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?!…
Ralph’s Party – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “What better place for tears and laughter, break ups and make ups than Ralph’s party?” I am completely and utterly embarrassed to only just be finishing my first Lisa Jewell book 😳 As a thriller lover, I am so very aware of just how late to the party I am. Speaking of…
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…
Beyond The Broken Shore – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A mother returns after years of abandonment, but can she be forgiven?” It’s always such a pleasure to read a book by Rebecca L. Marsh and her latest in the Princess Island series didn’t disappoint! There’s the trauma, the family drama and the brilliant characters I know and love, but this time,…
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! 😍…
Second Best – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Losing something so great over something so small is enough to make anyone go mad.” As a huge HP fan, I jumped at the chance to read this, and I wasn’t disappointed in the slightest! If you’ve ever been curious about stories of the ‘almost’ actors, you will love this. And you’ll…
Shattered – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I needed help. We needed help, and we needed it fast.” Every now and then I get the urge to jump into a non-fiction read, and this time it was an eye-opening and heartbreaking memoir about the struggles (and the rewards) of parenting, fostering and adopting, and just how one certain experience…
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…
