Overall thoughts: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Most are here to recharge and refresh. But someone’s here for revenge…” You know that feeling when you love a book so much that you just want to savour every single moment of it, and it takes you much longer than you thought it would to read because you simply don’t want…

The Examiner – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Six students. One murder. Your time starts now…” Ooofft. This was exquisite! And mind-boggling. And just really masterfully plotted. A work of art, if I may! Being all about a brand new Multimedia Art course at Royal Hastings University, it only seems right to say so about this book. Shady characters, truly…
Section Roads – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Murder is an easy thing to hide along old country section roads.” My first read from Mike Murphey was a hit; a solid blend of mystery meets romance meets crime thriller, with a brilliant cast of characters and a plot to keep you guessing. I love finding hidden gems like this and…
After The Storm – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Two children went into the sea. Only one came out alive.” Oh my god. Wow. Wow wow wow wow wow. I’ve read one same comment in loads of other reviews for this book, but I’m going to repeat it anyway because it’s the truth. How on EARTH is this book a debut?!…
The Intruders – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “They were told to leave. They should have listened.” This book!! Why is it that books I’ve been meaning to read for MONTHS end up being some of my absolute favourites and I wish I’d read them sooner?! I honestly feel like I’ll have to split myself into four to get through…
The Itch That Couldn’t Be Scratched – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I’m not a killer. I’m just an ordinary bloke who wants a bit of justice.” An author AND a Yorkshireman? This book was bound to be decent. (Not biased at all…) And right from the start, it was clear my predictions were correct. I had a great time with The Itch That…
Her Last Summer – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “No body. No crime?” Emily Freud has done it again! With her previous book, What She Left Behind, being my top read of last year, it’s obvious just how excited I was to finally reach for this one from my book shelf. And it was everything I’d hoped it would be! 😍…
First Wife’s Shadow – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “His first love. Her dangerous obsession.” Yes, yes and YES. This is a book of the year contender, without a doubt! I’ve absolutely flown through this after being stuck in a bit of slow reading slump, but First Wife’s Shadow has got me out of whatever rut I was in and it’s…
Crimson Sunrise – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A cold chill crept down her spine. The ease with which he killed and brushed it off was terrifying.” This book was exactly what I needed to read; a short crime thriller that really packs a punch. It was so easy to binge-read, the pacing and the intense action had me always…
The Wrong Sister – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Every family has secrets. Some more deadly than others.” I don’t really think I need to introduce Claire Douglas to all the thriller fans – of course her latest book is just as gripping and as perfectly written as you would expect! It completely blew my mind and I didn’t see the…
