Can't I give this 10 stars??? I absolutely adored this book! I loved the Casey's and all their typical family in-fighting and nonsense (actually, in Irish terms it's referred to as 'malarkey' I think). Marian writes in a way that draws the reader in and makes you feel like you're right there, just a fly... Continue Reading →
Happy publication day to Dreda Say Mitchell for this excellent psychological thriller! I couldn't put this one down! It's a really gripping page-turner; sometimes spooky; a bit chilling; unputdownable! At the age of 18, Rachel suffered a series of shocking tragedies: her mother died; she was attacked by someone she should have been able to... Continue Reading →
Happy publication day to debut author, Fiona Woodifield! Welcome to the world of the delightful Sophie Johnson! Smart, intelligent, not bad looking, but has dismal luck with men. Also, her job description at top fashion magazine Modiste, is 'Sales Executive' but falls sadly short of the mark as all it entails is sitting on the... Continue Reading →
Oh my word Sandy Taylor! What a gem of a book this is! Not only did I absolutely love it, but it made me yearn to get on a plane and head straight to Ireland for a long-overdue visit. If ever a book as evoked a feeling of such heartfelt longing to be somewhere then... Continue Reading →
When I started reading this, I wasn't so sure I was going to be able to continue. I was doubtful about my ability to deal with two mature (?) adults - one of which had left his wife and teenage daughter - who constantly craved each other's bodies and behaved like sex-starved prisoners who'd been...

Oh my word, I adored this book! Why have I never read anything by Shari Low before?! Four sisters: Zoe, Marina, Verity and Yvie ... all so different in every single way. Marina is the only one who's married and she makes helicopter moms look lazy and uninvolved! Zoe's the corporate, marketing wizz; Verity's a... Continue Reading →
I'm very late to the party with this one due to being struck down with flu last week and being literally flattened by it for almost 5 days. But ... I'm back ... and now catching up on those days that disappeared into the ether. Thank you to my lovely Bookouture people for understanding, and... Continue Reading →
A fascinating, although I must admit, rather dense read about female spies in the mid 1600's. Clearly they existed, but seem to have been excluded in much of the literature that's been written about this time, which focuses about the shenanigans that the men got up to, chasing chambermaids and plotting behind each other's backs!...

Happy publication day Suzanne Goldring! Burning Island is the most beautiful, richly layered story of tragedy and pain, challenge and hope, told through a dual timeline that is smoothly interwoven against the lush backdrop of the island of Corfu. Corfu 1944 - the Jews who have, for many years, lived peacefully alongside their Greek neighbours,... Continue Reading →
Happy publication day Catherine Hokin! Your deeply emotional WWII story only goes to prove how many unique stories there are to still be created about one of the bleakest eras of human history. Although this is a work of fiction, all of the literature based during these years finds its source in fact. Felix falls... Continue Reading →
