A great thriller






This is the awaited next book by the author of the Swimmer.

This thriller started well and got me hooked from the beginning, lots of differing plots that weave into this story. The book gives the reader a chance to embed the story as all too often we are faced with a roller coaster ride and the reader cannot devour the writing as well.

The characters are real warts and all which makes for a great read. it shows the world as it sadly is today.


Shocking but ultimately a great read will be up there in the top ten thriller authors.

good historical novel



Falcon's Rise by Natalia Richards


I was asked to review this book by Librarything.com

An interesting read and an historical fictional account of Anne Boleyn's early years that are not always investigated. This is historical fiction so there is poetic licence in this account but the author has clearly researched her subject well.  This is well written and the author up there with the historical fiction greats.
Interesting account making the reader want to find out more of this Queen who came to a grisly end. 

Happy Ever After



Journey to Wizards' Keep by K.C. Cowarn


I found this really comical to read and was not expecting that . Two 16 years go in search of their true love. An evil Wizard gets in their way and predictably the two girls need to defeat  the nasty wizard. There is betrayal, romance a great  escape of a read.

An emotional read



And Never Say Goodbye by Nancy Glynn


I was asked to review this book by Librarything.com

Oh my goodness these two characters were meant to be together. I found this such an emotional book to read. I thought this would be an ok book, but how wrong was- I was taken into the story and the characters. There is mystery around the characters too so the reader is reading on to the end to find out what happens next.

A great book and an author to look out for.

Magical






I was intrigued by this book, having not read book one was a little unsure.I was not disappointed. This gave the reader enough of the story line to follow book 2.
A princess who thought she was human and yet is a troll who looks like a troll and presumably acts like one too ( not sure how a troll should act)

The princess has magical powers but require to be unleashed - thus this is essentially the story but hey it works and I enjoyed this style of writing too.

Great romance

Between Hope & the Highway


I was asked by Inspired by Kathy to review this book. Was not sure what to expect. But loved this book. OMG a lot of emotion. The author has written her characters and they are so real. What I enjoyed was the fact that this story was complicated - choices to be made, redemption and forgiveness all thrown into the melting pot. 

Recommended and I will certainly be following this author.

Lovely Festive Read

Christmas Kisses & Wishes (The Christmas Love List Book 2) by [Kleve,Sharon]

I have really been getting into the festive spirit- Christmas cake made, cards written and presents wrapped as much as I can. So as a reward I read Sharon Kleve Book. The author kindly asked if I wanted to review - yes please I said.

As with all of Sharon's books I loved it. The characters are lovely-  Finn is a writer  and is trying to find herself following a divorce. She seeks a fresh start with her dog in the country. she then meets Keaton, the local vet. Their love of animals brings them together.

Romance with a capital R and Christmas all rolled into one.

As the evenings get colder snuggle up and get ready for the holidays.
