You Can’t See Me by Eva Ægisdóttir

A wealthy Icelandic family is investigated and dark secrets are exposed when a body is found on the lava fields outside the hotel where they’ve gathered for a reunion … the chilling, gripping prequel to the addictive Forbidden Iceland series
 
The wealthy, powerful Snæberg clan has gathered for a family reunion at a futuristic hotel set amongst the dark lava flows of Iceland’s remote Snæfellsnes peninsula.
 
Petra Snæberg, a successful interior designer, is anxious about the event, and her troubled teenage daughter, Lea, whose social-media presence has attracted the wrong kind of followers. Ageing carpenter Tryggvi is an outsider, only tolerated because he’s the boyfriend of Petra’s aunt, but he’s struggling to avoid alcohol because he knows what happens when he drinks … Humble hotel employee, Irma, is excited to meet this rich and famous family and observe them at close quarters … perhaps too close…
 
As the weather deteriorates and the alcohol flows, one of the guests disappears, and it becomes clear that there is a prowler lurking in the dark.
 
But is the real danger inside … within the family itself?
 
Masterfully cranking up the suspense, Eva Björg Ægisdóttir draws us into an isolated, frozen setting, where nothing is as it seems and no one can be trusted, as the dark secrets and painful pasts of the Snæberg family are uncovered … and the shocking truth revealed.

Multan, Pakistan. A conservative city where an unmarried woman over the age of twenty-five is considered a curse by her family.
 
Ayesha is twenty-seven. Independent and happily single, she has evaded an arranged marriage because of her family’s reduced circumstances. When she catches the eye of powerful, wealthy Raza, it seems like the answer to her parents’ prayers. But Ayesha is in love with someone else, and when she refuses to give up on him, Raza resorts to unthinkable revenge…
 
Ayesha travels to London to rebuild her life and there she meets Kamil, an emotionally damaged man who has demons of his own. They embark on a friendship that could mean salvation for both of them, but danger stalks Ayesha in London, too. With her life thrown into turmoil, she is forced to make a decision that could change her and everyone she loves forever.
 
Exquisitely written, populated by unforgettable characters and rich with poignant, powerful themes, Someone Like Her is a story of love and family, of corruption and calamity, of courage and hope … and one woman’s determination to thwart convention and find peace, at whatever cost…

Thirty Days Of Darkness by Jenny Lund Madsen

Copenhagen author Hannah is the darling of the literary community and her novels have achieved massive critical acclaim. But nobody actually reads them, and frustrated by writer’s block, Hannah has the feeling that she’s doing something wrong.
 
When she expresses her contempt for genre fiction, Hanna is publicly challenged to write a crime novel in thirty days. Scared that she will lose face, she accepts, and her editor sends her to Húsafjöður – a quiet, tight-knit village in Iceland, filled with colourful local characters – for inspiration.

But two days after her arrival, the body of a fisherman’s young son is pulled from the water … and what begins as a search for plot material quickly turns into a messy and dangerous investigation that threatens to uncover secrets that put everything at risk … including Hannah…
 
Atmospheric, dramatic and full of nerve-jangling twists and turns, Thirty Days of Darkness is a darkly funny, unsettling debut Nordic Noir thriller that marks the start of a breath-taking new series.

The Fascination by Essie Fox

Victorian England. A world of rural fairgrounds and glamorous London theatres. A world of dark secrets and deadly obsessions…

Twin sisters Keziah and Tilly Lovell are identical in every way, except that Tilly hasn’t grown a single inch since she was five. Coerced into promoting their father’s quack elixir as they tour the country fairgrounds, at the age of fifteen the girls are sold to a mysterious Italian known as ‘Captain’.

Theo is an orphan, raised by his grandfather, Lord Seabrook, a man who has a dark interest in anatomical freaks and other curiosities … particularly the human kind. Resenting his grandson for his mother’s death in childbirth, when Seabrook remarries and a new heir is produced, Theo is forced to leave home without a penny to his name.

