The Retreat – Book Review
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 Treasure Of Tundavala Gap – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Somewhere, out here in this busy, crazy city, his destiny awaited. He would build a fortune, get the Tundavala diamonds back, and show his father once and for all.

Raised By Committee – Book Review

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!

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…
