My Review:

Someone Is Lying is a fantastic, dark and thoroughly addictive thriller which I so enjoyed reading.

Firstly I loved the characters, even though they were a fairly unlikeable bunch individually, they made for very interesting reading when they were together in a group. They are all very different and it was fascinating to learn more about them and the role they played in the group. The author cleverly reveals the truth about them and the secrets they hide which is tantalisingly done and ensured that I kept reading as I wanted to find out what would happen. They all seemed quite true to life and I found myself smiling at some of the descriptions of them as I recognised a few from school pick up. My favourite was definitely Miranda as she reminded me of myself. I loved some of the parenting hacks that she does to get by which often had me laughing out loud

The reader is kept guessing as to who the murderer was and the author cleverly casts doubt on each character throughout the book as we learn more about them. I was gripped from the beginning with the short chapters and the multiple points of view making for very interesting, fast reading. I found myself hiding away from the children trying to read just one more chapter!

The podcast gives the story a modern twist and further helped make the story seem realistic. I enjoyed the way it helped add to the tension and the parts where the group sit down to listen together were some of my favourite as I felt they were quite telling. They helped me feel quite involved in the story and I felt like I was actually there listening along with them.

My Review:

I so enjoyed this book, by a new author for me, and I will be recommending it to everyone. It’s an absolutely fascinating, gripping story of a part of world war two I didn’t know about. I read a lot of books based in this period so I always love it when I discover something new. I happily spent a few hours on the internet reading up all about it.

I really loved the main character Harry, yes he can be a bit arrogant sometimes but he also had quite a sweet, caring side which made me warm to him quickly. He is very good at his job and his clever, brave exploits ensured I was glued to the page. I so wanted him to succeed and prove to all the doubters that he could do it. I had to keep reading to see what happens to him.

The book is told from multiple points of view but they can be simply divided into a German and British view. This made for very interesting reading and it was great to learn more about how some of the Germans felt at that time which was a critical turning point in the war. It also helped add to the tension as sometimes you knew something would be happening before the characters which made the book very gripping.

This book is incredibly fast paced with lots going on to keep me entertained. I found myself quickly drawn into the story and I found the historical detail fascinating. This was the first book I’ve read by this author and I’m very excited to read more from him in the future. If you are a fan of historical thrillers or books based in world war two you’ll love this book.

Book Synopsis:

Welcome to the Panacea Society, a terribly English cult…

Dilys is a devoted member of The Panacea Society, populated almost entirely by virtuous single ladies.

When she strikes up a friendship with Grace, a new recruit, God finally seems to be smiling upon her. The friends become closer as they wait for the Lord to return to their very own Garden of Eden, and Dilys feels she has found the right path at last.

But Dilys is wary of their leader’s zealotry and suspicious of those who would seem to influence her for their own ends. As her feelings for Grace bud and bloom, the Society around her begins to crumble. Faith is supplanted by doubt as both women come to question what is true and fear what is real.

The Rapture is available in hardback and ebook now. You can see a copy of both using the link below.

My Review:

The Rapture is a creepy, thought provoking and entertaining read which is based on real fascinating events. I always love when this happens as it’s so interesting to be able to look things up on the internet and look at picture to bring the story to life. Cults have always held a lot of intrigue for me as I’m fascinated to learn how they can influence people like they do. The Panacea Society was extra interesting as it was the first British cult I’d heard of and I couldn’t believe such a thing had happened on my home turf!

The story is told mainly from Grace and Dily’s point of view with the reader getting a fly on the wall look at cult life and the budding relationship between the two girls. I really enjoyed getting to know the two characters and watching their relationship flourish. I warmed to them immediately and wanted them to succeed and have a happy ending.

There is a lot of tension in the book mainly caused by the feeling of uncertainty of what the cult could do next. It was also quite a moving story as we follow the girls as they get to know who they are and discover love. I felt the story was truly compelling and loved going on the journey through the daily life of the cult.

This is the author’s debut novel and I’m excited to read more from her in the future. If you like fascinating books based on real events then you’ll love this book.

Book Synopsis:

One dark January night a car drives at high speed towards PI Varg Veum, and comes very close to killing him. Veum is certain this is no accident, following so soon after the deaths of two jailed men who were convicted for their participation in a case of child pornography and sexual assault … crimes that Veum himself once stood wrongly accused of committing.

While the guilty men were apparently killed accidentally, Varg suspects that there is something more sinister at play … and that he’s on the death list of someone still at large.

