Many thanks to THE Book Club (specifically Tracy Fenton) and NetGalley for my advance copy in return for an honest review. Forget everything you’re expecting when you pick up this book – it’s just completely unexpected from every aspect! It’s about Gina’s lovely husband Rick, who goes out one afternoon to get a newspaper and... Continue Reading →

Many thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for an advance copy of this book (due for release on 14 April 2016) in exchange for my honest review. This is an enjoyable read - well as enjoyable as a book about a missing child can be, so no, that's not the right word really. What I mean is... Continue Reading →

Many thanks to the author and THE Book Club (Facebook) for an advance copy of this book in return for an honest review. Edie has returned to Number 17 Coronation Square after an absence of 30 years. It is not a happy reunion. She’s here to clear out the house after the death of her aunt... Continue Reading →

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for my advance copy of this book in return for an honest review. Wow! So, after writing a series of ‘chic-lit’ (I don’t like the term, but for want of a better one I’ll use it here) books about an individual by the name of Coco Pinchard, and various...

Thank you to Netgalley and Random House UK for my advance copy of this book in return for an honest review. I’ve read most of Tammy Cohen’s previous psychological thrillers and this one certainly doesn’t disappoint. She doesn’t write to a formula as some authors do – she manages to surprise her readers every single... Continue Reading →

She’s a geeky science student who’s passionate about studying bugs (of all things) and he’s a good looking, popular man about campus. Romilly can’t... Continue Reading →

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my advanced copy of this book in return for an honest review. I can’t help thinking that this book would make one of those perfect ‘feel-good’ movies, similar to  ‘Steel Magnolias,’ ‘Erin Brokovich’ or ‘Fried Green Tomatoes’ (which is referred to numerous times in this book). It’s... Continue Reading →

Thanks to Netgalley, THE Book Club (FB) and the publisher for my advance copy of this book in return for an honest review. Ben and Emma Jewell have a severely autistic son, Jonah. This is not the autism that is so often dramatised for Hollywood purposes; he is not a savant, he has no exceptional... Continue Reading →

Many thanks to the publisher for my copy of this book. With Tribe, Xenopoulos has produced an iconic work that defines a generation … MY generation. I can already feel myself getting quite irate at the numerous young upstarts who will undoubtedly do their damndest to claim it as the literary representative of their own... Continue Reading →

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. It seems impossible, after Silent Scream and Evil Games, that Angela Marsons could have upped her game and written an even better edge-of-your-seat, psychological thriller, but she’s gone and done just that! With Lost Girls, Angela... Continue Reading →