Theo finds employment in Dr Summerwell’s Museum of Anatomy in London, and here he meets Captain and his theatrical ‘family’ of performers, freaks and outcasts.

But it is Theo’s fascination with Tilly and Keziah that will lead all of them into a web of deceits, exposing the darkest secrets and threatening everything they know…

Exploring universal themes of love and loss, the power of redemption and what it means to be unique, The Fascination is an evocative, glittering and bewitching gothic novel that brings alive Victorian London – and darkness and deception that lies beneath…

Book Synopsis:

More than two hundred feet below the surface, engineer Will Kent and his eleven-year-old daughter Shannon are waist-deep in water and fighting for their lives.

Their only chance at survival is an elite rescue team on the surface led by professional diver Chris Kent – Shannon’s mother and Will’s soon-to-be ex-wife – who must work together with Will to find a way to save their daughter and rescue the passengers from the sealed airplane, which is now teetering on the edge of an undersea cliff.

There’s not much time.

There’s even less air.

With devastating emotional power and heart-stopping suspense, Drowning is an unforgettable thriller about a family’s desperate fight to save themselves and the people trapped with them – against impossible odds.

My Review:

Drowning is a thrilling , addictive and gripping read that I raced through in a couple of days.

I felt quickly drawn into the story and into the, quite frankly, terrifying situation, the characters find themselves in. I’m not a fan of the ocean and I get a bit claustrophobic so this was a nightmare situation for me. I really felt for the characters as their fear was almost palpable. I could feel myself getting more tense and anxious on their behalf as I read.

There are some fabulous characters in this book which were all beautifully written. There were some characters I absolutely adored and some I loved to hate but somehow in the end it didn’t matter as I wanted them all to survive. The reader slowly gets to know the characters as the story develops and I soon found that I cared about them. This made the story more emotional for me and my heart was in my mouth in some of the scenes as I desperately hoped they’d all get out alive.

This book is incredibly fast paced and I quickly found that I couldn’t put the book down. There are lots of twists that kept me guessing and just when I though nothing else could possibly go wrong something else would happen to make the situation more precarious. The author does include some technical information about how planes work in this book, which mostly went over my head but I enjoyed trying to learn more about it.

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

Good morning everyone I’m lucky enough to belong to two book clubs and I always enjoy reading the books that they select.

This month we’re reading:

⭐Shines Of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson (Historical Fiction Bookclub)

⭐ Black Narcissus by Rumer Godden (VCM bookclub)

I’ve heard great things about Shines Of Gaiety so I’m very excited to read it soon. I’ve loved the author’s previous books so I have high hopes for it. It’s also set in one of my favourite historical eras so I’m very intrigued.

Black Narcissus is a book I hadn’t heard of before joining the VMC book club. I set myself a challenge to read more classics and this seemed like a great way to do it. The VMC books are very readable so I’m enjoying reading through them all plus they all have beautiful covers as you can see which I’m enjoying collecting.

Do you belong to a book club? What are you reading this month?

Shines Of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson

1926, and in a country still recovering from the Great War, London has become the focus for a delirious new nightlife. In the clubs of Soho, peers of the realm rub shoulders with starlets, foreign dignitaries with gangsters, and girls sell dances for a shilling a time.

At the heart of this glittering world is notorious Nellie Coker, ruthless but also ambitious to advance her six children, including the enigmatic eldest, Niven whose character has been forged in the crucible of the Somme. But success breeds enemies, and Nellie’s empire faces threats from without and within. For beneath the dazzle of Soho’s gaiety, there is a dark underbelly, a world in which it is all too easy to become lost.

With her unique Dickensian flair, Kate Atkinson brings together a glittering cast of characters in a truly mesmeric novel that captures the uncertainty and mutability of life; of a world in which nothing is quite as it seems.

Black Narcissus by Rumer Godden

High in the Himalayas, the mountaintop palace shines like a jewel. Built for the General’s harem, laughter and music once floated out over the gorge. Now it sits abandoned, windswept and haunting.

