Good morning everyone and happy Saturday . I’m taking inspiration from the lovely @nothing.beats.a.good.book for this post as I’ve actually managed to finish a book in half term!
I’ve just finished Little Red Death which I really enjoyed. It was a lot darker than I expected and that twist at the end?! So good! Full review coming soon but highly recommended by me.
I’m starting The Sirens tonight which I’m really excited about. I’ve heard lots of good things about it and I absolutely loved her previous book so I’ve been looking forward to reading it.
Huge thanks to the tagged publishers for sending!
What book are you reading this weekend?
Little Red Death by AK Benedict
ONCE UPON A TIME LIKE YOU’VE NEVER READ IT BEFORE . . .
DI Lyla Rondell is on the case of a lifetime. Tasked with investigating a series of perplexing deaths, the only lead she has is that each appears to be based on a different classic fairy tale. Far from the stuff of bedtime stories, the press is having a field day with what they have named the Grimm Ripper Murders.
But as the bodies stack up, Lyla’s whole world is about to flip on its head. Because the killer’s bloody trail stretches deep into her own origin story, and when she discovers the truth, nothing will ever be the same again.
Faced with the fact that everything she knows is fiction, Lyla will have to take a little creative license of her own if she’s going to turn the final page on the killings . . .
The Sirens by Emilia Hart
Lucy is running from what she’s done – and what someone did to her.
There’s only one person who might understand: her sister Jess. But when Lucy arrives at her sister’s desolate cliff-top house, Jess is gone.
Lucy is now alone, in a strange town steeped in rumour. Stories of men disappearing without a trace. A foundling discovered in a sea-swept cave. And women’s voices murmuring on the waves…
As Lucy searches for her sister, those voices get ever louder. They tell of two sisters, two centuries ago, bound and transported across the world. A world where men always get their way. A world that is at once distant, and achingly familiar.
Are these voices luring Lucy closer to her sister? Or will the secrets of the past pull them both under?
