Blink by K.L. Slater
Publisher: Bookouture
Release date: 16 February 2017
Rating: ****
Back cover blurb: What if the person you love most in the world was in terrible danger … because of you? Three years ago, Toni’s five-year-old daughter Evie disappeared after leaving school. The police have never been able to find her. There were no witnesses, no CCTV, no trace. But Toni believes her daughter is alive. And as she begins to silently piece together her memories, the full story of the past begins to reveal itself, and a devastating truth. Toni’s mind is trapped in a world of silence, her only chance to save herself is to manage the impossible. She must find a way to make herself heard. She must find her daughter. A compelling, gripping thriller with a breath-taking twist that will keep you awake until the early hours. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Behind Closed Doors and The Sister.

This is a really difficult novel to review without giving any of the plot twists away – which by the way are amazing!

Blink is a fast paced psychological thriller (if I hadn’t had to go to work I’d have read it in one sitting) that really grips you from the start.

Toni Cotter has recently moved to Nottingham with her five year old daughter Evie to be nearer her Mother.
Her late husband, Evie’s Father passed away whilst serving in Afghanistan and a fresh start is what both Mother and Daughter so desperately need.

Evie is swiftly enrolled into the local primary school, and Toni finds herself a job at the local Estate agency.
Determined to stand on her own two feet and not rely on her Mother’s help, Toni does struggle, but she believes she knows what’s best for her family.

If Toni thought that she was living in a nightmare when her husband died, she was very much mistaken.

For after a chain of unforeseen circumstances, Toni is late picking up Evie from school, and Evie is nowhere to be found. She has seemingly vanished and Toni’s nightmare has only just begun...


Blink is available now via Amazon online and all good book shops.

Review - Blood Lines by Angela Marsons

Blood Lines by Angela Marsons
Publisher: Bookouture
Release date: 4 November 2016
Rating: *****
Back cover blurb: How do you catch a killer who leaves no trace? A victim killed with a single, precise stab to the heart appears at first glance to be a robbery gone wrong. A caring, upstanding social worker lost to a senseless act of violence. But for Detective Kim Stone, something doesn’t add up. When a local drug addict is found murdered with an identical wound, Kim knows instinctively that she is dealing with the same killer. But with nothing to link the two victims except the cold, calculated nature of their death, this could be her most difficult case yet. Desperate to catch the twisted individual, Kim’s focus on the case is threatened when she receives a chilling letter from Dr Alex Thorne, the sociopath who Kim put behind bars. And this time, Alex is determined to hit where it hurts most, bringing Kim face-to-face with the woman responsible for the death of Kim’s little brother – her own mother. Contd...

Blood Lines is book number five in Angela Marson's D.I. Kim Stone series and the books just continue to keep on getting better.

So Kim Stone is back and facing a woman, an enemy she is determined not to let get to her again. But Dr. Alexandra Thorne is a very determined woman - a sociopath with a grudge to bear.
When a woman's body is found with a distinctive stab wound, at first it appears to be a simple car jacking, but on closer inspection, the woman's belongings, and the car itself are still there and still pretty much in tact. 

When another body throws up similarities, Kim and her team must decide if the murders are connected or not.

At first glance it appears that the victims backgrounds are very different, and a handsome kitchen fitter is all they have in common. 

Or is it?

Blood Lines is another gripping novel by Angela Marsons, and Kim Stone just keeps getting better as a character - roll on book number Six!!

Blood Line is available to buy now via Amazon online and all good book shops.

