Strange, Confusing but in a Good Way

 

I was asked by NetGalley to review this book, this is a story I read and really had no idea where was this story was going - in a good way. To be confused but still contiuned with this gothic novel was a new experience personally. 

 The story takes place sometime in the future and introduces Dre (short for Andrea) who lives in a walled community called the Squares and the community are poor. The community cannot go outside the parimeters

Dre has a chance to leave the Square to work as a governess for a young boy, Albie. Here they have to live as though it is 1884!!

All sound weird which it is but there are so many twists and turns in this story that it really keeps the reader on their toes.

Great novel and so recommended - due for publication mid January 2027 - so a god read post Christmas and New Year.

An Interesting Read

 

 I was asked by NetGalley to review this intriguging story.

As we as readers begin this story- Fiona is on the floor dead with her 6 year old child. Her husband returns from a camping trip with their 15 year old daughter Astrid.

What is so interesting about this story is we hear from Fiona directly from beyond and we see the past and what actually happened on the weekend and what led to her death.

Interestingly we hear from Fiona about, motherhood, Sex (which is discussed a great deal as her husband suffers from depression. We learn about her best friend Leah and her sister Nell she had lost her ties to.all very complex.

Interesting look on life and a reminder life is short.

Due for publication mid January 2027 recommended read for post Christmas and New Year.

Debut Novel Just Wow

 

Wow what a debut novel, dark psychological thriller boy can this author write. 

A fire ocurs in an empty house in the south west area of London brings Dr Catherine Jenkins ( Red) as a fire investigator, who by the way is a serial arsonist. Red is woken in the middle of the night. She has set the house alight but and there is a but - a body is found in the building! this now this is not just arson but a murder. 

Red has a lot of baggage to cope with in her life, there is the combination of mystery, dark psychological suspense, secrets and a murder to solve. This is so fast paced that the reader will not be able to put this book down until it reaches the tumultuous end.

Due for publication Easter 2027 - a great Easter break read.

So recommended and an author to look out for.
