Good morning everyone I’m pleased to re-share my review of the fabulous Songs In Ursa Major to celebrate its paperback publication!

As you can probably tell from my review below I really enjoyed this book when I first read it and highly recommend it. There’s a playlist that you can listen to whilst reading which helped transport you to the late 60’s as you read.

Book Synopsis:

IT WAS THE SUMMER OF 1969

Rising singer-songwriters Jane Quinn and Jesse Reid looked untouchable.

Captivating crowds in festival meadows, lighting up turntables, intoxicating fans from coast to coast.

It was a connection that inspired the greatest love songs.

But nothing lasts forever.

Beneath the hits that made them, a dark secret threatened to break them. Now it’s time to hear the whole story, finally revealed in Jane’s iconic album, Songs in Ursa Major . . .

Songs In Ursa Major is available in all formats now. You can purchase your copy using the links below.

My Review:

Songs In Ursa Major is a brilliant, escaping read partly based on the real life relationship of James Taylor and Joni Mitchell.

Firstly I think this author does a great job of capturing the era with all the freedom and changes that it brought. My parent’s hay day was the 70’s so I grew up on lots of stories, and music, from that time which the book reminded me of. I so enjoyed following all the characters through this book and living precariously through them. I felt like I was able to experience the era a bit through them which was great as the 70’s is the era I’d like to be able to time travel back to.

The characters were brilliant, realistic characters that I found it easy to warm to. I particularly liked Jane as I admired her confidence and her willingness to stand up for herself. The sexism she experiences in the music industry made me very cross and I wanted to applaud her when she made a stand against it. Her relationship with Jessie was wonderfully, dreamy to read about, come on we’ve all dreamed about dating a rock star, and I found it very interesting to watch it develop. I liked that the author wasn’t afraid to put some darker plot twists into the book which made the book seem more realistic but also stopped it from being too sugary sweet and just about the budding romance between the two main characters.

The books has a great pace to it and I quickly found myself drawn into the story. I liked the huge contrast between the hectic, wild music scenes and the more gentle life on the island which helped refocus the reader at times. There was always something happening to keep my attention and some very dramatic moments which moved the story in a complete different direction. The ending was perfect in my opinion and I especially liked how everything wasn’t tied up in a bow but instead left at a realistic place.

This is the author’s debut novel and I’m very excited to read more from her in the future. There is a Spotify playlist with the same name as the book available on Spotify which is perfect to listen to whilst reading.

Huge thanks to Jen Harlow for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.

Book Synopsis:

In this emotional novel based on Greece’s real history we follow three generations of one family, broken apart by secrets and war, as Olivia travels to the island of her mother’s birth to piece together a century’s worth of her family’s past.


On the Greek island of Castellorizo young Sofía must put her big dreams on hold to support her older sister Maria with her large family. But World War II is looming and while the idyllic island may seem far from harm at first, there are unspeakable dangers on the horizon – perils that will change the sisters’ lives forever . . .


Devastated by her divorce and the death of her dear mum, Olivia seeks solace on Castellorizo. Her Granny Sofía fled the beautiful Greek island during the war, but Olivia knows little else about her family’s history. The only link to the Island she has left is her elderly great-uncle George. As his memory begins to fail, Olivia feels her one chance at uncovering the truth about her grandmother start to slip away.


As a mother’s sacrifice echoes throughout the generations, will Olivia discover some things are best left in the past?

My Review:

I’m a huge fan of this author so I was very excited to be invited onto the blog tour for this her latest book. Once again the author has written an intriguing, emotional book that I thoroughly enjoyed!

Firstly I loved the beautiful descriptions of the Greek Island Casterllorizo which were strikingly vivid, often making me feel like I was actually there witnessing everything for myself. The author also includes a bit of information about Greek Culture and traditions which was especially fascinating to find out more about. I’d definitely like to visit the Greek Islands one day.

The story is told in two time lines one following Sophia through the second world war and the other following her grandaughter Olivia as she tries to find out more about her grandmother and her family history. I must admit to enjoying Sophia’s story a bit more as it was fascinating to learn more about the Greek Islands role during the war. I had no idea that they were occupied by Italy and that they weren’t allowed to speak Greek during the occupation. Some of the events described in this book are quite gruesome and really heartbreaking at times, more so because the reader know them to be true. That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy Olivia’s story though. It was interesting to follow her connecting with and learning more about her family. I liked how Olivia finds out something in the present day and then the reader is taken back in time to learn more about it, I thought that was very clever.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be recommending it to others. The slow reveal of secrets was tantalisingly done and I soon found myself so wrapped up in the story that it was very hard to put down. It is much more then the easy beach read you might expect as some of the events are very hard hitting. There are some slower moments in the book, but do keep reading as things soon pick up again.

