    Review : Mummy’s Little Secret by M. A. Hunter

    August 13, 2021 /

    Mummy’s Little Secret was an explosive and fraught story with past traumas around every corner.  This story broke me a little inside, call it the powerful narrative, the secrets that we try to keep locked away or the maternal instinct within me, wanting to protect those that are vulnerable.  I’m going to try and do this review justice and explain exactly why this book altered me emotionally.  The prose was flawless, the teasing of the plot was carried out like a highly trained string musician.  Mummy’s Little Secret is told over two timelines,  two families, two main characters.  Before and now.  Jess’s family and Morag’s.  Two completely different women, from…

    The Dinner Guest by B.P. Walter | Book Review

    April 7, 2021 /

    The Dinner Guest was one novel that I gobbled up, in one serving!  Just when you think you’ve read all there is in the thriller genre along comes this beauty and smacks you upside the head.  The perfect couple trope on drugs.  Uniqueness.  An impending threat.  Twists by the bucketload.  If you think you have this one figured out be prepared for a grenade to literally blow your face to shreds.  Walter lies in wait for the perfect moment then hits you straight between the eyes for a killer blow.  Set in the super rich areas of London.  It sets the scene.  Things are about to be rocked to its…

    All The Little Things by Sarah Lawton | Blog Tour Review

    March 26, 2021 /

    All The Little Things is just my kind of read…messed up, screwed up and slowly, slowly injecting the creeping dread into my brain until it develops into an itch I just can’t reach.  When you have read as much crime fiction as I have over the last few years it really takes something to kick you on the arse, to make you pay attention.  All The Little Things did just that.  It had the added element, a calling card left in a deserted room.  It left clues for me to discover, to strip layer after layer until I had been exposed to its dark secrets.  The writing style, the narrative,…

    The Whispers by Heidi Perks | Book Review

    March 19, 2021 /

    Whispers is a poignant but brutal slashing to chest kind of read.  A tale of manipulation, jealousy and control.  In order to fully fall for a book, you to need to find something that really speaks to you.  A book that draws out connections, a book that aches to be heard.  It’s a book that knows how you as a reader, ticks.  The ease and rawness that flows from out with the pages is like liquid gold – rare and stunning.  Whispers has an addictive pull that ties you down and won’t let go until the last sentence has seeped into your pores…chores be damned! This story excels in taking…

    The Wife by Shalini Boland | Book Review

    March 12, 2021 /

    The Wife was typical of the genre.  It was set up with an ambiguous event that would implicate the characters and future events.  We were given loaded dialogue, a perfect husband and family but something missing, there’s always something missing.  The prologue sets the tone; apparently everyone knows that the events don’t add up, but the protagonist, Zoe, is just living in blissful ignorance.  I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the last Shalini novel I read, but that’s not to say this isn’t a good book, I did want to race through the chapters but, the believability was niggling in the back of my mind.  The Wife examines…

    If She Dies by Erik Therme | Blog Tour Review

    March 8, 2021 /

    This is the second book that I have read by Erik Therme.  Just like Roam, If She Dies has that dark undertone constantly running through it.  Imagine walking through the woods in the pitch darkness, you have not seen anyone, but you have the sinking suspicion that someone is out there watching you.  Within reading a few pages, I had many questions.  In fact, I had questions on top of questions which then spawned more questions.  All because Therme introduced us to Tess.  Any mother can get into the same headspace that Tess is in; just how do you move on from the death of a child? If She Dies…