Review: The Sister by Louise Jensen

The Sister by Louise Jensen
Publisher: Bookouture
Release date: 7 July 2016
Rating: *** and a half
Back cover blurb: "I did something terrible Grace. I hope you can forgive me ..." Grace hasn't been the same since the death of her best friend Charlie. She is haunted by Charlie's words, the last time she saw her, and in a bid for answers, opens an old memory box of Charlie's. It soon becomes clear there was a lot she didn't know about her best friend. When Grace starts a campaign to find Charlie's father, Anna, a girl claiming to be Charlie's sister steps forward. For Grace, finding Anna is like finding a new family, and soon Anna has made herself very comfortable in Grace and boyfriend Dan's home. But something isn't right. Things disappear, Dan's acting strangely and Grace is sure that someone is following her. Is it all in Grace's mind? Or as she gets closer to discovering the truth about both Charlie and Anna, is Grace in terrible danger? There was nothing she could have done to save Charlie ...or was there?


Charlie, Dan and Grace have been inseparable since meeting in primary school. At the age of fifteen the two girls bury a memory box. Their plan is to revisit the memory box and reopen it together when they are much older

Ten years later Grace is opening the box alone just months after Charlie's tragic death. Struggling to cope with the untimely loss of her best friend, Grace pushes Dan away to the extent that he begins to spend all the hours he can either at football practice, or work, seemingly he'll do anything to avoid his girlfriend.

Feeling alone and rejected Grace begins to look for Charlie's Father, a mission that they had both failed in whilst Charlie was alive. Seemingly from nowhere a young woman called Anna presents herself, claiming that she is Charlie's half sister.

Anna is a sweet girl, who Grace takes pity upon as she begins to grieve for the half sister she never knew she had.

As Anna moves in with Charlie and Dan, odd things start to happen. Grace thinks that she is being paranoid, she thought someone was following her before she even met Anna, and she put that down to a combination of drinking too much with her sleeping tablets, trying to blot out the pain of Charlie's death.

But is Anna who she says she is?

It not then exactly who is she, and what on earth does she want with Grace?

The Sister is a solid debut and I look forward to reading more work from this author.


The Sister is available from 7 July 2016.

Review: The Girl in the Ice by Robert Bryndza

The Girl in the Ice
Publisher: Bookouture
Release date: 12 February 2016
Rating: ****
Back cover blurb: Her eyes are wide open. Her lips parted as if to speak. Her dead body frozen in the ice… She is not the only one. When a young boy discovers the body of a woman beneath a thick sheet of ice in a South London park, Detective Erika Foster is called in to lead the murder investigation. The victim, a beautiful young socialite, appeared to have the perfect life. Yet when Erika begins to dig deeper, she starts to connect the dots between the murder and the killings of three prostitutes, all found strangled, hands bound and dumped in water around London. What dark secrets is the girl in the ice hiding? As Erika inches closer to uncovering the truth, the killer is closing in on Erika. The last investigation Erika led went badly wrong… resulting in the death of her husband. With her career hanging by a thread, Erika must now battle her own personal demons as well as a killer more deadly than any she’s faced before. But will she get to him before he strikes again? 


Robert Bryndza is probably better known as a romantic fiction author, but I'll be totally honest, I had never heard of him before his latest gem of a novel popped up on netgalley.

When the body of Andrea Douglas-Brown is found in a less than desirable part of London the Police have their work cut out for them.

Not only is Andrea the daughter of Lord Simon Douglas-Brown, but she also has an influential and wealthy fiancée in the form of Giles Osborne who runs a very successful events company. The investigation into Andrea’s murder therefore must be dealt with quickly and carefully.

No one likes a scandal - particularly not those rich enough to try and influence the police...

DCI Foster is bought into from Manchester to assist the Met in their search for the murderer. Her first assignment after the death of her husband and colleague Mark Foster at a (unsolved) shooting in Rochdale.

Despite her own recent loss, Foster is determined to get to the bottom of the Douglas-Brown case. But there are those that are less keen on Foster's digging, and soon the investigation gets very political and very messy.

As she begins to see connections to other murders and feels like she is getting somewhere, she is dramatically dropped from the case leaving her colleagues to find the murderer under a less popular colleague.

Can they close the case before the killer strikes again? Or will Erika be haunted by yet another unsolved crime.