The ending and final reveal was brilliant and I closed the book with a happy, contented sigh. Huge thanks to Tracy Fenton for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Zaffre for my copy of this read.

Lesley Bannatyne: Ten Things About Me

1-I received my first rejection letter when I was six.
I printed the text for “Flowers for Mother” on lined yellow paper and drew the cover in crayon, but despite my best efforts, a Chicago publishing house chose not to go forward with it. I was in first grade, and they were very kind.

2-I was part of a small theater company for over 20 years.
I think the experience of taking on roles and writing plays helped me develop the fictional characters in my stories; I empathize with all of them, good or not-so-good (i.e.., once got to play Lady MacBeth).

3-I was a stringer for the Boston Globe for several years
I loved interviewing people: Buddhist leaders, Bobbie Burns Night celebrants, local druids, movie prop makers, baseball pitchers, Noh actors, bird watchers. Details from those experiences often work their way into my fiction.

4- An early version of Unaccustomed to Grace was my master’s thesis.
I received a master’s in Creative Writing from Harvard University Extension Studies, where I had the good fortune to work with amazing writing mentors and colleagues.

5-I worked on the stories in Grace for almost eight years.
That is, I started writing the first of them eight years ago and wrote 3-4 each year. Writing is like sculpting for me: the first draft is very rough, and it takes many revisions to see what I’m really writing about and how it should be shaped.

6-I read short stories constantly.
Other short story writers inspire me no end: Tessa Hadley, Lauren Groff, Willa Cather, and always Alice Munro.

7-Most people think of writing as a solo effort – something between the writer and her keyboard. I’ve found there are lots of collaborative parts. My writing group reads and critiques my work, as does my poet husband. Each story is a bit of a conversation, both in the writing process and in what happens between author and reader.

8-Before Grace, I wrote books on the folklore and celebration of American Halloween. My most recent, Halloween Nation, sent me out on ghost hunts and haunted hayrides, to witch ceremonies, pumpkin beer brew-pubs, Halloween craft shows and more. In my two years of research, I never met an unfriendly Halloween fanatic.

9-I am a surdo player (it’s a Brazilian bass drum played with mallets).
My band, SheBoom, is described as a post-menopausal, Brazilian-inspired, vocal and percussion ensemble. Our rehearsals are hilarious, and a high point of every week.

10- My daughter just had a daughter!

Book Synopsis:

Who is The Knock-Knock Man? A ghost, a killer, or the figment of a frightened boy’s imagination?

It is a question that continues to haunt disgraced New Salstone police officer, Ali Davenport, fifteen months after the devastating case that changed the course of her life. Now, after the death of her former colleague, Ernie, Ali has returned home to face a past that won’t stay buried.

Found in the disused office building where he worked as night security, Ernie’s death has been ruled as a suicide. But not everyone is convinced. Wild stories are circulating about a supernatural presence in the building, an entity that might have attacked Ernie that fateful night. With the sale of the building about to go through, Ali is hired by its owner to work Ernie’s remaining night shifts and debunk the potentially damaging story. An easy enough job, if you don’t believe in ghosts. But then Ali meets Will, a teenage ghost hunter who claims to have evidence on film…

Forming an unlikely partnership, Ali and Will soon fall headlong into a mystery that takes them through New Salstone’s macabre history and into Ali’s own dark past. As the pieces of the puzzle come together, Ali is forced to face the question of The Knock-Knock Man one last time. But what Ali doesn’t know is The Knock-Knock Man has already been watching her for a very long time…

My Review:

The Knock-Knock Man is a dark, atmospheric read which I thought was very entertaining!

Firstly I love books involving folklore so this book instantly appealed to me. The Knock-Knock Man is a sinister legend that helped pray on an old fear of mine about something scary knocking on my window at night . It was interesting learning more about him even though there were many times throughout the book where random noises made me jump as I was reading. Note to self this is not a good book to read during a storm.

The book unravels at a steady place with little clues peppered throughout the text which helped keep my interest. It was fun to follow Ali & Will on their investigation and I enjoyed reading about the partnership they form. The ending was very exciting and kept me guessing until the end. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Huge thanks to Lizzie from Red Door Press for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.

Wrong Place Wrong Time is out in hardback and ebook now. You can purchase your copy using the links below.

My Review:

Wrong Place Wrong Time is an incredibly addictive, intriguing read that I just couldn’t put down. It’s going to be a hard book to review as I don’t want to give anything away.

The story starts the day of the murder and then goes back in time as Jen tries to discover the reason behind why her gentle, science loving son committed a murder. The jumps in time start off slow but soon get a lot bigger as Jen goes further back in time. Jen’s story is intertwined with a new police officer called Ryan who is investigating a suspected crime ring.

