3.5 stars Release date 11th June 2026 The blurb reads like it’s a thriller but it’s actually sci-fi, not my usual type of book at all but I still read it to the end. Some of the more technical science jargon went straight over my head but it was a beautiful story about family, primarily a Father & Son, Scott & Lyle. One morning at 7:51, Scott jumps forward in time by a whole day in a instant. This continues to happen each day doubling the time slips each time. He has no choice but to leave his family behind … Continue reading The Traveler by Joseph Eckert

5 stars Release Date 4th June 2026 Luca Veste was a brand new author for me, not only had I never read anything by him, I’d never heard of him either. What a fantastic book Liar Liar was!! It drops you right into the action from page 1 and was full of twists and turns but was also a slow gradual story that just kept building. Each time I thought I knew where it was going, I’d be taken in a completely different direction. I read it mostly in big chunks as it was so difficult to put down. I … Continue reading Liar Liar by Luca Veste

5 stars Release date 9th April 2026 This book was gripping, edgy, compelling but most of all full of love. The Mother/Daughter bond between Simone and Lucy was tender, gentle, fierce & courageous, to list just a few of the feelings that I got. The story was beautifully written and really pulled me in. It gave me goosebumps several times and left me on the edge of my seat, needing to know what happened next. Love oozed from the pages and the bond between Mother and Daughter was so strong and expressed so well. Yet at the same time the … Continue reading Caller Unknown by Gillian McAllister

5 stars Publication date 9th April 2026 When I heard the premise, a story about authors finishing a story, I knew I had to read it. As a writer and hopefully a published author one day, I was elated to get accepted for an arc on Netgalley after seeing the Instagram campaign. I was even more excited when I found out who Evelyn Clarke really is as I’ve read most of Cat Clarke’s books and loved them all. This book was a story full of excitement, twists and atmosphere. I loved the alternating POVs and how each authors section took … Continue reading The Ending Writes Itself by Evelyn Clarke

5 stars This book was fantastic, full of twists that kept me gripped. I didn’t guess the direction, in which the story was taking. The story was very well structured to give bits and pieces away and lay lots of clues. I loved the way the characters developed and the journey that the main character, Frankie went on. I really struggled to put this down and constantly felt compelled to read a bit more. I’ll definitely read more by this author. Continue reading My Mother’s Lie by Anna E. Collins

4 stars Release Date 12th March 2026 I love Fiona Lucas’ books, however I didn’t enjoy this one as much as others by her. Having said that I still inhaled it and found it extremely hard to put down. It’s a speculative romance involving time travel. I always love anything with time travel so this was a big draw for me. The romance between Jess and Luke felt very realistic especially for a couple celebrating 10 years together. I did struggle to fully engage at times though. Overall I enjoyed the story, loved the characters (most of the time) and … Continue reading The way I loved you by Fiona Lucas

4 stars Release Date 12th February 2026 The Shadow Carver was a very twisty, dark thriller and the 4th book in the Inspector Anjelica Henley series. Having loved the first 3 books, I couldn’t wait to get stuck into this one and it definitely didn’t disappoint.The book picked up from where the last book left off and back stories all ran through the new case.Matheson introduced us to a new police character in this story, she made quite the first impression. I hope to read more about her in future books as I’ve a feeling that there is some secrets … Continue reading The shadow carver by Nadine Matheson

Continue reading The girl with the baby by Sam Vickery

5 stars Wow, this book takes you right into the action from the very first chapter. I can’t think of a reason why you’d not want to read on after reading that opening chapter.The book carries on with the same high pace all the way through. There certainly wasn’t a dull moment.I was kept guessing right till the end, the book was full of drama and twists. I loved it.Even though this book is part of a series, it can definitely be read as a standalone.

5 stars The Obsession was very modern with the storyline being based around VLogging, social media and Internet stalking. It also gave me 90’s teen horror film vibes. I was gripped and the book was paced very well. I found most of characters very likeable and the ending was in true Natasha style!!! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley for the review copy. Continue reading The Obsession by Natasha Preston

I really empathised with her throughout the book. Your wedding day should be special but there was definitely a lot to be concerned about with her in laws to be. The story was full of twists and kept me constantly wanting to know what was going to happen. I loved it. Continue reading The Wedding Lies by Jade Lee Wright
