Book Synopsis:

In search of a new life, seventeen-year-old Adriana Clark’s family moves to the ancient, ocean-battered Isle of Mull, far off the coast of Scotland. Then she goes missing. Faced with hostile locals and indifferent police, her desperate parents turn to private investigator Sadie Levesque.

Sadie is the best at what she does. But when she finds Adriana’s body in a cliffside cave, a seaweed crown carefully arranged on her head, she knows she’s dealing with something she’s never encountered before.

The deeper she digs into the island’s secrets, the closer danger creeps – and the more urgent her quest to find the killer grows. Because what if Adriana is not the last girl to die?

Beautifully haunting with twists and turns you’ll never see coming, The Last Girl to Die is your next obsession waiting to happen. Perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride and L.J. Ross.

My Review:

The Last Girl To Die is an atmospheric, creepy read that is perfect for snuggling up with this Autumn.

Firstly I loved the island setting of this book and the closed room scenario it created. I felt there was something not quite right about the island from the beginning, especially as the residents seemed so wary about strangers and unwilling to accept Sadie’s help to try to solve the murder of one of their own. The history of the island with its myths and legends helped add to the mysterious atmosphere with the reader constantly guessing what was happening.

The characters were all interesting creations, though all flawed in some way so I don’t think I actually warmed to any of them. Sadie is definitely a brave lady, willing to stand up for herself and put herself is some awkward situations. I felt like screaming at her sometimes for her actions and felt frustrated with her at times for hiding evidence from the police. I was also constantly frustrated by the lack of support from the police on the island and their unwillingness to accept that one of the islanders could be the murderer. It made me mistrust them and wonder what they were trying to hide.

Overall I thought this was an exciting, gripping read that I really enjoyed. The story gripped me from the start and the fast pace of the story made the book hard to put down as there always seemed to be something happening to keep my interest. I found it hard to guess who the murder was as there seemed to be so many suspects! The ending was brilliant and very surprising which I always enjoy. I especially liked how the author kept the story going after the big reveal so the reader could find out what happened to all the characters.

Huge thanks to Avon and Mida publicity for my copy of this book.

Book Synopsis:

How much is the smile from the person you love worth to you?
 
Brooke’s life has derailed. Her social life and career have evaporated, her daughter is desperately unhappy and being bullied at school, and, for a 43-year-old, she probably spends way too many weekends at her parent’s. But the reason for all this is no mystery. A year and a half ago, Brooke’s husband died.
 
But Brooke does have one secret. Her husband’s death, the worst thing that has ever happened to her, has made her unbelievably rich.
 
Despite her despair, Brooke suddenly realises she has the power to make her daughter’s life, and the world a little brighter.

My Review:

The Reason is a brilliant, uplifting read that manages to be heartwarming but also heartbreaking at times.

Firstly I absolutely loved the wonderful characters in this story and enjoyed following them throughout the book. I really felt for Brooke who is definitely going through a lot at the moment. As a mother I know how difficult it is trying to help your kids with their friendship problems and my heart went out to her as I read. I loved how real Brooke was and how imperfect as it made me want to be on her side. The supporting characters of Brooke’s friends and family were brilliant too. I loved the fabulous description of their time together and wanted to join in with chaos.

The story drew me in quickly and I soon felt very connected to everything that was happening as if I was watching everything unfold myself. I loved all the ways Brooke helps make her daughter, and others, smile. It was truly wonderful watching some of them unfold and see how happy they make people. Someone needs to try the #noreason campaign in real life as I think it would help lift a lot of people’s spirits. There were some very funny moments that made me laugh out loud including a few memorable conversations that have stayed with me long after reading and still make me laugh even now.

Huge thanks to Sara-Jade from Simon and Schuster for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book. I’ll be recommending this book to everybody!

Book Synopsis:

Three unlikely friends. One chance to save the community. It might just be the perfect blend….