Fearing for his life, Veum begins to investigate the old case, interviewing the victims of abuse and delving deeper into the brutal crimes, with shocking results. The wolves are no longer in the dark … they are at his door. And they want vengeance.

Wolves At The Door is published in ebook and paperback on the 13th June 2019. You can pre-order your copy using the link below.

My Review:

The Wolves At The Door is another fantastic, dark and gritty thriller from this talented author.

The thing I most like about this author is how he manages to combine an exciting thriller with an emotional story to great affect. The emotions of everyone involved from the criminals to the children’s families is included into the story which makes it seem very realistic. It also makes for quite heartbreaking and difficult reading at times as the reader feels so involved in the story. There is one quite emotional bit in the book which made me put the book down for a little bit as it was so intense.

The author does a great job of setting the scene in this book and the city of Benn is vividly described so that I could clearly envision it. It is obvious that the author loves his country and I had to smile at times as I felt I could almost hear his enthusiasm for it. It definitely sounds like a beautiful country and I’ve added it to my list of places I’d like to visit.

The book is quite fast paced and there is always lots going on to keep the reader interested. There is a feeling that anything might happen and a feeling of unease running through the book which kept me gripped and often sent a shiver down the spine. Unfortunately this type of crime seems to be on the rise and this helped make the story even more hard hitting as you realise the characters experience could have been experienced in real life.

This is the second book in the series and while it could be read as a standalone it’s probably best to read the books in order as you will understand Varg’s past more.

Book Synopsis:

When Louise is dumped by Mike on their twentieth wedding anniversary, she faces the daunting task of picking up the pieces of her life. She can either choose to persevere in her adopted hometown of London, bolstered by dear friends and the fashion business she loves, or return to her native Sweden alone. Can she find happiness with an old flame in a city she avoided for two decades? Or will her ex’s violent, criminal past haunt her forever?

We Never Said Goodbye is available in ebook and paperback now. The ebook is currently only £1.99. You can purchase a copy of both using the link below.

My Review:

This was a compelling, emotional read which I found hard to put down. The author takes the reader on a drama filled journey with some interesting characters.

I really felt for poor Louise, I know from my mum (we lost my dad ten years ago) how hard it is to start over again so I sympathised with everything she was going through. It was heartwarming to see how her friends rallied round her and I enjoyed watching her journey from despair to hope. From the beginning I was completely on her side and I wanted to keep reading to make sure she was ok. In contrast Mike is a despicable character who I absolutely loathed. What an uncaring, callous, selfish man he was. How be could do that to the lovely Louise was beyond me and I read the story getting increasingly angry with him.

There is a great pace to this book and lots of drama to keep the reader firmly glued to the page. The author manages to combine a lot of different themes including love, abuse and violence to make a fantastic, thrilling story. The ending was very satisfying and I liked how everyone got the ending I felt they deserved!

Book Synopsis:

All trees have a story.

Holly Worton has spent the last few years talking to trees – the birches, the oaks, the beeches and the sycamores.

You’re probably wondering:  How is it that trees can talk?  Is this for real?

Trees are living, breathing organisms which humans are able to connect and talk to on a deeper level through silent, telepathic communication.

Trees have a much broader perspective on life compared to humans.  Trees can live hundreds and even thousands of years.

This means Trees have thousands of years of wisdom that we’re able to tap into.  Talking to the trees can bring us back to our true selves and can reflect back to us the things we need to see in ourselves.  It can also be a space for deep healing.

Living in the technology age, however, we spend our lives connected to computers, mobile phones, and video games. Consequently, we’ve become increasingly disconnected from ourselves and from Nature.

This book is meant to gently encourage you to get back to Nature and turn to the magic and the wisdom of the trees. By reconnecting to Nature, you can improve your relationship with yourself, which will help you make better, more aligned choices in your life.

This book is for you if:

• You love Nature and the outdoors.
• You feel like there’s something more to life, but you don’t know what that is.
• You’re feeling disconnected from yourself, like your life has somehow gotten off track.
• You feel like you don’t really know who you are anymore… or maybe you’ve never truly known yourself at all.
• Life is going just fine, but you have the notion things could be much better.

Throughout this book, you’ll follow the author, Holly Worton on a journey of connecting on a deeper level with the wisdom of the trees. You’ll hear their stories, and you’ll be given a series of experiments to carry out, should you choose to do so. These will help you to connect with yourself through connecting with Nature, and they’ll open you up to the deep wisdom and healing that the trees can offer.

The trees will help you to get out of your head and into your body, so you can feel more deeply and truly experience all the JOY that life has to offer. They’ll add a new level of richness to your life that you have never thought possible.

