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…
What We Did In The Storm – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Everyone brings their secrets to the island…” At this point, I don’t even think Tina Baker needs any sort of introduction. She’s just fabulous. Her books are incredible. And What We Did In The Storm did not let me down in the slightest! It’s her fourth novel, and each book sets the…
Helle & Death – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A snowstorm. A country house. Old friends reunited. It’s going to be murder…” At the time of writing this, it’s actually started snowing, so god help anyone on their way to a big old manor house for a reunion with university friends… I’ve got a bad feeling about it! Turn back! It’s…
A Confession – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ “I have never purposely hurt anything. I have never hurt anyone. Until today.” This book has been on my Kindle for AGES, and seeing as I want 2024 to be the year I actually make a dent in my back log, I thought this one would be a nice short read to…