The Marjorie Marshall Memorial Cafeteria is at the heart of St Jude’s Hospital. Staffed by successive generations of dedicated volunteers, for over fifty years the beloved cafeteria has been serving up a kind word and sympathetic ear along with tea and scones.

Hilary, the stalwart Manageress, has worked her way up through the ranks; Joy, the latest recruit, is driving Hilary mad by arriving late every day; and seventeen-year-old Chloe, the daughter of two successful surgeons, is volunteering in the holidays and bemused by the older women.

But when they discover the cafeteria is under threat of closure, the unlikely trio must put aside their differences. As they realise the secrets and sorrows they have in common, the women grow closer – but can they bring the community together and save the day?

Full of wisdom and warmth, The Tea Ladies of St Jude’s Hospital is a gorgeously poignant, hilarious story about unlikely friendships, growing old disgracefully, and coming together to save the things we love…

My Review:

I’m a huge fan of this author and have loved all her previous books. So you can imagine my excitement when I heard that she had a new book coming out. The Tea Ladies Of St Jude’s Hospital is a heartwarming, uplifting reading that I really enjoyed.

Firstly I absolutely loved the three main characters that made up the Tea Ladies. They seemed so different to each other and so fractured at the beginning that it was wonderful to see them coming slowly together throughout the book. I enjoyed getting to know them all a little better, gradually learning more about their past and their secrets as the story went on.

The story goes along at a good pace and there always seemed to be something happening to keep my interest. I loved following the girls as they battled to try and save their beloved cafe and not let the big corporations win. The descriptions of some of their actions and some of the food served at the new restaurant was hilarious. I often found myself laughing out loud as I read much to the amusement of my kids.

I have to admit I had guessed the ending fairly early on but that was half the fun of the book for me that I could relax and just enjoy the story. I liked the way the book ended and I closed the book happy but missing my Tea Lady friends.

Huge thanks to Hodder for my copy of this book.

About The Author:

Joanna Nell was born in the Midlands and graduated from Oxford University with a medical degree in 1991.

In 2003 she moved to Australia where she now works as a GP with a passion for women’s health and care of the elderly.

Joanna writes character-driven stories of self-discovery for women of a certain age, creating young-at-heart characters who break the rules and defy society’s expectations.

She lives on Sydney’s Northern Beaches with her husband and two children. THE SINGLE LADIES OF JACARANDA VILLAGE is her first novel.

Book Synopsis:

London, 1944.

Clara Button is no ordinary librarian. While the world remains at war, in East London Clara has created the country’s only underground library, built over the tracks in the disused Bethnal Green tube station. Down here a secret community thrives: with thousands of bunk beds, a nursery, a café and a theatre offering shelter, solace and escape from the bombs that fall above.

Along with her glamorous best friend and library assistant Ruby Munroe, Clara ensures the library is the beating heart of life underground. But as the war drags on, the women’s determination to remain strong in the face of adversity is tested to the limits when it seems it may come at the price of keeping those closest to them alive.

Based on true events, The Little Wartime Library is a gripping and heart-wrenching page-turner that remembers one of the greatest resistance stories of the war.

My Review:

Oh my goodness I absolutely loved this book. It was a really absorbing, gripping read that manages to be both heart warming and heart breaking.

Firstly, as regular members of my blog will know, I absolutely love books set in the Second World War especially if learn about something new. I had never heard of the underground library or the wonderful underground community that existed in Bethnal Green during the war. I was absolutely enthralled by the author’s fabulous descriptions which were so vivid that I felt like I was actually there experiencing everything alongside the characters.

There are some truly fantastic characters in this book some of whom I absolutely loved and others who I loved to hate. I really loved the two main characters Ruby and Clara, especially as they had such a passion for reading. It was really heartwarming to see them engaging so many different people in reading and encouraging them to read whatever they wanted. There was some great supporting characters too and through them the reader learns more about the war and social attitudes towards women at the time, some of which made my blood boil.