I thought all the characters were very well drawn and I enjoyed slowly getting to know more about them as the book went on. It was especially interesting to learn something about the character’s in the past which helped me to make sense of their actions in the future. I really felt for Jen as her anguish over what happened was almost palpable at times. As a parent I understood the guilt she felt about some of her past decisions as I’ve often wished I could turn back time sometimes with the kids. I found it quite thought provoking at times too as it helped me feel better about my own parenting.

I thought this book was fantastically plotted and I soon found myself drawn into the story. There were lots of subtle clues for the reader to find and lots of twists that took me completely my surprise, though I did guess one fairly early on but that didn’t stop me enjoying the book as I had to keep reading to find out if I was right. The last 50 pages were partially actioned packed and I absolutely loved the way it ended! It’s a book I’ve continued to think about long after reading and I’ve had to keep dipping back into the book to re-read certain sections!

Huge thanks to Ellie from Michael St Joseph for my copy of this book.

How To Listen:

Sunflower Seeds is, as the young people say, a complete bop! It is such a fantastic, catchy tune that gets stuck in your head and never fails to make me happy. I particularly like the way it changes between the verse and the chorus. It’s going to be a great song to listen to in the garden this summer with a cool drink.

Joshua Woo: “I wrote Sunflower Seeds as a message of hope for anyone who needs it. The world has been a real crazy place for a while now and instead of just pointing that out I wanted to write something that could bring people some joy. It’s very interpretative though and I’m really happy for anyone to get what they want from the lyrics.”

Lyrics:

I will take the time
Start planting the sunflower seeds
Maybe they will
Grow to watch over me
Digging up the weeds
You got to let the light shine free
Get your hands dirty
Until you can afford to be clean

Sunshine
I’ve been waiting on the breeze

Book Synopsis:

The City of London, 1678. New Year’s Day. The body of a young boy, drained of his blood and with a sequence of numbers inscribed on his skin, is discovered on the snowy bank of the Fleet River. With London gripped by hysteria, where rumors of Catholic plots and sinister foreign assassins abound, Sir Edmund Bury Godfrey, the powerful Justice of Peace for Westminster, is certain of Catholic guilt in the crime. He enlists Robert Hooke, the Curator of Experiments of the Royal Society, and his assistant, Harry Hunt, to help his enquiry. Sir Edmund confides to Hooke that the bloodless boy is not the first to have been discovered. He also presents Hooke with a cipher that was left on the body. That same morning Henry Oldenburg, the Secretary of the Royal Society, blows his brains out. A disgraced Earl is released from the Tower of London, bent on revenge against the King, Charles II. Wary of the political hornet’s nest they are walking into – and using evidence rather than paranoia in their pursuit of truth – Hooke and Hunt must discover why the boy was murdered, and why his blood was taken. Moreover, what does the cipher mean?

The Bloodless Boy is available in ebook and hardback now. You can purchase your copy using the links below.

My Review:

The Bloodless Boy is an absolutely fascinating and gripping read from a new author for me. The book itself is stunning to look at with beautiful end papers and special edges that make it seem like the book is in fact much older then it is.

Firstly the author has clearly done a lot of research into this period and I soon found myself transported to 17th Century London. Everything is vividly described and I really felt that I could picture it in my minds eye and even smell the grime at one point. I must admit to not knowing much about this time period so I eagerly drank in every little detail. It was especially interesting to see the arguments between science and religion at this time as science became more researched and the churches reaction as more people turned away from religion.

This story had a little bit of everything in it which helps keep the readers attention throughout the book. There are moments of in depth investigation, some very exciting chases and even some touching moments as we see how the characters are affected by all that is happening. There descriptions of some of the medical procedures they used to read were rather gruesome at times though I found it very intriguing to learn more about. I can’t believe that some people thought they’d cure anything using these methods.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and I am now very excited to read the sequel. The writing is very clever with lots of twist and turns in the story which kept me on my toes. One of the things I most liked about the story was the way the author leaves subtle clues throughout the book as to who the murderer is so it felt at times like I was actually involved in the investigation myself. The final reveal was a great surprise but when thinking about it after reading I realised that actually there were moments in the book where I should have guessed who was behind it all. I’d love to re-read it again soon knowing the ending to figure out where I should have guessed earlier.

Huge thanks to Nikki from Melville House for inviting me onto the special 20 Year of Melville House Blog tour and for my copy of this beautiful book.

