BLOG TOUR – A House of Ghosts by W.C. Ryan
This is so reminiscent of an Agatha Christie thriller; one with a gothic setting! The story is told from different points of view, with the chapters alternating between characters, although they're not voiced in first person, but in third person. So, the scene is set ... at remote Blackwater abbey, inhabited by Lord and Lady... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – The Familiars by Stacey Halls
Can we first please just mention the absolutely stunning cover!? Isn't it just beautiful and so very eye-catching? I love it! And then ... the name of the main character: Fleetwood Shuttleworth!! I adore that too! It just oozes with a sense of depth and underlying richness (I don't mean wealth, I'm talking about a... Continue Reading →
BOOKS-ON-TOUR – The Liar’s Sister by Sarah A. Denzil
All the way through this book, the mantra 'What a tangled web we weave ..." kept repeating itself on a loop, in my head! And this is a tremendously tangled web! The book opens with a letter being written by Heather, to her older sister Rosie. She never intends to send this letter. It's meant... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – Intimate Strangers by Lasairiona E. McMaster
I absolutely adored Lasairiona's first book, Bloom Where You Are Planted - a no-nonsense guide to living abroad - so I couldn't wait to read her first fiction book. I'm pleased to say that it didn't disappoint! Lisa Millar makes the big 'mistake' of falling for handsome, musical, sporty AJ. So "what's the problem?" I... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – Lake Child by Isabel Ashdown
I couldn't put this down and finished reading it in just a day! It's a taut, tense and edgy thriller that will keep you guessing and turning pages at high speed! Eva wakes from being in a coma for many months. Her parents tell her she was involved in a serious car accident, but immediately,... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – Escape to Giddywell Grange by Kim Nash
Maddy Young thought she had it all. Swanky city apartment? – yep. Fancy car? sorted. High-flying career? – tick. Even if she’s lost most of her friends because of spending all her time at work, and can’t remember when she last had fun, it’s worth it. Until she’s suddenly made redundant. Now she’s 37, jobless,... Continue Reading →
BLOG BLITZ – His Secret Family by Ali Mercer
Essentially, for me, this was a story that showed the dark fickleness of men (apologies - I know that not ALL men should be tarred with the same brush!), and the ease with which many women (again, not ALL) are willing to fall back into what is familiar. Told from the point of view of... Continue Reading →
BOOKS ON TOUR – The Woman Upstairs by Ruth Heald
Wow! The twists in this one will give you whiplash! And our poor, naive lead character Katie is so easily manipulated that she has absolutely no idea who to believe. Everyone has a different, twisted story to tell her. What is true? What's a lie? I did find Katie's trusting naivete a bit far-fetched and... Continue Reading →