If Trees Could Talk is available in ebook and paperback now. You can purchase your copy of both using the link below.

My Review:

I’ve always been intrigued by the concept of trees and what they could have seen or experienced so this book instantly appealed to me. If Trees Could Talk is a magical, fascinating look into what we could learn from trees.

I so enjoyed reading this book and felt my stress and worries leaving me the more I read. I felt I could picture the beautiful forests and woods that the author visits in my mind. I could see all the different shades of green, with perhaps the sun coming through the trees which made me feel very relaxed.

The book starts with an interesting introduction from the author which explains what she is hoping to get from the book which was very helpful. The rest of the book is divided into chapters which each focus on a different type of tree and a different life lesson that we could learn from these. I found these observations very insightful and they have given me food for thought for things that I could perhaps improve in my own life.

The author hopes to encourage people to spend more time out doors and this book has definitely reawakened my love for the outdoors. The focus on the healing properties that being out in the natural world could offer was very insightful and in this busy world easy to overlook. It’s something that I think more people should be made aware of and I’m excited to spend more time outside soon with the kids.

She’s originally from California and now lives in the Surrey Hills, but has also lived in Spain, Costa Rica, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina. Holly is a member of the Druid order OBOD.

Holly ran her first business for ten years, building it up to become a multi-million-dollar enterprise. When she went into the coaching world she was confident that she had the business and marketing skills she needed to set up a new company. And she did – but she struggled to grow her new venture quickly because she encountered fears, blocks, and limiting beliefs that she didn’t even know she had. 

She discovered that pushing forward and taking action just wasn’t enough. She needed to transform her mindset and release her blocks, as this was the only way to take the right actions to move her new business forward. Thus began her journey of intense personal development through deep mindset work, which transformed her existing coaching business into a focus on helping people with their business mindset. 

Eventually, she realized that she wanted to devote her time to helping people through her writing, and she let go of her mindset business to focus on her books. Now, Holly continues to write about mindset, long-distance walking, and connecting to Nature.

Book Synopsis:

Walter struggles to give her the affection and guidance she needs, without succumbing to her budding sexuality. In the year before she enters high school, these two lonely souls will transform each other as Walter breaks out of his emotional shell, and Amanda blossoms into adolescence.
In a world that has always failed to protect its most vulnerable, The Best of Crimes is a new narrative and an unconventional love story that will challenge your perception of right and wrong.

The Best Of Crimes is available in ebook and paperback now. You can purchase your copy of this book using the link.

My Review:

The Best Of Crimes is a powerful, emotional book which tackles a very difficult subject. It’s taken me a while to write this review as I wasn’t completely sure how I felt about it.

The book is beautifully written and the story instantly draws the reader into the story. There are some great characters that I loved to hate, especially Walter who I was very confused by. He seems such a nice likeable guy who seems to realise that his infatuation with Amanda is wrong but can’t seem to stop feeling the way he does. I found myself almost feeling sorry for him at some points until I remembered what he was doing. The secondary characters of Walter’s ex wife and Amanda’s mum were just as interesting and helped to bring an interesting slant to the story as it became clear how easy it is for such a relationship to go unnoticed. I can’t believe the pairs casual attitude to Walter and Amanda’s relationship as if it was my daughter alarm bells would be ringing everywhere. The pair actually made me quite cross and I found them to be very frustrating. I wished I could go into the book to have a stern word with both of them.

The author manages to write about a difficult subject with great sensitivity and without trying to shock the reader which makes the story very realistic. Some of the parts of the book made for very uncomfortable reading and I did find myself skipping parts as I couldn’t read them. However at other times I found myself almost routing for the couple and wanting their relationship to succeed, before remembering what was happening. I went through a range of quite strong emotions whilst reading this which I think shows the quality of the writing as I think it takes a lot of skill to make a reader feel that way.

My Review:

I am a huge fan of this author so I was completely honoured and thrilled to be invited onto the blog tour for, sadly, this her last book. It’s a book I made sure I read in peace and quiet, savouring ever word .

The book is set in and around Kingfisher Close which is a wonderful sounding community that I’d love to be a part of. I so enjoyed reading about the lives the woman had, seeing how close they were and how they supported each other. The reader is given a fly on the wall glimpse into all the drama and action so I felt that I was actually there experiencing it first hand or as one of the dreaded curtain twitches the woman loathe!

