My review This book was everything it promised me and something more, which it never warned me about. The book said it would be a fast-paced, gripping, roller coaster ride and I agree. It took me on a bumpy ride which I am still recovering from. And it promised me a psychological thriller, but gave … Continue reading Keep Her Safe by Richard Parker

Virtual Heaven by Taylor Kole
My review Oh, what a fantastic sci-fi thriller! I absolutely did not expect this book to be so well drafted with an easy-to-understand writing style.

That is … Continue reading Curves, Kisses and Chocolate Ice Cream by Sue Watson