Overall, as you can probably tell, I absolutely loved this book and will be recommending it to everyone! I read this book in two days as I just couldn’t put it down as I has to find out what was happening next. I thought it was very clever how the author managed to include so many different parts of the war into the book without it seeming forced or too much and I loved learning more about the Channel Islands, silent bombs and the East End during the blitz. I was very sad when the community and the library had to close at the end of the war as everything started going back to normal. I found I really missed it and am keeping this book in my keep forever shelf so I can return to it soon.

Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Hodder for my copy of this book. I highly recommend this book!

My Other Husband by Dorothy Koomson

I’ve not read much from this author before but I’ve been hearing great things about this book so I can’t wait to read it soon. It’s actually going to be my next read as it’s a library book so I need to give it back soon.

Book Synopsis:

Someone’s trying to frame me for murder. But I can’t prove my innocence. Because then I’d have to confess about… my other husband.

As Cleo drafts the final ever episodes of the series, people she knows start getting hurt. And it’s soon clear that someone is trying to frame her for murder.

She thinks she knows why, but Cleo can’t tell the police or prove her innocence. Because then she’d have to confess about her other husband . . .

A series of terrifying murders. A set of complex lies.
And a woman with no way to clear her name.

Remarkably Bright Creatures By Shelby Van Pelt

I love the sound of this one, unusual books always appeal to me and what’s not to love about an octopus main character!

Book Synopsis:

After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night cleaner shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium. Ever since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat over thirty years ago keeping busy has helped her cope. One night she meets Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium who sees everything, but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors – until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova’s son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it’s too late…

Shelby Van Pelt’s debut novel is a reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.

The People On Platform 5 by Clare Pooley

I absolutely loved this author’s first book so this was another book I had on pre-order as soon as I knew about it. I’ve heard lots of good things about this one too so can’t wait to read it!

Book Synopsis:

Every day at 8:05, Iona Iverson boards the train to go to work with the same group of people who she makes assumptions about, even giving them nicknames. As a seasoned commuter, she knows there are rules that everyone should follow:
· You must have a job to go to
· Don’t consume hot food
· Always pack for any eventuality
· You must never speak to strangers on the train

But then, one morning, Smart-but-Sexist-Surbiton chokes on a grape right in front of Iona. Suspiciously-Nice-New Malden steps up to help and saves his life, and this one event sparks a chain reaction.

With nothing in common but their commute, an eclectic group of people learn that their assumptions about each other don’t match reality. But when Iona’s life begins to fall apart, will her new friends be there when she needs them most?

Are any of these on your TBR pile?

Book Synopsis:

At the heart of a tiny community in a remote village just inland from the Aberdeenshire coast stands an unexpected lighthouse. Built two centuries ago by an eccentric landowner, it has become home to the only bookshop for miles around.
 
Rachel is an incomer to the village. She arrived five years ago and found a place she could call home. So when the owner of the Lighthouse Bookshop dies suddenly, she steps in to take care of the place, trying to help it survive the next stage of its life.
 
But when she discovers a secret in the lighthouse, long kept hidden, she realises there is more to the history of the place than she could ever imagine. Can she uncover the truth about the lighthouse’s first owner? And can she protect the secret history of the place?

My Review:

The Lighthouse Bookshop is an absorbing, heart warming read which I really enjoyed.

Firstly I’ve always had a bit of a fascination with lighthouses (maybe from loving Fraggle Rock as a kid?) so this book instantly appealed. I was instantly drawn into the story and into the fabulous group of friends that has built up around the bookshop. They were all very different to each other but I loved how the bookshop united them and how they supported each other. It’s a group of friends I’d definitely like to know in real life and be a part of.

The mystery side of the story was very interesting especially as it involved something I’d never heard of before. I spent lots of time googling it to try and find out more about it as it sounded so interesting! I loved the way the history of the lighthouse was gradually revealed and that we got to know more about the family behind the build too. There is a bit of everything in its story which helped make the story seem so real.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more from this author in future. It’s one of those books that lifted my spirits when reading and that I missed when I wasn’t able to read. I couldn’t wait to get a chance to go back and absorb myself back into their world. I’d absolutely love there to be a sequel as I’d love to find out what happens to the lighthouse and with Rachel and Toby too!

