And now ... as they say ... for something completely different! A brief diversion from the normal novels (although for some, possibly a horror story!), today, as I'm reviewing a book that takes a look at eating habits. It's not a diet book - in fact, it boldly describes itself as an 'anti-obesity manifesto'. For … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW: Eat Less by Jeremy & Georgina Jackson-Sytner (With Elizabeth Scott-Moncrieff, MSC)
School teacher Nicole Palmer is still trying to get over her husband Mason's tragic death 10 months after he was killed in a plane crash in the African country of Narumbe when she receives what can only be something from someone playing a hideous joke: a photo of Mason ... very much alive. It's impossible … Continue reading BLOG BLITZ REVIEW – The Disappeared by Sibel Hodge
So excited to bring you my first blog tour review of 2019!! A Swedish noir that won the Crimetime Specsavers Best Debut Award! It's the first in a series featuring DI Charlie Lager, For the Missing and it's a chilling, atmospheric slow-burner that picks up the pace ... starting off slowly, with many hints as to … Continue reading Blog Tour Review – For the Missing by Lina Bengtsdotter
Yes, I do sometimes take a break from dark, twisted psychological type books, and when I do, it's delightfully refreshing to discover a book like Sharon Dempsey's My Virtual Life! I can quite easily picture my own teenage daughter watching a film version of this while comparing with her BFF's who has the most embarrassing … Continue reading BLOG BLITZ REVIEW – My Virtual Life by Sharon Dempsey
I'm really enjoying the number of books coming out lately with a supernatural theme running through them. It adds even more of an edge to the psychological thrillers that I love! The Uninvited falls right into this category. There's a chilling sense of unease running all the way through this from the very first page. … Continue reading BLOG BLITZ REVIEW – The Uninvited by J.A. Baker
I think I need to own up to more than a bit of a fangirl fascination with David Nolan (not in a crazy, stalker-ish way, you understand!). Once I'd stayed up reading Black Moss (in one sitting - it's really that good), I wanted to find out a bit more about who wrote it. I … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Black Moss by David Nolan | @Nolanwriter @fahrenheitpress #LoveBooksGroupTours
There's no better setting for a creepy, ghostly thriller than a former psychiatric home in the English Fens. Add to that the fact that the nearby village is steeped in the history of the witches that were said to have lived there, and you have the perfect backdrop for an atmospheric, dark, chilling read. The … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW – The Lingering by S.J.I. Holliday
Watch out Sweetpea (CJ Skuse), I think you've met your match! Gloria is as messed up and awful a character as you are! How often do you come across people you dislike; people who you feel have done you wrong and who you'd like to get your revenge over on? And how often do you … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – The Doll Collector by Joanna Stephen-Ward
Ok, so ... this is the third in a series of which I hadn't read the previous two books. It's easily read as a standalone but I need to say off the bat that although this is the case, and the author does a good job of filling the reader in on the backstory, this … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Perfect Bones by AJ Waines (Dr. Samantha Willerby #3)
The first thing I need to say is that I absolutely love the fact that the author, a MAN - the 'M' is for 'Mike' - has the incredible ability to create such strong, resilient female protagonists. He must have had some pretty amazing role-models in his life! I've had 'The Girl With All the … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Someone Like Me by M.R. Carey
