Beautifully written

I received this book from The Nudge and New books Reviewers Centre.

I read some good reviews already so was interested to read this.

The author writes beautifully and her writing is so powerful at times i found uncomfortable - this is a dysfunctional family and there are a good few around. There is the flip of the coin too and this can be uplifting too. Even when times are difficult there is hope.

The main character Lucille keeps gong despite her mother disappears, she then has more bad luck which seems so unfair 

There is romance too - when all about everything is falling apart.

A good YA book   

Wow love book reviewing

This makes book reviewing worthwhile 

Simply wonderful

I was asked to review this debut novel for Real Readers.

The author has written for film and TV before but what a great debut novel. If I had walked into a book store or airport I certainly would have been intrigued by this book.

The author writes so well and the characters just spill off the page with life and joy. Set in a little Indian village, customs and life have remained the same for a great many years. Things just chug along and to describe this the reader would think this is pretty mundane but not so the author has written his characters well. There are always those who want a different life and out of the blue a bus comes in with a  trio of English dancers and their crew -the gods have listened to them. 

Are these dancer what they seem and will those who want a different life - will they get what they wanted. Full of humour and such a different type of story.

I loved this book and hope the author writes more. Due for publication today. 

Great Thriller

I was asked to review this for Net Galley.

Great psychological thriller well written I was hooked in on page 1. Her plot is good and is fast paced.  The main character  is Kelly Michelle Lund. The book flit back and forward in time between 1980 (when Kelly was 17) and 2010. the reader is informed straight away that she is a murderer serving 20 years in jail. After being released her past comes back to haunt her.

Readers this is a great thriller, well recommended.

Do you ever really know someone?

I was asked to review by Net Galley.

A really spooky scary story, with the snow across the fens - the story builds up - you trust your husband - why wouldn't you - Fran did as she moves to a run down farmhouse. Does she really know her husband who is he?

Kept me gripped and there were so many twists and who kills the husband what is going on.

Mixed reviews for this book but I really enjoyed and thank you for allowing me to review this.

Another great book from a great author

I was asked to review this via Net Galley.

I have been a fan of this author since I read The Husband's Secret. The author takes a situation and throws the unexpected at it.It is then how we cop/deal with what could be shocking  or life changing .

This book - a BBQ takes place, something dreadful happens to three couples and their children. The characters are well written and there are some unusual ( that's real life)

This throws everyone up in the air, emotions are all over the place and some surprises along the way.

A great sunbed read - just out for publication on the 26th July 2016 - will be a top ten this summer.

Beautiful

I was asked to review by Librarything.com

The cover really pulled me in almost magical as well as the title.

Nothing is ever as planned and that was the case for Melody and Duncan who just want to have fun in the summer before the autumn. But as predicted nothing is never as planned and Duncan's move to Florida. A lovely tale of young love. 

What is in store for next summer - wait and see.
