Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “They planned a party game – not a murder.” I honestly had no idea what to expect with this one, but woooooah! I was completely sucked in from the start and read half of it in one go (rarely happens in my world!) But then again, t’was the night before the Christmas Book…

Not Another Bloody Christmas – Book Review
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 “Family time is the ultimate killer…” I immediately jumped into this one as soon as I finished book one in this series, Happy Bloody Christmas, something that has NEVER happened to me before with a series! But I just had to! I loved the first book so much and it cheered me up…

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 “Christmas with the family can be murder…” THIS is the exact book I needed to get me out of my lengthy reading slump!! Hurrah! What a book. I’m a little late to the party with book one in this series as it was released last September and I didn’t manage to fit it…
A Day of Brahma – Book Review
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐.5 “Failure is not an option. Failure is fatal.” I’ll admit, when books are longer than 400 pages, it turns me off a bit. But this one seemed to have so much packed into it according to the synopsis, so I took a chance on it! I’ll admit, it’s a heavy read and you…

A Summer’s Kill – Book Review
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “It’s summer, and a cunning, demented killer is rising.” You know what, after reading the third book in this series, I’ve come to love Carolyn Ryder so much that I’ll be pretty sad when I’ve finished! I’m reading all these books out of season order, but I’m past caring because I’m enjoying them…
Strangers in the Car – Book Review
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 “A late night lift home? Or a fatal mistake…” It’s time for book number four in my 12 in 2025 reads! 🥳 Okay, so I bought the hardback of this book titled One Wrong Turn, and since then, it has been released in paperback with a new title and cover. And I have…
