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 was really pleased to be invited to join the blog tour around the paperback release of Bella Osbourne’s new book. The Library is such an interesting book in that it presents two very different central characters who are both experiencing a similar sadness and isolation in their lives. Tom […]
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 […]
The clocks have now changed and the evenings are drawing in. We survived the Halloween weekend so now thoughts can legitimately turn to Christmas! No Christmas season would be complete without another festive Mandy Baggot contemporary romance. It is no ordinary love story though and feels like a big Father […]
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 […]
I will shamelessly admit that I am a huge Mandy Baggot fan and was delighted to be invited to take part in the blog tour for her latest book Staying Out For the Summer. Mandy’s books have always been like having an amazing summer holiday vicariously, with her vivid characters […]
You’ll remember Zoë Folbigg from her Amazon number-one bestseller The Note, based on the true story of how she met her husband on her daily commute. If you read The Note you’ll know that Zoe has a real gift for writing about realistic characters with pathos and a good deal […]
The Christmas season has been a nightmare so far for Holly Greene. One stupid mistake means that she might be about to lose the medical career that she has been working towards for the last eight years. When brother Jack invites her to join him and his family on the […]
I very rarely get sent Non Fiction books to review and this latest book by Dylan Jones is an absolute joy. It’s a bittersweet journey through the bands and the music that I loved growing up in the Eighties. This book brings back vividly the thrill of getting my hands […]
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 […]
Christmas seems to have started much earlier this year. Some of my neighbours have had Christmas decorations up for about three weeks already in an attempt to alleviate some of the gloom of the Winter lockdown in England. So if you’re looking for a little festive escapism this could well […]
The Illustrated Child is a story of the relationship between a father and his daughter. It isn’t always an easy one as Tobias Kemp and his nine year old daughter Romilly move into the ramshackle Braer House in a small Norfolk village. To Romilly it feels like there are ghosts […]
Shadow Sands is the second book in his new series featuring university lecturer Kate Marshall. If you haven’t read it yet please go back and find Nine Elms. You can read this as a standalone but why would you? Nine Elms is a deliciously creepy serial killer story that feeds […]
Keeley Andrews has had a pretty rough year. Her life has been turned upside down and now she’s very much under the gaze of her over-protective mother and feeling a little lost. When an email arrives out of the blue inviting her to spend an all expenses fortnight in Paris […]
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 […]
I’ve been a huge fan of Armstrong’s various series over the years – particularly the Cainsville and Otherworld books but the standalone stories are rarely as strong. Every Step She Takes is one of her better one-off stories although it does take a little while to get going. Genevieve leads […]
The queen of the RomCom, Kelk returns with the story of Ros. She has spent three years working away in Washington and now that she has returned she wants to pick up her old life in London just where she left it. Unfortunately her family and friends have other ideas […]
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 […]
