What lengths would you go to to protect your deepest, darkest secret? Well, I don't have a deep, dark secret, so I'm really not sure what I'd do to ensure that people don't find out about it, but Rebecca Bradley has created a cast of characters who have a lot to hide. She's also produced … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Kill For Me (DI Hannah Robbins #5) by Rebecca Bradley
For some reason I've always tended to avoid anything under the genre of 'cosy'. I don't know what it is, but the idea of a 'cosy' book, just doesn't sit well with me. However, even though Murder on the Rocks is classified as a 'cosy mystery' I thoroughly enjoyed it! I loved the Agatha Christie-esque … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Murder on the Rocks by J.S.Strange

Although this is the fourth in a series of books featuring DI Nathan Cody, having not read the first three books, I feel that this worked well as a standalone. Jackson gives enough background information for readers who haven't read previous books to know what's going on, so you don't feel left in the dark. … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Your Deepest Fear by David Jackson

For those of you who have already dipped your toes into the choppy waters of teenage-hood, I hand you a virtual … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Confessions of a Bad Mother – The Teenage Years by Stephanie Calman
This one shocks from the very beginning. It's not for the faint-hearted, so if you're not up for graphic language, descriptions of sex, and the many methods that can be used to achieve all sorts of pleasure without necessarily needing the assistance of a human partner, I'd suggest you walk swiftly past.