I really hope to see DCI Foster in a future novel as I would love to find out more about her, her husband Mark and some of her colleagues. The Girl in the Ice is a thoroughly enjoyable novel and I hope to read more in this genre from this author.

Review: Lost Girls by Angela Marsons


Lost Girls by Angela Marsons
Publisher: Bookouture
Release date: 6 November 2015
Rating: *****
Back cover blurb: Two girls go missing. Only one will return. The couple that offers the highest amount will see their daughter again. The losing couple will not. Make no mistake. One child will die. When nine-year-old best friends Charlie and Amy disappear, two families are plunged into a living nightmare. A text message confirms the unthinkable; that the girls are the victims of a terrifying kidnapping. And when a second text message pits the two families against each other for the life of their children, the clock starts ticking for D.I. Kim Stone and the squad. Seemingly outwitted at every turn, as they uncover a trail of bodies, Stone realises that these ruthless killers might be the most deadly she has ever faced. And that their chances of bringing the girls home alive, are getting smaller by the hour…  Untangling a dark web of secrets from the families’ past might hold the key to solving this case. But can Kim stay alive long enough to do so? Or will someone’s child pay the ultimate price?

Lost Girls is the 3rd novel in Angela Marsons's, D.I. Kim Stone series, but could easily be read as a stand alone novel. However these novels are so brilliantly gripping that I'd recommend the others in the series if you can get your hands on them!

When D.I. Kim Stone is called into the office on a Sunday afternoon, she wonders what she has done wrong, but it soon becomes apparent that her skill is needed. Two little girls are missing, snatched from the leisure centre where they were waiting for their parents to pick them up after swimming.

Charlie and Amy are inseparable, and their parents, Karen and Robert, and Elizabeth and Stephen are close friends as well as neighbours. In fact, Karen was due to be picking the girls up, until her car wouldn't start, and she received an anonymous text making it clear the girls had been kidnapped. Stone is assigned the case despite her reservations.

Quickly Stone realises there are similarities with an earlier case, but Emily Billingham was returned to her family whilst Suzie C was not. Stone is determined that the same won't happen this time, and that both girls will return safely to their families.

Families that are understandably distraught. When further text messages arrive suggesting that only one girl will live, the daughter of the highest bidder, the friends begin to turn against each other in a bid to save their daughters lives.

But what if the kidnappers are interested in more than money? Will these families ever see their daughters again? Stone are her team vow to bring the case to a satisfactory conclusion for all, but it won't be an easy ride.

Lost Girls is a very clever novel with complex characters, some likeable, some not so, but all very real. Lost Girls is yet another novel by Angela Marsons that comes with a five star review from me, and again, I cannot wait for the next in the series.


Lost Girls is available from 6 November 2015.

Review: 24 Hours by Claire Seeber

24 Hours by Claire Seeber
Publisher: Bookouture
Release date: 9 October 2015
Rating: *****
Back cover blurb:  Here today. Dead tomorrow? My best friend, Emily, is dead – killed last night in a hotel fire. But it was meant to be me. Now I have 24 hours to find my daughter. Before he finds out I’m still alive. 24 Hours is a fast-paced, intelligent psychological thriller that will leave you breathless. 












24 Hours is a novel covering the 24 Hour period that follows a devastating hotel fire, in which Laurie Smith's best friend Emily died. Laurie is certain though that Emily wasn't meant to die, and instead that someone is after her.

Laurie's life has been traumatic of late, so there are no shortage of suspects in Laurie's mind of people wanting to cause her harm. But she doesn't really care about herself. What she cares most about in the world, is her daughter, Polly.

Polly is supposedly safe, on her way back from Disneyland Paris with her Grandma, but as their time to return to the UK draws nearer, Laurie fears for her daughter's life and must do everything in her power to stop the person who she believes is responsible for the hotel fire, before they harm her daughter.

But is Laurie's life really in danger? Or have the last few traumatic months in her life made her delusional?

