Dancing Through A Deluge – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The two women clasped hands. “Thank you,” Claudia whispered, “For saving me.” Before this year, I wouldn’t have touched a historical fiction book in fear that I wouldn’t enjoy it. But after reading The Betrayal of Thomas True back in May and loving it, it stirred something within me, something which made…
The Christmas Appeal – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A Christmas Panto. A Dead Santa. And Everyone’s a Suspect…” This was my second Janice Hallett book this year and I was so happy to dive back into her brilliant mind! I really wanted to read this last year but didn’t manage to fit it in during Christmas, so here we are,…
A Skye Full Of Stars – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Under the winter stars, anything is possible…” This is probably one of the most beautifully written Christmassy books I’ve read! My first Sue Moorcroft book, but certainly not my last. From an idyllic setting in the Isle of Skye to a heartwarming story line at the best time of year, this book…
Everyone This Christmas Has A Secret – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Twenty-four advent calendar doors. Twenty-three clues. One killer…” I think this was my first ever Christmas themed murder-mystery and it was utterly brilliant! I went into this really not knowing what to expect, but I was very quickly hooked. I loved Ernest and his humour, and the characters we meet had me…
The Christmas Cottage – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Will this Christmas finally bring comfort and joy?” 🥰🥰🥰 Sarah Morgan, you wonderful, wonderful human! I’d been looking forward to this book ever since it was announced months ago, so to finally read it has made me so incredibly happy. What an amazing, heartwrenching, beautiful, Christmassy read, with the Sarah Morgan touch…
Ink Ribbon Red – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “When a real murder comes, will you be able to spot it in time?” My brain. My poor lil brain. I am so glad I took my time with this book! I spent every evening for a week enjoying pages and pages of pure mystery goodness and I am once again hungover…
Christmas Actually – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Time spent with family can be challenging, especially at Christmas.” Book number two of my Christmas TBR pile and what another brilliant story! It wasn’t as festive as I was expecting, but the themes included made up for it. Family, forgiveness, and starting again, as well as the joys (and stresses) of…
Kiss Me At Christmas – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Can Harriet save Christmas or will the man she can’t forget stand in her way?” I am TOO excited about my first Christmas read of the year 😍 I cannot explain how absolutely stunning and fun and moving and romantic and utterly brilliant this book is! If you read one book this…
Dead Behind The Eyes – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Nothing and nobody were what they seemed in this investigation; everyone was wearing a mask, including, he realised, himself.” I think I need to go for a lie down after this! I really enjoyed this mystery – Matthieu Lombard is one hell of a main character and probably one of the strongest…
