    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…

    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…

    Psychological Thriller

    Sins of the Father by Sharon Bairden | Blog Tour Review

    December 3, 2020 /

    Sins of the father.  History tells a tale that is resonated through time.  Children are a product of their upbringing.  Children have to suffer through their parents’ misdeeds and endeavours.  Often children have a nice and wholesome upbringing but more often a lot of children do not.  Sins of The Father is a tale that documents a quite frank abysmal upbringing of our protagonist, Rebecca through to adulthood and the impact abuse can have on an individual.  Life is anything but easy but there are factors that could significantly ease that journey.  I am a complete goner for stories like this.  I love the atmosphere, the story-telling of something so…

    The Perfect Couple by Jackie Kabler | Review

    October 4, 2020 /

    The Perfect Couple – always beware any book title that has perfect in it.  Nine times out of ten it is anything but perfect.  Gemma and Danny have the perfect life, the perfect jobs, and the perfect friends.  Nothing and no-one are perfect, and Danny and Gemma are no exception.  Gemma is a freelance journalist and Danny works in IT.  Life is sweet, that is until Gemma goes on a business trip and comes home to no chilled prosecco, no dinner cooking, and no Danny.  Initially Gemma thinks he’s been held late at work but the hours tick by and still there’s no Danny.  She is finally forced to report…

    A Prayer For The Broken by Mark Tilbury | Blog Tour

    October 2, 2020 /

    A Prayer for The Broken is an accurate testament that we shouldn’t fear creepy crawlies or heights – it is human’s that hold the key to breaking us open.  They have all the tools to completely alter our psyches.  I’m not ashamed to admit that this book held me in rapturous anticipation.  I hated characters with every fibre of my being and wanted a serious accident to befall them.  This psychological thriller chilled me to the very core but boiled my blood in the same sentence.  It has only solidified my viewpoint that people do such evil things in the name of religion. Eleven-year-old John McCormack has lost everything.  His…

    Psychological Thriller

    A Famished Heart by Nicola White | Review

    August 10, 2020 /

    A Famished Heart is the second book in the Vincent Swan series.  It’s set in Dublin in the 1980’s and captures the atmosphere and the times there quite accurately.  Before actually picking up this read, I found the synopsis to be extremely thought-provoking.  If I’m completely honest, I’ve always found the things people do in the name of religion deeply puzzling.  As an atheist it just isn’t on the same wavelength, I can’t put myself into their shoes but, I can try to understand where they are coming from.  Unfortunately, the book didn’t gleam that understanding for me.  I’ll openly admit that this is the first book that I have…
