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…

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…

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ “His desire will consume her. And all she can do is surrender.” Good god. This book has been burned into my brain for both positive and negative reasons. It was a hard book to review – on the one hand, the plot is addictive, fast and for the most part, very engaging….
Two Over Easy All Day Long – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “It’s funny how life just keeps going.” I had absolutely no idea what to expect with this one, but I feel so incredibly happy to have experienced it. What a ride! A beautifully written book with an exciting and memorable plot. I’m so happy to be sharing my review for Two Over…
The Betrayal Of Thomas True – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The only sin is betrayal.” One thing you should know about me is that I don’t read a lot of historical fiction. I’m very picky. In fact, I could probably count the number of books on one hand, and I certainly can’t remember which was the last I read. HOWEVER. As soon…
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…