A love/hate relationship with an turner prize winning ex-husband, and his jealous new girlfriend, an on/off lover who you don't know if you can trust, and his crazy ex-wife, all good reasons why any sane person would go a little mad when having to deal with.

Told in alternating chapters; 'now', each hour in the 24 hours after the fire, and 'then', before the fire. 24 Hours is a fast paced psychological thriller that will genuinely have you second guessing each and every character.

It's conclusion is ultimately satisfying, and it's a novel I won't be forgetting in a hurry.

24 Hours is available to buy now from Amazon online.

Review: The Betrayal by Laura Elliott

The Betrayal by Laura Elliott
Publisher: Bookouture
Release date: 14 August 2015
Rating:  ****
Back cover blurb: A perfect divorce. A new flame. And a deadly obsession. Nadine and Jake Saunders were married in their teens. Tied to one another by a night of passion that resulted in a pregnancy neither could turn away from. Now, years later, their children have all flown the nest and the pact they made as teenagers – to give one another the freedom to pursue their own dreams – has resurfaced. But freedom comes at a price … While Nadine and Jake begin to untangle their lives from one another, Jake embarks on a passionate affair with a beautiful woman, Karin Moyes. What he doesn’t know is the dark history Karin shares with Nadine. As lust spirals into dangerous obsession, Jake must break free from Karin. But he must also ask himself how well he ever really knew Nadine. What secret is she hiding? The truth, when it is revealed, could destroy them all.



The Betrayal is my first Laura Elliott novel, but I shall certainly be seeking out her others after reading this. 

Nadine and Jake Saunders are looking for the perfect divorce. After marrying as teenagers due to an unplanned pregnancy, they both agree that the time has come for them to move into separate lives, particularly now that their four children are all adults living their own lives.

Neither of them are expecting a face from the past to re-enter their lives. 

Jake meets Karin Moylan on a flight to New York, he remembers her from a summer long ago where she and Nadine were best friends, and he was the lead singer of an upcoming rock band Shard.

She reminds him of a night long ago, and makes it clear that she will be waiting for him when he separates from Nadine. When Karin’s business card falls from Jake’s wallet whilst he and Nadine are having dinner, Nadine is furious and believes he has been unfaithful to her prior to them deciding to separate.

Jake attempts to assure Nadine that this is not the case. But she is reluctant to believe him, and Jake wonders exactly why Nadine seems to hate Karin so much? Unfortunately for Jake it doesn’t take him long to discover Karin’s true manipulative personality.

Karin has never forgiven Nadine for marrying Jake when she wanted him so much the summer they were teenagers, but there is something else. Something that neither of them are prepared to talk about, until Karin starts sending out letters to Nadine’s family.

The Betrayal is told mainly from Nadine and Jake’s points of view which really gives us as a reader an all-round view of just how scary Karin Moylan is. Psychopath, Sociopath.. she could fit all of these descriptions and more. But will she get what she wants? Or is her world set to come crashing down around her as she would like it to do to others?

You will have to read for yourself to find out. I assure you you won’t be disappointed!

The Betrayal is available to buy now from Amazon online.

Review: Evil Games by Angela Marsons

Evil Games by Angela Marsons
Publisher:
Bookouture
Release date: 29 May 2015
Rating: *****
Back cover blurb: The greater the evil, the more deadly the game ... When a rapist is found mutilated in a brutal attack, Detective Kim Stone and her team are called in to bring a swift resolution. But, as more vengeful killings come to light, it soon becomes clear that there is someone far more sinister at work. With the investigation quickly gathering momentum, Kim soon finds herself exposed to great danger and in the sights of a lethal individual undertaking their own twisted experiment. Up against a sociopath who seems to know her every weakness, for Detective Stone, each move she makes could be deadly. As the body count starts to mount, Kim will have to dig deeper than ever before to stop the killing. And this time - it’s personal.
Evil Games is Angela Marsons second novel, I haven't yet had the pleasure of reading her first 'Silent Scream', but having read Evil Games, I'll be sure to add it to my ever growing to be read list!