Book Synopsis:

Death is just the beginning…
 
The Skelf women live in the shadow of death every day, running the family funeral directors and private investigator business in Edinburgh. But now their own grief interwines with that of their clients, as they are left reeling by shocking past events.
 
A fist-fight by an open grave leads Dorothy to investigate the possibility of a faked death, while a young woman’s obsession with Hannah threatens her relationship with Indy and puts them both in mortal danger. An elderly man claims he’s being abused by the ghost of his late wife, while ghosts of another kind come back to haunt Jenny from the grave … pushing her to breaking point.
 
As the Skelfs struggle with increasingly unnerving cases and chilling danger lurks close to home, it becomes clear that grief, in all its forms, can be deadly…

My Review:

I’m a huge fan of this author, and this series, so I was very excited to be invited onto the blog tour for another visit to The Skelf family.

Firstly I loved being back with the fabulous Skelf Women who have started to feel like old friends throughout this series. The emotions of the family are almost palpable as they struggle with the events that happened in the last book. The author cleverly let’s the reader into the character’s minds so I felt I really understood everything that was happening with them. This made everything that was happening feel more real and made me feel more connected to the characters.

The book does start off a bit slowly as the reader reconnects with the family but soon gathers pace and becomes very intriguing. There are multiple threads running through the story which meant there was always something happening to keep my interest. One moment I was reading about a science discussion and the next helping with a missing person investigation which was very exciting.

Overall I really loved this book and thought it was a great addition to the series. There were lots of twists to keep me guessing and some shocking moments that had me gasping out loud. This is the fourth book in the series and it’s probably best to read the books in order, especially as the roots for some of the events in this book started in earlier books.

Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Orenda for my copy of this book.

Book Synopsis:

Amanda Prowse has built a bestselling career on the lives of fictional women. Now she turns the pen on her own life.

I guess the first question to ask is, what kind of woman am I? Well, you know those women who saunter into a room, immaculately coiffed and primped from head to toe?

If you look behind her, you’ll see me.

From her childhood, where there was no blueprint for success, to building a career as a bestselling novelist against all odds, Amanda Prowse explores what it means to be a woman in a world where popularity, slimness, beauty and youth are currency―and how she overcame all of that to forge her own path to happiness.

Sometimes heartbreaking, often hilarious and always entirely relatable, Prowse details her early struggles with self-esteem and how she coped with the frustrating expectations others had of how she should live. Most poignantly, she delves into her toxic relationship with food, the hardest addiction she has ever known, and how she journeyed out the other side.

One of the most candid memoirs you’re ever likely to read, Women Like Us provides welcome insight into how it is possible―against the odds―to overcome insecurity, body consciousness and the ubiquitous imposter syndrome to find happiness and success, from a woman who’s done it all, and then some.

My Review:

Women Like Us is a wonderfully written, honest and topical memoir that will stay with me for a long time.

Firstly let me start by saying that I’ve been a huge fan of this author for ages so I was hugely excited to read this book. She’s always been so lovely and supportive on social media and I was very intrigued to find out more about her.

Amanda writes beautifully and honestly about the struggles she’s experienced in her life which were very poignant to read about. Some of the problems were ones I could relate to, like the struggle with her weight which I remember feeling very subconscious about as a teenager. All of them were sensitively described though and will help to shed light on some difficult topics. I think I went through all of the emotions whilst reading sobbing one moment and then laughing the next.

Overall, as you can probably tell, I absolutely loved this book and will be recommending it to everyone. I feel it is an important book for all women to read as it helps you feel that you aren’t alone in your struggles and that you don’t have to follow the crowd. I feel I know Amanda much better now with this fascinating glimpse into her life.

Huge thanks to the lovely Kelly from Love Books Tours for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Amazon Publishing for my copy of this book.
