Book Review – Not Quite Dead by Dawn Sherling #BookReview #BookBlogger #medicalthriller
I requested for this medical thriller as this genre has been my first love... Ahem.. Ahem...for reasons some of you already know. I wouldn't say the book was as good as Robin Cook, but it does try to spin a good tale infusing the prose with suspense within a hosoital scenario. The story went thus, … Continue reading Book Review – Not Quite Dead by Dawn Sherling #BookReview #BookBlogger #medicalthriller

Book Review – The Girl I Used to Know by Faith Hogan @GerHogan #BookReview #BookBlogger #contemporary
I went blind into this book because it was written by author Faith Hogan. I don't need to read the blurb to know the women in this novel would be strong and brave, they would face life and inspire me to find the girl I used to know too. The first half of the book … Continue reading Book Review – The Girl I Used to Know by Faith Hogan @GerHogan #BookReview #BookBlogger #contemporary
Book Review – Murder from Scratch by Leslie Karst #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading
This was the first cozy mystery that I genuinely liked. There was solid sleuthing shown which warmed my thriller loving heart.

Book Review – Where The Missing Go by Emma Rowley #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading
The story arc caught my eye - a mother searching for her 16 year old daughter even after 2 years of her running away from home. Kate volunteered at the Message in a Bottle helpline center which passed on the message of the runaway to their parents, no questions asked. It was a safe place … Continue reading Book Review – Where The Missing Go by Emma Rowley #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading

Book Review – The Nanny by Gilly Macmillan #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading
Gilly Macmillan is simply brilliant!! This was my first book by her, and I was completely entranced by her writing to the point I took my kindle everywhere with me. I loved her characters, each one was so different. Wickedness flowed in the veins of some, helplessness and blindness in others. The emotions she evoked … Continue reading Book Review – The Nanny by Gilly Macmillan #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading
Book Review – What She Saw by Wendy Clarke # @bookouture #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading

Book Review – The Silver Ladies of Penny Lane by Dee MacDonald #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading
My conclusions after reading the book It is rape or non consensual sex when a man has sex with a woman of any age who is in an inebriated state and does not know where she is. It is not the woman's fault. Anyone, including herself or her friend, tries to justify it, it will … Continue reading Book Review – The Silver Ladies of Penny Lane by Dee MacDonald #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading

Book Review – Timur’s Escape by Tabi Slick #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading
I would be the first one to admit that history and I are not friends. This book was written at the backdrop of the Ottoman Empire between 14th and 20th century. But it was not a historical fiction. It is purely a paranormal love story with action, politics, and drama. The story started with Queen … Continue reading Book Review – Timur’s Escape by Tabi Slick #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading

Book Review – Sconed to Death by Lynn Cahoon #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading
I went in blind with this book. I knew the author wrote cozy mysteries which meant small town, warm characters with some mean ones, descriptions of food/recipe, a murder, some suspects, a busybody, the main character and her team to investigate that murder. My first book by Lynn Cahoon though 5th in the series, was … Continue reading Book Review – Sconed to Death by Lynn Cahoon #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading
Book Review – Justice for Belle by Didi Oviatt #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading
I am in quite a fix on how to write this review. The story goes thus, Ahnia, a has-been writer, meets Mac, a wannabe writer, and feels a strange attraction to him. They meet again where Mac proposes a preposterous challenge which arouses Ahnia's interest. Taking such a risk would make creative juices flow again, … Continue reading Book Review – Justice for Belle by Didi Oviatt #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading

Book Review – The Summer Retreat by Sheila Roberts @_Sheila_Roberts #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading

Book Review – The Dare by Carol Wyer @carolewyer @bookouture #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading
Carol Wyer has done it again, raised the bar so high with this book that I wonder how she would top this up with her next.

Book Review – Suddenly Single by Carol Wyer @carolewyer #BookReview #BookBlogger #AmReading
I am stronger than I think This is the theme of the book that we are stronger than we ever think ourselves to be. This story by Carol Wyer brought out that fact in every page of the book.
