    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…

    Psychological Thriller

    Mirrorland by Carole Johnstone | ARC Review

    December 31, 2020 /

    Mirrorland…first that cover told me about all the blows it would deliver.  It’s dark, it’s intimidating and the abyss you’re staring at?  Yeah, it’s going to pull you all the way under.  Not going to lie, I always wished I had a sister, but a twin sister? Shouldn’t that just come with a health warning, plain and simple?  Your sense of identity is shrouded around being part of a pair.  Mothers of twins the world over tend to dress them the same, do their hair the same and treat them the same.  How to you break free when your treated as half of a whole?  The first chapter of Mirrorland…

    Review: The Lady Of The Ravens by Joanna Hickson

    May 15, 2020 /

    The Lady Of Ravens was a great introduction into historical fiction.  The Tudor years seemed to be filled with the brutal way that life was and also the romantic way of living with the dress, the relationships and the dreams and aspirations.  I enjoyed the experience of being transported back in time to a land where you could truly count your enemies and friends on the same hand, and not really distinguishing between the two.  I did struggle with the speed at which the story pushed forward and would have benefitted from a faster pace.  Our protagonist, Joan Guildford was an honourable friend and a lady in waiting for Queen…

    Review: Dark Hollows by Steve Frech

    March 10, 2020 /

    Dark Hollows.  The premise of this book instantly grabbed me.  A spooky setting, an intriguing backstory, a loveable mutt and shrouded in the cloak of Halloween.  The vista was hypnotic.  I envisioned myself walking the paths, talking to the characters and being entranced by the quaint little town of The Hollows.  Life is finally going the way Jacob Reese wants it to.  He’s a respected businessman, a well-liked individual and most importantly he’s put his past to bed.  It’s not coming back to haunt him…until of course, he takes that booking from an attractive female.  A booking that he decides to forgo his usual booking protocols for.  Jacob Reese inherited…

    Domestic Thriller

    Review: The Fallout by Rebecca Thornton

    March 7, 2020 /

    What would you do if your five-year-old son fell and got injured on your watch.  Your best friend tells you they checked on him before the accident happens.  He was safe and happy.  You would trust that, wouldn’t you?  The Fallout examines the chain of events this accident triggers; they are catastrophic, and no one’s lives will ever be the same again.  Friendships should be filled with trust and compassion to what ends will the threads that hold them together snap.  The Fallout examines the confines and limits of friendships and the parenting circles of school age children.  The two-faced sides of mothers that spend all their time professing kindness…

    Blog Tour: The Guest List by Lucy Foley

    March 1, 2020 /

    The Guest List spins a wonderous tale of the wedding of the year.  Set the scene…you’re hearing about the upcoming nuptials everywhere.  You know it would do you well to be spotted there – you know it would advance you.  Then that invite drops through your door.  The marriage of reality TV star Will Slater and the stunning Jules Keegan, a magazine publisher.  The event is to take place on the isolated, Cormorant Island situated off the Irish coast.  I’m almost at a loss for words to review The Guest List.  The reason being?  Imagine Einstein wrote a thriller and left clues jotted in code…this taps on just how much…
