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 Ferry Merry Christmas – Book Review
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ “When the holidays don’t go to plan, can love chart a new course?” I felt all my stress melt away when I started reading this. I really wanted an easy, feel-good read with no murder (for a change 😆) and that’s exactly what I got with this, my first ever book from Debbie…
12 Ways to Kill Your Family at Christmas – Book Review
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “On the first day of Christmas my in-laws gave to me, a body in the snow and a motive or three…” GOD did I need this book! I’ve been holding off reading the Christmas books for as long as possible because I always fear I’m too early, but as soon as I grabbed…
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…
Home Sweet Home – Book Review
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “You invited her in. That was your first mistake.” Why the hell haven’t I read this sooner?! 🤯 Books like THIS are the reason why psychological thrillers are my absolute favourite, and this one has effortlessly slipped its way into my top reads of the year. Not only is this book a masterclass…
Pastures New – Book Review
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐.5 “Sometimes home is where you least expect it…” I don’t think I ever expected a novel from Clare Balding, but I’m so glad she has written this! And it feels so very ‘Clare’ from start to finish, which I loved. It’s pure escapism, with great characters you’ll want as your own friends. And…
Water Music: A Cape Cod Story – Book Review
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Nothing held us back. And I knew for one crystal clear moment that music was made up of magic, not notes.” This really was one of those books where you have no idea how you’re going to feel about it beforehand. It’s something so far away from what I usually pick up, but…
The Lexicon of Love – Book Review
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Navigating life one word at a time.” Ahhh I’ve been waiting very patiently for a brand new book from one of my favourite romcom authors and it’s finally here! And let me tell you – if you are craving something that’s funny, something you’ll be smiling at each time you pick it up,…