The characters are all well written and developed with each one bringing something different to the group. Throughout the book we learn more about each if them and their histories which made me warm to them. I found I liked all of the characters equally but I maybe leaned more towards Maia as I sympathised with her having teenagers as the attitude I get from my six year old is more than enough! Seeing all the characters function so well as a group was really heartwarming and led to my favourite interactions in the book.

The author’s easy style just draws the reader into the book and there is plenty happening to keep the reader thoroughly entertained. I grew very fond of the characters and wanted to simultaneously keep reading to find out what happens and slow down as I didn’t want it to end.

Book Synopsis:

Ethan Scofield returns to the place of his birth to bury his father. Hidden in one of the upstairs rooms of the old man’s house he finds a strange manuscript, a collection of stories that seems to cover the whole of his father’s turbulent life.

As his own life starts to unravel, Ethan works his way through the manuscript, trying to find answers to the mysteries that have plagued him since he was a child. What happened to his little brother? Why was his mother taken from him?

And why, in the end, when there was no one else left, did his own father push him away?

Swinging from the coral cays of the Caribbean to the dangerous deserts of Yemen and the wild rivers of Africa, Turbulent Wake is a bewitching, powerful and deeply moving story of love and loss … of the indelible damage we do to those closest to us and, ultimately, of the power of redemption in a time of change.

Turbulent Change is available in ebook and paperback now. You can purchase a copy of both using the link below.

My Review:

Wow what an amazing change in pace for this talented author! The blurb says that it is a major change in direction but I didn’t think it would be such a dramatic or well worked one! Turbulent Wake is a beautifully written and atmospheric read that will stay with me for a long time. From the author’s blurb I think this was a personal book for him and I think this shows in the passion with which this book is written.

The story alternates between past and present revealing a complicated and emotional father-son relationship that Ethan had with his father, Warren. In the past chapters we learn more about Warren’s life and the experiences that shaped him. I liked the way that the author slowly allows the reader to get to know him and to form their own opinions about him. I especially liked the parts where Warren’s version of events contrast sharply with Ethan’s own memories of how they happened. I thought this was truly thought provoking and confirmed my belief that all parents are just human. Warren has definitely had some amazing experiences and it was great to see Ethan slowly gain understand and acceptance as to who his father was.

This book starts off slow but soon gathers pace as we start to learn more about the characters and about Warren’s experiences. The author’s vivid descriptions are wonderful and I felt like I had a fly on the wall view of everything that was happening. He writes with great passion and is able to convey the emotions his characters may be feeling beautifully so that they are almost palpable. His ability to switch from describing a love scene to a war scene showed great skill particularly as he managed to make both very realistic.

Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Orenda books for my copy of this book. If you like emotional, atmospheric books that manages to cover lots of different genres then you’ll love this book!

Book Synopsis:

Autumn 1920. When Bernard Cavalier, a flamboyant London artist, marries Evie Brunton, a beautiful Devon post lady, everyone expects a happy ending. But Evie misses cycling down country lanes, delivering the mail, and is finding it hard to adapt to her new life among Mayfair’s high society. Meanwhile Bernard, now a well-known artist, is struggling to give up his bachelor ways.
The Wrong Direction is as light and witty as The Wrong Envelope, with racy characters and a fast-paced plot. Wild parties, flirtatious models, jealous friends – Bernard and Evie must negotiate many twists and turns if they are to hold on to each other…

The Wrong Envelope is available in ebook and paperback now. You can see a copy of both using the link below.

My Review:

I was a big fan of this author’s first book so I was incredibly excited to be invited onto the blog tour for the sequel. It was so nice to catch up with the fabulous Bernard and Evie again and to to see what happens next for them.

The story starts where The Wrong Envelope left of and we catch up with the couple as they are newly married but struggling with married life. I liked how realistic this bit was as I think it would have been easy for the author to write a happy ever after, sugar coated ending. Instead the characters struggle to fit into their new roles, lives and how to live together which is true with real life.

Once again my favourite character out of the two of them was Bernard who it’s hard not to love. I think I felt a lot of sympathy for him as he is accident probe like me and very good at putting his foot in it without meaning to, which I’m also good at. However he has a heart of gold and doesn’t mean any harm which made him easy to like.

The author’s easy style just drew me back into the story and the characters lives like I hadn’t left it. I felt at times like I was watching an old black and white movie as the story had a nostalgic feel to it. The 20s has always been one of my for favourite eras so I enjoyed the descriptions of life back then. I found myself fully absorbed in the book and want to keep reading to find out what happens to the couple. I really hope this isn’t the last we’ll see if Evie and Bernard.