About The Author:

Robert Lloyd, the son of parents who worked in the British Foreign Office, grew up in South London, Innsbruck, and Kinshasa. He studied for a Fine Art degree, starting as a landscape painter, but it was while studying for his MA degree in The History of Ideas that he first read Robert Hooke’s diary, detailing the life and experiments of this extraordinary man. After a 20-year career as a secondary school teacher, he has now returned to painting and writing. The Bloodless Boy is his debut novel. He is at work on a sequel.

Book Synopsis:

Grief is like an inside joke: you have to have been there to really get it.

The only things Cassandra knows about her family are the stories she’s heard in snatches over the years: about the aunt and cousin she never got to meet, about the man from the folded-up photograph in one of her aunt’s drawers, and of course about her cousin Chevy, and why he never speaks – but no one utters a word about them any more.

When a call from one of her sisters brings Cassandra news of Chevy’s death, she has to return home for the funeral. To Toronto and the big house on Florence Street, where her sisters are hiding more than themselves in their rooms, where the tension brewing between her mother and aunts has been decades in the making, and where sooner or later every secret, unspoken word and painful memory will find its way out into the open.

Moving between Toronto and Trinidad, Wild Fires is a vivid and compelling story exploring the ways we mourn and why we avoid the very things that can save us.

Wild Fires is available in ebook and hardback now. You can purchase your copy using the links below.

My Review:

Wild Fires is a beautifully written, emotional and moving book that is hard to believe is a debut novel.

Firstly I found it fascinating to get to know the family throughout the years and find out what had happened in their past. From the moment we first meet them you can sense the friction and resentment there is between them which immediately intrigued me as I love books that deal with family dynamics. There are some very sad stories involved which were very emotional to read about and made me really feel for the characters as their hurt is almost palpable some times.

This is a book primarily about grief however and I found it interesting to learn more about the subject and the different types of ways people can grieve. It was interesting to learn that the family’s actions were caused by grief and that they had somehow got stuck in their grief and couldn’t quite let go of all their pain. I wanted to go into the book and give them all a big hug and try to help them through everything.

The family are originally from Trinidad but emigrate to Canada and I loved the authors vivid descriptions of the two countries. It was especially interesting to learn more about Trinidad and they way of life there, particularly all the fabulous sounding food! I’d love to visit there one day and experience it all for myself.

The story does start off slow as the author sets the scene and lets the reader learn more about the family but I soon became immersed into the story. The story is told in multiple time lines as we learn more more about the families history which was a little confusing at the beginning but I soon got used to it. There are lots of characters to get used to but the author has cleverly included a family tree at the beginning of the book which was a great reference point to me as it helped me keep track of who was who. I’m now very interest to read more from this author in the future.

Huge thanks to Susanne from Harper Collins for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.

Book Synopsis:

A luxury resort. Three missing women. One body.

When young London professional Alex Evans is informed that his sister’s body has been pulled from an icy lake in Northern Lapland, he assumes his irresponsible sister accidentally drowned. He travels to the wealthy winter resort where Vicky worked as a tour-guide and meets Agatha Koskinen, the detective in charge. Agatha is a no-nonsense single mother of three who already thinks there’s more to Vicky’s case than meets the eye.

As the two form an unlikely alliance, Alex also begins to suspect the small town where his sister lived and died is harbouring secrets. It’s not long before he learns that three other women have gone missing from the area in the past and that his sister may have left him a message.

On the surface, Koppe, Lapland is a winter wonderland. But in this remote, frozen place, death seems only ever a heartbeat away.

The Last To Disappear is available in ebook and hardback now. You can purchase your copy using the link below.

My Review:

Wow another gripping, atmospheric read that is chillingly addictive. It’s going to be a difficult book to review as I don’t want to give anything away!

The story is told in two time lines. In the present day we follow Agatha and Alex as they try to find out what happened to Vicky and some other local ladies who have gone missing and in the past where we meet an interesting lady called Kaya who is registering a missing person. The author does a great job of setting the scene, using the situation to create tension and atmosphere in both which I though was very clever. In the present day its the snow which causes a chilling, claustrophobic atmosphere and in the past its the small town setting where I was never sure who to trust. The story moves between the two timelines seamlessly and I found that I enjoyed both equally which is unusual for me.

The two detectives where great characters who I really enjoyed following throughout the book and solving the case with. They both seemed very real characters, who have flaws and a lot of stuff going on in their personal lives which is always interesting to unpick. I warmed to them instantly and wanted to keep reading to learn more about them.

Overall I loved this book and can’t wait to read more from this talented author. I was quickly drawn into the story and found the book very hard to put down as there always seemed to be something happening. There are lots of twists and turns which kept me guessing and the end reveal took me completely by surprise which I always love as I normally can guess.

Huge thanks to Millie Reed for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book which I’m putting on my keep forever shelf. Highly recommended!
