My Review for The Last Word by Taylor Adams

I have never read anything like this before. Everything happened in this book really fast, and I couldn’t keep up. I couldn’t turn the pages quickly enough and I hated most of the characters! Yes, some of was unbelievable but so what, it was the most entertaining book I have read in a long, long time and I really can’t explain why. Emma leaves a negative review for a book she has just read and the author contacts her...! There are some dual...

My Review for Elodie's Library of Second Chances by Rebecca Raisin

Give me a book that actually has books included in the story and you’ve got me hook, line and sinker! I was always going to love this one, I just knew it!

Hating her corporate lifestyle in a family business in London, she ups and moves herself to Willow Grove and sets about making...

My Review for The Assistant by Bonny Fawn

I’m pleased to be part of Bonny Fawn’s ARC team, and The Assistant is another brilliant book from the author of The Clients. It was quite literally full of WTF moments, fast-paced, with lots of violence.Told from three points of view, Laney, JD and Vlad and set across different timelines, it took me longer than Laney to realise what was going on. Even then, I still couldn’t work out who was good and who was bad! Finally, though, all the pieces...

My Review for Best Friends Forever by Shannon Hollinger narrated by Kate Handford

I was obviously hoping that I wouldn’t get lost but when I told my Bookstagram friends what I was doing that day, one of them said, and I quote...‘we are gonna write...

My Review for The Berlin Wife's Choice by Marion Kummerow

This is the second book in the German Wives series, and we continue along with the stories of Edith and Julius, and Helga and Heinrich, as Hitler gains power and WWII begins. Julius and Heinrich are Jewish, although from differing backgrounds, and we discover just how life changed, step by step, for those unfortunate Jews.Once again Marion Kummerow has delivered a brilliant story, based on fact but very much a work of fiction and once again, I learnt...

My Review for Unpredictable Winds by Thomas T Chin

When I was contacted by the author, Thomas Chin, to ask if I would consider reading and reviewing a copy of his debut novel, Unpredictable Winds, I didn’t know what to expect, but wow, what an amazing book with a beautiful story. Unpredictable Winds begins at the outbreak of WWII in Shanghai, China, and whilst WWII is predominantly in the background, the story focuses on the civil war, which ended in 1949 with Communist control and how the characters...
