    The Cousins by Karen M. McManus | Blog Tour Review

    December 5, 2020 /

    Today I’m happy to be a part of The Write Reads Ultimate blog tour for the highly anticipated, The Cousins by Karen M. McManus.  Now, for a reader to be sucked into an author’s writing style, their narrative, they need the X-factor.  Something that allows them to keep coming back…book after book.  Karen M. McManus is no exception.  There are so many reasons why I keep coming back for more with her stories.  The air of mystery, the journey and most of all the care that is given to keep loyal readers.  The Cousins is a story that is reminiscent of the I know what you did last summer trope. …

    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…

    Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano|Review

    July 4, 2020 /

    Dear Edward…Prepare for a cry fest!  It combines everything I love in Contemporary novels, a soul-destroying plot, tug at your heart strings characters and a narrative that has me hugging my loved ones for dear life!  It’s not the first time that I’ve thought of myself as a masochist.  A family relocating.  Multiple lives forever intertwined through disaster.  Loneliness.  A boy left broken.  Element of a plot that in any other dimension would make for a truly devastating effect.  Only Ann Napolitano could take these effects and manage to align the stars. To bring a sense of ease and rightness by the final page.  The originality tears at you.  You…

    Review| The House On The Lake by Nuala Ellwood

    June 13, 2020 /

    The House On The Lake.  The synopsis, the atmosphere, the struggle.  It held such incredible promise.  A woman, Lisa is on the run from her husband, Mark.  A woman and her three-year-old son, Joe.  An impossible situation that finally breaks the woman – it gives her the edge and the courage to leave.  She essentially kidnaps her son and goes on the run, a plan loosely concocted.  She must make it to her friends Yorkshire cottage.  A cottage on the lake.  Rowan Isle House.  A story told in dual timeframes.  The plan didn’t account for how dilapidated the house would be.  It’s no place for a frightened woman…no place for…

    If you want a read that pulls at the heartstrings, makes you weep and hug your own children that wee bit tighter then this a book for you.  This book highlights the impact, adult’s behaviour and actions affect and change a child’s psyche – for better or worse.  During these years’ children develop a sense of the person they are going to become, they learn appropriate behaviour, empathy and appropriate boundaries.  They learn the social skills that will carry them through life.  This book examines the implications of parental abuse, racial undertones and a little boy who is struggling to find his place in the world.  The cover of the…

    The Never List by Koethi Zan

    June 2, 2019 /

    I enjoy a good messed up psychological thriller as much as the next person and this didn’t disapoint. The story follows the main character Sarah Farber, now being referred to as Caroline Morrow. It opens up on her flashbacks of being held captive in a cellar in her captors house, one Jack Derber. Jack by all accounts is an incredibly intelligent man but boy is he scarily dangerous. Sarah now lives her life in a very OCD and controlled way. She never goes outside, she works from home and her concierge of her apartment block never lets anyone near her door unless he has her prior consent. Everything changes when…