Evil Games opens with a raid on a property whose inhabitants are suspected of committing child abuse. 
To make things worse, it is the family's Father who is suspected of abusing his own children. DI Kim Stone is determined to leave no stone unturned in her team's quest for justice.

Meanwhile an ex-rapist is found dead, having been stabbed multiple times. Kim's team don't have to look far to find the murderer, and although there is a clear motive, Kim isn't convinced that the murderer alone is too blame for the crime they have commited.

The majority of her team disagree with her, so Kim finds herself questioning the murderer's former therapist alone.Trying to find answers as to why the murderer acting in the way that the did. 
What she discovers upon her first meeting intrigues and unsettles her but she cannot say why. As she delves deeper in the case and questions the therapist further, the novel takes the novel on a shocking path and you simply will not be able to put this one down!
Kim Stone (and most of her team) are all thoroughly likeable characters and Angela does a great job of making them as flawed and as real as possible. After all, none of us are perfect! Kim's relationship with her DS Bryant is just brilliant, and I look forward to reading more about the pair of them soon.
 Evil Games is available from 29 May 2015.

Review: Don't Turn Around by Caroline Mitchell

Don't Turn Around by Caroline Mitchell
Publisher:
Bookouture
Release date: 24 April 2015
Rating: *** and a half
Back cover blurb: You don’t know him. But he knows you. Soon he would be able to touch her, to feel the warmth of her blood. And when the time came, nothing would stop him. As D.C. Jennifer Knight investigates a routine stabbing in the quiet town of Haven, she is shocked at what seems like a personal message from beyond the grave. When more bodies are found, Jennifer is convinced the killings are somehow linked. What she discovers is more chilling than she could possibly imagine. The murders mirror those of the notorious Grim Reaper – from over twenty years ago. A killer her mother helped convict. Jennifer can no longer ignore the personal connection. Is there a copycat killer at work? Was the wrong man convicted? Or is there something more sinister at play …With her mother’s terrifying legacy spiralling out of control, Jennifer must look into her own dark past in a fight not only to stop a killer – but to save herself and those she loves.

Don't Turn Around by Caroline Mitchell, is not your average Crime thriller. It contains a strong hint of the paranormal, which I am not usually a fan of. Thankfully it works well within the context of the novel, and it wasn't too overpowering - which was what I was concerned about.

Jennifer Knight is called in to investigate a stabbing; the victim, a well known local ex-boxer, the perpetrator the equally well known local criminal Johnny Mallet. The crime seems cut and dry, a standard police case in the quiet town of Haven.

But then Johnny Mallet is found dead in a suspected suicide case, Jennifer begins to see and hear things that she hasn't experienced for years, and it all becomes a lot more interesting. As more people begin to lose their lives in seemingly unsuspicious circumstances, Jennifer begins to see paraellels with a murder investigation that her mother undertook some twenty plus years before.

Jennifer though must tread carefully, as she has been moved to Haven from a previous police role after voicing her paranormal beliefs. Not wanting to upset the apple cart but determined to solve the crime, convinced that they are only looking for one killer, Jennifer confides in her colleague Will. Who she knows will believe in her no matter what.

Jennifer Knight is a brilliant detective and her relationship with her colleague Will is excellent. If any two characters in a book should be together then its those two! Sadly any fledgling relationship they may have had is upset by the arrival of Ethan who has been sent to shadow Jennifer in her work. Young, goodlooking and great at his job, Will can't help but feel a little threatened by Ethan, and there are a few scenes that left me wondering whose side I was actually on?!

Don't Turn Around's ending was one I was not expecting, but it is one that has left a huge door open for a great future for Jennifer Knight and I can't wait to see where she goes next.

Don't Turn Around is released on 24 April 2015 and available to pre-order now from Amazon online.
