I sometimes think it might be nice to live in a small little village, where everyone knows each other, and there's no hustle and bustle; where there's a sense of comfort and kinship; where everyone looks out for their neighbour. But then again, at the same time as looking out for you, they might also... Continue Reading →
If there's one thing that Susie Lynes does really well, it's domestic noir, and with her latest offering, The Housewarming, she just proves that she's getting better and better at it!

I loved that gothic touch that was added in here, and I absolutely adored... Continue Reading →

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!
