.  The writing was engaging, and it had my attention so rapturously, I felt like I was contained within a vice.  It was intense and emotional, and I craved to know what the ending would deliver.  It was flat and completely separate from what was building.  I was disappointed.  The…

    Blog Tour: Safe House by Jo Jakeman

    October 31, 2019 /

    My huge thanks to Mia Quibell-Smith for my spot on the blog tour and for my copy of the book, It’s a stunner! All thoughts are my own.  Safe House examines the ramifications of loving and protecting the wrong man.  Should love bend irrefutably?  It makes the connection of just how far you’d be willing to go for the one you love.  If you are a fan of dark humour you are going to be in for a treat.  Safety doesn’t happen by accident. Being an avid psychological Thriller fan, I get extremely excited about the premise of a new, fresh idea.  I’ve read hundreds in this genre, so I…

    Review: The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher

    June 16, 2019 /

    This autobiography revolves around her unreleased journal entries during her time filming the first Star Wars film, in which she was a fresh faced nineteen year old girl. She was cast as the ever memorable Princess Leia. The memoir is a combination of witticisms, cringe worthy feelings and gut wrenching sadness. Carrie was no stranger to relative fame. Her mother was the actress Debbie Reynolds and her father was singer, Eddie Fisher. She realised how fickle the show business industry could be when her father left her mother for Elizabeth Taylor, causing a scandal and upset in her world. She was absolutely positive that she didn’t want to get stuck…
