Gripping from the very first line! Gemma and Danny have been married for almost a year and have just moved from London to Bristol.

Another book set in a village (we all know how much I love those)! This time, the village of St. Agnes in Cornwall and there's a 200-year-old feud thrown into the mix, together with the expected undercurrent of menace and unease.

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 →
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 →
