UK Publication Date: 21 Apr 2016. 320 pages. It is an interesting angle for a story. Two twelve year old girls are abducted from their respective homes in small-town America. Carly May is a junior beauty queen attending pageants and winning titles. Lois is a Spelling Bee Champion and a […]
UK Publishing Date: 14 Jan 2016 (HB & eBook) & 25 Aug 2016 (Paperback). 320 pages. I noticed one publisher recently describing books in this genre as “grip-lit” and physically shuddered when I read it. Yes it is a gripping psychological drama but honestly – “grip-lit”? What is wrong with […]
UK Publishing Date: 7 Jun 2016. 216 pages. Interference is the third book in Sophia Henry’s Pilot Hockey series. It is a very short read at 216 pages and more of a novella – however this is reflected in the price. If you come to this book expecting a full […]
UK Publishing Date: 11 Feb 2016. 352 pages. I was quite surprised when I just checked the number of pages for this review because Behind Closed Doors felt like quite a short book. In reality it isn’t it just keeps you turning the pages so quickly that it feels shorter […]
UK Publishing Date: 09 Feb 2016. 242 pages Clementine Daly is a graduate without a purpose. Coming from a venerable American family (think along the lines of the Vanderbilts and you’re in the right ballpark) where everyone else is working in the family real estate business she has no interest […]
UK Publishing Date: 6 Jun 2014. 258 Pages. The Haunting of Melmerby Manor is the first in David Robinson’s Spookies series.

It […]
UK Publishing Date: 31 Dec 2015. 400 pages. Billed as a Young Adult book but I’d say that Time Travelling with a Hamster would really suit the Tween audience. It reads a bit young for most teenagers and young adults. Personally I found it quite a slow read with little […]
UK Publishing Date: 31 Dec 2015. 321 pages. If I See You First is one of those books that feels like it is more than the sum of its parts and even though it is about a teenage girl at High School don’t let that put you off picking up […]
UK Publishing Date: 3 Dec 2015. 352 pages. It is hard to describe my journey through The Silver Witch. At about a quarter of the way through I was about to give up on it. It isn’t the easiest read. The pacing is very slow with little happening as the […]
UK Publishing Date: 19 Nov 2015. 272 pages. As Good as Dead is described in the book notes as “an exquisitely tuned psychological high-wire act” and unfortunately this is a bit misleading. As I went into this book I was expecting a fast paced psychological thriller and instead i got […]
UK Publishing Date: 20 Nov 2015. 98 Pages. Christmas Cravings is another story in the Greedily Yours series by Emma Hamilton. It is really a long short story or a short novella specially released for the festive season. If you haven’t read any of the other stories it doesn’t really […]
UK Publishing Date: 10 Nov 2015. 322 pages. For the Record is the debut book by author Charlotte Huang and should not be confused with the adult title of the same name by K A Linde. Aimed at a younger YA audience this is the story of Chelsea and her […]
UK Publication Date: 5 Nov 2015. 288 pages. I’ve never been a huge fan of Tess Gerritsen’s Rizzoli and Isles series so it was a great surprise when I found myself enjoying Playing with Fire, a standalone novel. It is a story of two violinists. One present day, living in […]
UK Publishing Date: 27 August 2015. 512 pages. Another one with a supernatural theme for Halloween! Its been a while since my last Derek Landy book. I did enjoy the first couple of Skulduggery Pleasant books so thought that this might make an interesting change. Amber is a tubby teenager […]
UK Publishing Date: 13 Aug 2015. 272 Pages Its probably a bit quirky but I find short stories fundamentally unfulfilling. You just start to get under the skin of a character and then the story ends. Next you are launched into a different setting and a new bunch of characters. […]
UK Publishing Date: 13 August 2015. 425 Pages I thought that I was going to like this book when the opening quote was from Wuthering Heights. “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same”. It was a very promising start. Imperfect Love is a book of […]
