A great story

I was asked to review by Librarything.com I have read a lot around the Second World War, and when it comes to fiction I am a little wary as to research of this period and the occupation of Holland. Jews were being rounded up and transported to the “camps” which was described well. I need not have worried this was research well and the story line kept me thinking. This is a sequel to the Last Lie – I did read this first and recommend the readers to do so. If readers are unaware of this period in history it takes them into this world of turmoil and horror with a great story which will grip the reader to the end.

Another Great Romance

I was really please when the author asked me to review another of her great books.

I loved this book- it was cute and lots of fun. The character Sage knew her own mind, really stubborn, has the dream job but had a cuteness about her. then there is Sergeant Carter Morgan, when he meets Sage his life takes an unexpected turn.

He wants to protect her but things get out of hand- will he stand by her - they are good together and there is a cuteness to this romance.

hope there is more in this series and from an author I just love to read.

weird

Asked to review this by Inspired by Kathy.
I was intrigued to read it but not really my thing. although this was rather a strange romance- the love triangle was even stranger.I could not really fathom out how the main character could be attracted to this skeletor  like character in appearance.

Do you believe in ghosts - no matter the main character has a barn full of them- her mother is dead and she is trying to rid herself of these ghosts, she then appears to fall for this ghost called Dex- confused - so is the main character.

Interesting concept but not really for me

Cute

I was asked to review this cute book by inspired by Kathy.

Just loved this, great for children has a sense of hope and perseverance when Benny loses his job when the war ends, is grounded but returns to flying.

Th book is pleasing to the eye and is simplistic.

Good pictures of vintage planes, good to teach children history too. Informative and a joy for children to read.

This will have you weeping for the story and make you think what if on a personal level

I was asked to review this by Lovereading.com.

This book was on two levels for me the story and made me think about me and what I still think about but with a sense of good memories.

We spend our lives making what we think are informed choices, but were they good choices- we have to live with them.

This book was so beautifully written, and heart wrenching at the same time, I read this in one sitting I was entranced, wept and thought. 

The story told over ten years is about two people Lucy and Gabe who meet in university. The day they met was 9/11 and that is a day most of us will never forget this shook the world.

What makes this book so special is it makes the reader think, but boy did I weep, I knew where this was going but needed to keep going. Surprisingly at times I found myself laughing as there are some comical parts to this too.

This book will be a main contender on the sunbeds this summer- well recommended.

Due for publication in May 2017.

Blow by blow crime over 3 days

I was asked to review this by Lovereading.co.uk

I have not read any books by this author and was intrigued by the cover and boy was this is a crime novel to stop the reader in their tracks.

Told over three days (I read it in one)  wife leave the pool area to go back to the room  on an idyllic island she is staying at with six year old child and husband. The husband wonders why she is taking so long – the room is empty but is covered in blood- is he trying to cover up – did he do it? He appears guilty- why. Then he and his daughter vanish, what is going on?

The story is told minute by minute and the reader is entranced the whole way through.

Fast paced with incredible twists and turns. The ending is quite a shock.

This is an author to look out for.

Questions answered and a great crime novel

I was asked to review Leigh Russell’s DI Geraldine Steels no 9 crime novel Deadly Alibi by Real Readers. I have been fortunate enough to have reviewed a number in the past- and Leigh novels never disappoint.

The author’s characters have grown from strength to strength over the years. In this book Geraldine’s personal life is at the forefront she has been through the mill, and questions I had in other books were answered Geraldine was adopted, she discovers her real mother but as she dies wants her to take care of her twin sister – drug user, addict and wants what she can take from Geraldine. As this is going on in the back ground there are two murders to be solved.

A woman's body is found outside a charity shop The woman’s husband is then accused – has he done it, was this a domestic clearly gone wrong or did someone else do it. A lover of the same man is murdered also – who did it?

The plot has many twists and turns and the reader needs to carry on to the end to find out just what happened.

Geraldine is a complex character and for readers with a difficult childhood can connect with – the story thunders on with the complex case and if Geraldine can save her twin (highlighting not everyone leads a perfect life)

For some readers the private life maybe distracting, but this book 9 and fans have been there from the start and this as I stated earlier answered a great deal of questions.

The author has a gift of leaving little clues for the reader to latch onto, easy to read, believable characters.

This will be up there this summer in the top ten a great holiday read.