The palace is bestowed to the Sisters of Mary, and what was once known as ‘the House of Women’ becomes the Convent of St Faith. Close to the heavens, the nuns feel inspired, working fervently to establish their school and hospital. But as the isolation and emptiness of the mountain become increasingly unsettling, passions long repressed emerge with tragic consequences . . .

Book Synopsis:

There’s no place like home. There’s no place like Cornwall…

Maisie Winters has everything she could ever want. She lives in the idyllic Cornish town of Port Karadow, has a jammy job in her dad’s shop, adores her rescue mutt, and has time to take the landscape photos she loves.

While her best friend and sister left the town to chase big dreams in London and New York, Maisie stayed – she wouldn’t leave her favourite place for anything … or anyone.

When her long-time crush, Colm Caffrey, returns from a decade abroad, old feelings start to resurface. Maisie begins to ask herself if there might be one big thing missing after all?

My Review:

Ooh I do love this series! It’s such a fun, heartwarming series that’s perfect for reading in the sun this summer.

Firstly it was great to be back in Cornwall and getting to hang out with the gang again. They’ve become like old friends over the series and I love the way the author writes her characters so that they feel so real. I often felt like I was really there with them and that I was one of the gang getting involved in everything that’s going on.

This time the story focuses on Maisie and it was good to learn more about her. She’s lived in Cornwall all her life and I enjoyed exploring all the familiar places through her eyes. Her budding romance with Colm was interesting to follow and it was fun to see them grow closer together. I did find Maisie a little frustrating at time though as I felt she was finding excuse after excuse to not be with Colm when I just wanted them to get together. I felt they both deserved happiness and I felt very invested in their relationship as I thought they’d be great together.

Overall I loved this book and will definitely be recommending it to others. The book had a lovely pace to it and even in the slower moments of the book I just enjoyed hanging out with the wonderful characters. There’s some exciting news towards the end which hopefully means there is more to come from this fabulous series.

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

In other news I’m working this morning which I’m looking forward to as I set up the first book club for the Malvern branch of Rossiter Books on Monday and I’m excited to see how my book choice has gone down. I chose The Perfect Golden Circle by Benjamin Myers and the books have now arrived in store so I might get to meet some of the new members today too.

What book would you set as a book club read?

Voices Of The Dead by Ambrose Parry

EDINBURGH, 1853.
In a city of science, discovery can be deadly . . .

In a time of unprecedented scientific discovery, the public’s appetite for wonder has seen a resurgence of interest in mesmerism, spiritualism and other unexplained phenomena.

Dr Will Raven is wary of the shadowlands that lie between progress and quackery, but Sarah Fisher can’t afford to be so picky. Frustrated in her medical ambitions, she sees opportunity in a new therapeutic field not already closed off to women.

Raven has enough on his hands as it is. Body parts have been found at Surgeons’ Hall, and they’re not anatomy specimens. In a city still haunted by the crimes of Burke and Hare, he is tasked with heading off a scandal.

When further human remains are found, Raven is able to identify a prime suspect, and the hunt is on before he kills again. Unfortunately, the individual he seeks happens to be an accomplished actor, a man of a thousand faces and a renowned master of disguise.

With the lines between science and spectacle dangerously blurred, the stage is set for a grand and deadly illusion . . .

The Couple In The Photo by Helen Cooper

They’re your best friends.

Lucy and her husband do everything with their closest friends Cora and Scott. They’ve even bought a beach house together to enjoy summers with their kids. They’re more than friends: they’re family.

They’re hiding something.

When a colleague passes around photographs from her honeymoon in the Maldives, Lucy is shocked to see Scott in one of the pictures, his arm around another woman.

The truth will change everything.

Then news breaks that the woman from the photograph has mysteriously vanished. Why was Scott there and what is he hiding?

As Lucy looks for answers, her whole life begins to unravel. If the lies start here, where do they end?

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out by David M. Barnett

How do you find love . . . when you have the loneliest job in the world?

This is the story of Gayle and Martin, who fall in love over the course of ten years- over a yearly visit to a tiny, isolated island off the Welsh coast.

