If you’ve been following my reviews for a while you’ll know that I can’t resist a book set in the Hamptons. A mis-spent youth watching every episode of Revenge has left me with a yearning to discover the sand dunes of the wealthy New Yorkers for myself. So, when I […]
Twenty years ago Johanna Porter was tipped as one of the most talented up and coming artists in the US. After an indiscretion her fledgling career is trashed by her mentor, the renowned artist Nestor Pinedo. Now Johanna is a Soccer Mom looking after daughter Mel and teaching Art at […]
Rachel Burton is one of my favourite authors of recent years and I’m really pleased to have been invited to join to blog tour for the paperback launch of The Last Party at Silverton Hall. Like a lot of my recent reads it features the dual timeline with the two […]
What a way to start the new year off! I’ve always been rather fond of witches and back in the day devoured Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches series (long before the current reboot on screen). This is not a tale of dark witches but the story of three strong and resourceful […]
With a thick blanket of snow on the ground outside it is the perfect time to hibernate with a good Christmas book. Mandy Baggot typically publishes two books a year – one set in Greece for the summer holidays and the other is a feel-good festive story. This latest book […]
Jen is almost 30 and when her current boyfriend breaks up with her, by not really realising that they were actually properly together, she knows that it is time to take action. A pact with her best friend sees her vowing to put herself first and be single for six […]
Another festive book for you this week, although probably more seasonal than overly Christmassy. I love taking part in these Blog Tours because they introduce me to authors that I haven’t read before. Jenny Kane is huge in the cosy romance sector and has published a number of book series […]
I love Christmas! The best thing about the evenings drawing in for Winter is the large number of Christmassy books that land on my Kindle. Some from authors that I know and love, and others – like this one – from writers that I haven’t read before. And honestly looking […]
I seem to be going through a bit of an Irish phase at the moment. This is my second consecutive book set there and I’m currently watching the very unpredictable Bad Sisters on Apple TV. You may have read Faith’s earlier bestseller – The Ladies’ Midnight Swimming Club – and […]
You know that it is nearly Christmas when every Thursday has a deluge of new release books out and you can’t swing a cat for all of the authors and personalities popping up on the radio promoting their new book! In the last few weeks one of the big releases […]
I get sent most of my review copies as digital versions and for the most part I do prefer that as otherwise I would slowly get buried under a mountain of paper. As soon as I started reading Starry Night I really wanted a hard copy of the book. The […]
Sophie spent many happy summers as a child at Rockaway Beach. Visiting her beloved grandmother and taking in all the ambiance of a summer seaside resort. Then, suddenly one summer, the holidays stopped and all Sophie knew was that her mother and her grandmother had really fallen out. A couple […]
I don’t read a lot of autobiographies but I have to confess that I was more than a bit curious about the life that has led to Patterson writing over 200 novels in his illustrious career. If you are familiar with his bitesize chapter writing style you’ll be pleased to […]
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 […]
So, I have a confession to make. I’ve had this book on my TBR pile for about six weeks and every time I thought that it might be time to pick it up I found an excuse not to. Not because I don’t love Bryndza’s books – I do! – […]
Point Last Seen is my first book by prolific author Christina Dodd. This is a thriller with a romantic interest rather than the straightforward romance novels that make up the body of her work and is the first in a new series set in the town of Gothic, California. “On […]
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 […]
