In typical Angelnet Reviews fashion I signed up for the blog tour for The Shimmer on the Water after skimming through the synopsis of the book and assuming that it was going to be a detective story about the disappearance of a small child on a crowded beach. I’m very […]
I’ve been a fan of Clare Mackintosh for a while now. Her standalone thrillers are always a good twisty read with some interesting characters. I was quite interested to see that this new book The Last Party is the first in a new series featuring DC Ffion Morgan. Set on […]
After Paris begins like an episode of Gossip Girl. Teenage sons and daughters of the great and good have descended upon Paris for the grandest Debutante event in Europe. And this is how Alice, Nina and Jules met. The start of an unlikely friendship that has lasted for 20 years. […]
My UK readers will be familiar with Carol Kirkwood as one of the weather team on BBC Breakfast every weekday morning. She has cemented her place in the morning routine of millions of Brits. I can’t leave for work until I’ve seen Carol do the weather forecast! Until I was […]
I’m clearly missing my Mediterranean holidays as this is the second book I’ve read in recent weeks set on the beautiful Greek island of Corfu. You can almost feel the sunscreen on your skin and the sand between your toes as Broom paints a picture of an idyllic island village […]
If you follow me on some of my other social media accounts you’ll know that I’m also a keen cross stitcher. I’m one of those really annoying people that get all fidgety if they haven’t got something to do and will frequently be found stitching while “watching” TV or reading […]
It has been a year since Leah lost her niece Amy in a tragic drowning accident near the family-owned luxury holiday resort on Lake Garda. She hadn’t been back for the funeral and is shocked to find that her sister and the rest of the family seem to have erased […]
If you’ve never picked up one of Susan Mallery’s book you are in for a real treat. She has a huge back catalogue and writes such relatable stories that it is really easy to feel empathy for her characters. She has a unique brand of witty, emotional storytelling. All of […]
I seem to have read a number of these multi generational novels recently. Perhaps that is the latest fashion in fiction like when you couldn’t escape a vampire book or a dystopian future for quite a while? Thats not to say that I didn’t enjoy it, because I really did. […]
Big thanks to the lovely people at Aria Fiction and Head of Zeus for inviting Angelnet Reviews to be part of the blog tour for the launch of Rachel Burton’s newest book – The Secrets of Summer House. It has one of the more interesting covers that I’ve seen this […]
I loved Bella Osborne’s last book – The Library – so when I was asked to take part in the blog tour for her new book I jumped at the chance. Older readers may remember a 1980s US sitcom about a bunch of more mature women called The Golden Girls. […]
I can’t believe that it has taken until now for me to pick up one of Julie Houston’s novels. Booked in for the blog tour this week I devoured this story while basking in the Easter sunshine. It’s a fun uncomplicated read that had me laughing out loud in parts. […]
I picked this book up after I was invited to join the Blog Tour for the launch and was really surprised that this was the first Rachel Burton book that I have picked up. You’ll recognise the cover style instantly from her other hits – The Tearoom on the Bay […]
Having just got a puppy myself I was quite intrigued by the idea of a romantic comedy from the dog’s point of view. You do have to wonder just how many male pugs get called Doug? Back in the mists of time when I worked in an office one of […]
Coronavirus is another one of those things that seems to have split the nation, indeed nations all over the world. With some people taking the threat very seriously and others determined to keep living the way they always have, sure that the “risk” is minor and that they will be […]
After about ten years of anticipation this turned out to be a mighty tome to trawl through. It comes in at a mighty 768 pages. I had forgotten how exhausting it was seeing things from Edward’s over analytical viewpoint and his penchant for self deprecation and darkness. That said this […]
I’m not going to lie, this was a bit of a filler book for me until Midnight Sun gets released this week. It felt like time to dip my toes back in the YA vampire romance universe. Everything about this book just screamed “Twilight Rip Off” from the black, white […]
Candlish writes a great London thriller. Her previous book Our House had a gritty urban London feel in a comfortable suburban landscape. The Other Passenger follows in the same vein with more twists and turns than your average rollercoaster. Its a book about aspirations and not being content with your […]
When Anna meets Adam she’s on her “honeymoon” with her best friend Nell having just broken up with her fiance in the weeks before the wedding. Romance or love are the last things on her mind and she’s happy to spend some time in the sun having a few drinks […]