Gayle is a teacher and each year she brings her class to the island to see the local flora and fauna, from sea birds to playful seals. Martin, the island’s caretaker and only human resident, lives in and maintains the lighthouse, which opens to the public for just this one day a year.

Gayle is effervescent but feels trapped, while Martin is lonely and isolated. As their love slowly builds over time, they both yearn for the annual field trip where they can finally see each other… Until one year Gayle doesn’t come back, and Martin has to leave his island hideaway to find her.

A romantic, tender love story, perfect for fans of Mike Gayle and Rachel Joyce.

Book Synopsis:

Liverpool 1940. Alice King stands on the deck of SS Carlisle, waiting to escort a group of children to Canada as overseas evacuees. She is finally doing her bit for the war.

In London, as the Blitz bombs rain down and the threat of German invasion looms, Lily Nicholls anxiously counts the days for news of her son and daughter’s safe arrival.

But when disaster strikes in the Atlantic, Alice and Lily – one at sea, the other on land – will quickly become one another’s very best hope. The events of one night, and the eight unimaginable days that follow, will bind the two women together in unforgettable ways.

Inspired by a remarkable true story, The Last Lifeboat is a gripping and triumphant tale of love, courage and hope against the odds.

My Review:

The Last Lifeboat is an absorbing, heartbreaking read that will stay with it for a long time.

The story is told from the point of view of two women. Alice who is helping escort evacuees from war torn London and Lily the mother of one of the evacuees who is waiting news in London. I liked both of these woman equally and enjoyed following them throughout the book. Alice was a fantastic character who I loved for her selflessness and the way she obviously cares for her young charges. I think it’s always more scary looking after children who aren’t yours and I admired Alice for how she puts the kids first and tries to keep them safe. As a mother myself I really felt for Lily and felt I understood how she was feeling. It must have been so hard for these mothers trying to do the right think to keep their kids safe but always second guessing themselves about whether they are doing the right thing.

Historical fiction based in the second world war is my favourite genre, especially if I learn something new about the era. I hadn’t heard of the ‘sea vacs’ before and hadn’t realised that children were sent over seas to safety. This book is based on real life events and the author has clearly done her research as I felt fully transported to the lifeboat and into the horrendous situation the children find themselves in. This book really brings home the human cost of the war and how ordinary people were effected.

Overall I loved this book and would happily rate it as one of the best historical fiction books I’ve read. I felt immediately drawn into the story and found the book hard to put down as I desperately wanted to find out what would happen to Alice and the children. It’s been a long time since a book affected me as much as this one do and I found myself sobbing as I read. If you’re a fan of historical fiction I highly recommend this book.

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

Who’s your favourite fantasy author?

Book Synopsis:

A girl matches wits with a war god in this kaleidoscopic, epic tale of oppression and the cost of peace, where stories hide within other stories, and narrative has the power to heal… or to burn everything in its path.

In the winding underground tunnels of the Library, the great celestial peacekeeper of the three systems, a terrible secret lies buried.

As the daughter of a Library god, Freida has spent her whole life exploring the Library’s ever-changing tunnels and communing with the gods. Her unparalleled access makes her unique – and dangerous.

When Freida meets Joshua, a mortal boy desperate to save his people, and Nergüi, a Disciple from a persecuted religious minority, Freida is compelled to break ranks with the gods and help them. But in order to do so, she will have to venture deeper into the Library than she has ever known. There she will discover the atrocities of the past, the truth of her origins, and the impossibility of her future…

With the world at the brink of war, Freida embarks on a journey to fulfil her destiny, one that pits her against an ancient war god. Her mission is straightforward: Destroy the god before he can rain hellfire upon thousands of innocent lives – if he doesn’t destroy her first.

Book Synopsis:

It’s the summer of 1822 and Edinburgh is abuzz with rumours of King George IV’s impending visit. In botanical circles, however, a different kind of excitement has gripped the city. In the newly-installed Botanic Garden, the Agave Americana plant looks set to flower – an event that only occurs once every few decades.

