Review of Fair Play By Grace Grahme
I can’t praise this book highly enough. I adored it. It’s well thought out, well researched, and very marketable. It’s one of my favourite stories of the year so far. I can see this on the bookshop shelves. I’d say this is as good a story as the top writers in the romance genre. Brilliant.… Continue reading Review of Fair Play By Grace Grahme

Review of Listless in Turkey by Onia Fox.
Everybody loves Jessica. And you will too. This book is so well blended that it’s difficult to decide if it’s character, plot or descriptive driven. As the teaser suggests, it should be character-driven because we fall in love with our heroine, Jess. It’s impossible not to. She’s down-to-earth, authentic and fallible—and that makes her very… Continue reading Review of Listless in Turkey by Onia Fox.
Review of Rapid Eye Movement by Amanda Sheridan
I first saw this book recommended on a Facebook writing group. There were several positive comments and reviews from members who had read it, and it piqued my interest. Two women dreaming each other’s lives sounded right up my alley. Come to the word Psychological and add a thriller to it, and my eager fingers… Continue reading Review of Rapid Eye Movement by Amanda Sheridan
Review of The Whispering Magpies by A J Saunders
A tense and gripping thriller with more twists than a corkscrew. Halfway through this book, I had it all sewn up and sorted out—only I didn’t. The story explores the bond between identical twins. Abby has been kidnapped, and Kaylee sets out on a quest to find out what has happened to her. However, she… Continue reading Review of The Whispering Magpies by A J Saunders
Book Review; Stolen Lives by Joseph Lewis.
One of those indie books that’s a joy to read. The story is centred around several locations in America, which I always find fascinating to read about. Joseph Lewis pulls you in and takes you with him everywhere he goes. It’s a hard-hitting crime thriller focussing on a spate of kidnapped children over several years.… Continue reading Book Review; Stolen Lives by Joseph Lewis.
Review of East End Butcher Boy by Joe Lawrence
I rarely enjoy a book as much as this one. I binged it and completed it in one day. This story is addictively fascinating. We are taken to the East-End of London in 1974. We meet Joe, a lazy fourteen-year-old who really doesn’t like the idea of anything even scantily linked to working. His… Continue reading Review of East End Butcher Boy by Joe Lawrence
Review of The Green Girl and the Serum by STL Armstrong
This is the first in a series of books by a new author. Despite working around the additional challenges that cerebral palsy brings, Sean Armstrong has worked hard on the series of six novels. He’s a remarkable man and has a great passion for his writing, despite his disability. We are set in the very… Continue reading Review of The Green Girl and the Serum by STL Armstrong
