My review A story of 2 women and 1 man which was interlinked between them. A triangle is never a good thing in a relationship, and neither was this...

Book Review – If They Knew by Joanne Sefton
My review This book barely escaped being a DNF by the skin of its teeth... Whew!! A thriller of secrets which didn't thrill or entice me. I love a book which has secrets hidden in its pages, but the writing here was so s. l. o. w., that everything in the world including painting my … Continue reading Book Review – If They Knew by Joanne Sefton

Book Review – Tell Me No Lies by Alex Sinclair
My review The blurb sounded so interesting and having read Alex Sinclair's books previously, I started reading this book with excitement. "It was our five-year anniversary, and I had just witnessed my husband die." These lines from the prologue gripped me further. I was literally restless, with impatience pulsating through me to know how Grace … Continue reading Book Review – Tell Me No Lies by Alex Sinclair
Book Review – The proposal by S. E. Lynes
My review This is one of the most difficult reviews I would have probably written. The book was so different, gruesome in places that I had no idea of what I was reading. The story started innocently enough about a not so successful author Pippa opening the door for the ex-criminal salesman, Ryan/Gary, and then … Continue reading Book Review – The proposal by S. E. Lynes

When I Find You by Emma Curtis
My review I liked the brilliance of the plot. I like the convoluted roadway to the identity. I liked the anger and suspense of the situation. I liked the helplessness and fear of the main character. I liked the moral dilemma which the concept threw out. Laura goes home with a man wearing a pink … Continue reading When I Find You by Emma Curtis
White Lies by Lucy Dawson
My review The book started with a bang (literally), a doctor (ahem ahem) Alex goes for girls' weekend to Ibiza to relax and enjoy. What happens in Ibiza should have remained in Ibiza!

The Birthday Girl by Sue Fortin
My review This book was a shocker of a story. Where I thought the book ended and there would be nothing more to know, other than to read it for a thrill, the story actually started. This is my first book by Sue Fortin, and I was bloody well enthralled to leave other work and … Continue reading The Birthday Girl by Sue Fortin