When newly widowed Elizabeth arrives in Edinburgh to live with her late husband’s aunt Clementina, she’s determined to put her unhappy past in London behind her. As she settles into her new home, she becomes fascinated by the beautiful Botanic Garden which borders the grand house and offers her services as an artist to record the rare plant’s impending bloom. In this pursuit, she meets Belle Brodie, a vivacious young woman with a passion for botany and the lucrative, dark art of perfume creation.

Belle is determined to keep both her real identity and the reason for her interest the Garden secret from her new friend. But as Elizabeth and Belle are about to discover, secrets don’t last long in this Enlightenment city . . .

And when they are revealed, they can carry the greatest of consequences . . .

My Review:

The Fair Botanists is a fascinating, absorbing book which I really enjoyed.

The story is told mainly from the point of view of the two main characters Belle and Elizabeth but occasionally from other secondary characters too. I loved Belle and Elizabeth so really liked following them throughout the book. It was sad to see how precarious a women’s position was at that time and how much they had to rely on men to get by. Out of the two of them my favourite character was Belle who seemed a very strong, clever lady who has managed to come up with an ingenious way to make money. Elizabeth annoyed me a little bit as she seemed quite selfish at times and I didn’t like the way she treats Belle when Belle’s secret is revealed to her.

The author does a great job of bring Edinburgh to life and I loved following the characters around the city, soaking in all the little little details about what life was like back then. The moving of the Botanical gardens was an actual historical event, so it was fascinating to learn more about how it was achieved. The moving of the trees must have been amazing to watch and I enjoyed looking up pictures of this on the internet to see it for myself.

The book has a great pace to it and there always seemed to be something happening to keep me reading. Even in the slower moments I was so absorbed in the story that I loved just hanging out with the characters and seeing what they were getting up to.

The ending was brilliant and I liked how everything ends up for all the characters. I read this for the historical fiction book club I’m part of and I’d highly recommend it as a book club read as I feel there is be lots to discuss.

Good morning everyone. Today on Two For Tuesday I’m featuring my two new library books. Yes I was very good and only chose two books for once! I’ve been a huge fan of these author’s previous books so I’m very excited to read these soon.

On Saturday we went to our Library’s Family reading group. It’s on every fortnight and the kids absolutely love it – my little girl in particular as I think it’s a bit too old for my little boy really. They discuss what they’ve been reading and do activities to get them thinking about certain books. This week they had to build a Lego scene that told a story and then tell the group their story. If you’ve got kids I’d definitely recommend seeing if your library has one too. I’ve included a few pictures below!

What was the last book you got out of the library?

Prize Women by Caroline Lea

Toronto, 1926.

A childless millionaire leaves behind an astonishing will: the recipient of his fortune will be decided in a contest known as ‘The Great Stork Derby’. His money will go to the winner: the woman who bears the most children in the ten years after his death.

Lily di Marco is young, pregnant, and terrified of her husband. Fleeing to Toronto, she arrives on the doorstep of glamorous free spirit Mae Thebault. At a time when men hold all the power, Lily and Mae look out for each other. But as their friendship grows, Lily wonders if there’s more to Mae – and her past – than she has been told . . .

And as the Great Depression bites, the Stork Derby contest – with its alluring prize – proves too good to ignore for Lily and Mae, each living hand to mouth.

These best friends are now fierce rivals. But if only one woman can win, what will the contest cost the other?

The Other Mothers by Katherine Faulkner

You want to be one of them. Until you know them.

Ex-journalist Tash has been searching for a story to launch her freelance career. But she has also been searching for something else: new friends to help her navigate motherhood.

She sees them at her son’s new playgroup. The other mothers. The sleek, the sophisticated, the successful mothers. The women she wants to be.

And then one day they welcome her into their circle and Tash discovers the kind of life she has always dreamt of; their elegant London townhouses a far cry from her cramped basement flat and endless bills.

They seem to have everything. But they also have their secrets.

And it’s soon clear that not everyone at the playgroup can be trusted.
