Review .<p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">I had this book on my shelf for a long time , I dare say it was years . Within minutes of taking it down and opening it I was incredibly glad that I did , straight away I was pulled into the story and getting seriously invested in the characters , all of which were well described and very enjoyable to learn about . Jerusalem’s Lot is a special place , a small town with ordinary everyday people living their ordinary lives until one day it all changes , until one day the picture perfect small town goes completely to hell and it takes as many people with it as it can . Stephen King makes the ordinary minutiae of people’s lives extraordinary, each persons story unique , and each person special in their own way . It feels almost like you are peeking in at these peoples lives . While the first third of the book is getting to know the people and the town , it’s history and the buildings and businesses the next part of the story begins to cause unease and this sense of dread picks up speed quickly to the last pages . I read this in three sittings and that was from sheer willpower to make it last , this is one of my favourite Stephen King books and I loved every minute of being immersed in his world . This is definitely a book I will read again as some of it’s characters storylines have stayed with me and give me chills at the thought of them . This author is a genius at world building and I will never tire of his writing . Add this to your TBR pile .</span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11590._Salem_s_Lot">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11590._Salem_s_Lot</a></span></p> Edelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10106249651856705472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334515878465409727.post-90086398223122256412021-02-01T09:59:00.001-08:002021-02-01T09:59:25.442-08:00The Reader On The 6.27 by Jean-Paul Didierlaurent . Review . <div><br></div><div><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">This is the short and delightful tale of a young man called Guylain Vignolles who enjoys books but works in a book pulping factory !!!! Omg the horror !!!! </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">The story is about his daily routine which includes reading to the passengers on the train he takes to work . When he comes across a unique piece of reading material one day it brings new meaning and drive into his life and his world begins to open up in new and exciting ways. </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">This was just what I needed to read on a bleak and rainy cold day in January during a pandemic . The story is written in a beautiful way <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>, I really enjoyed the authors style , it is in short chapters so it feels like the book flies by while still managing to make you completely care about the characters . It was a delightful story and one I would recommend .

Review <p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">The story is about a woman called Margery Benson , Margery has led a very sensible life for the most part , but has had a secret life long ambition that in her mind has now reached fruition ... this is the time to get the ball rolling ! To fulfil her plan Margery needs an assistant and one arrives in the form of Enid Pretty , the least sensible option on paper for anyone to take anywhere to do anything , but as it turns out Enid’s upbeat optimistic spirit is going to help every step of the way . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">As I was reading this I kept thinking these ladies were like a 1950’s version of Thelma and Louise , if they had taken every conceivable mode of transport and went more off the beaten track so to speak .... close female friendship included . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">I truly loved this story from the opening pages to the very last one . You go through a lot with these characters so you get invested in their lives , I was rooting for them to do well . There is a few parts of the story that will make you stop and just absorb what has been said or happened . The writing can be very touching in places and by the time the book ends you feel well wrung out ( in a good way) . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">Add this book to your TBR list it won’t disappoint and was a refreshing tale of female adventure , love , and loss.</span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"></span><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52674676-miss-benson-s-beetle">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52674676-miss-benson-s-beetle</a></span></p> Edelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10106249651856705472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334515878465409727.post-31092568340031310392021-01-21T11:51:00.001-08:002021-01-21T11:51:13.534-08:00Mentors by Russell Brand . Review <div><br></div><div><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">I am a huge fan of Russell’s podcast and so I was thrilled to find out this incredibly smart eloquent man had also written some books . Mentors is the first book I decided to start with and I listened to the audio version of the book read by the author ( which I highly recommend ) . With an extensive colourful vocabulary you can’t help but pause whatever you are doing and be impressed as he talks about his remarkable journey in life through addiction recovery and so on while being very down to earth and forthcoming . Russell does not sugar coat things , I like that . With celebrities and social media right now seeing someone talk about faith and family , flaws and all , is very refreshing and gives a sense of hope and a feeling of being less alone . The book is inspiring and thought provoking and left me with a lot to think about . Anyone can gain a lot by taking time to read this . An inspiring read to reach for better in life and to work towards it . </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">Go get this ! </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mentors-How-Help-Be-Helped/dp/1250226279"></a></span><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mentors-How-Help-Be-Helped/dp/1250226279">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mentors-How-Help-Be-Helped/dp/1250226279</a></span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></p></div>Edelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10106249651856705472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334515878465409727.post-74579932694633317922021-01-10T09:35:00.001-08:002021-01-10T09:35:31.098-08:00Mine by Kelly Florentia . Review Book .<p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">I was thrilled when I got the chance to read Kelly’s newest book , I am a fan of her previous books and this newest addition to her writing sounded exciting , and that’s exactly what it was . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">The story begins soon after the main character and her partner split up and you get a real sense that her friends are really keeping her afloat during this tumultuous time when the main character Lucy is really struggling . As Lucy does keep her inner circle tight someone else finding their way past her armour now is unusual so when her very best friend recommends a man she is more willing to give this Pre approved person a chance . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">From very early on something seems not quite right , something is a little off in Lucy’s life and quickly this escalates to a terrifying degree bringing the reader along for the ride . I was totally a willing passenger ! There is more then one red herring in the story which leaves you with plenty to think about and and not much urge to set the story down which I love about a story . What starts as a rather light read gets increasingly tense and dangerous as I began reading faster to see if I could figure out what was going to happen , the pace of the book is fast , no resting on your laurels here , the story is packing punches all the way to the surprising end . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">If you love a thriller that will make you question everything then check out this new book by Kelly Florentia . </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">Publishing Date - February 1st</span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">Kelly Florentia -<a href="https://kellyflorentia.com/">https://kellyflorentia.com/</a></span></p> Edelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10106249651856705472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334515878465409727.post-64378147371827832432020-06-22T10:48:00.001-07:002020-06-22T10:48:25.053-07:00Currently Reading <p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Hello lovelies ! </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">I am back as promised with a little bit about what I am currently reading . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">The first book is Names For The Sea by Sarah Moss , the book is about Sarah and her husband and child as they take on a very big adventure when they decide to move to Iceland for a year. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>This book is non fiction and so far it’s a terrific story that is really daydream worthy if you like to fantasize about travel from the comfort of your armchair . I am about one third of the way through it ... you can expect a review of this soon . </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">The next book I am loving is The Other Bennett Sister by Janice Hadlow . This is a retelling of Pride and Prejudice told through the eyes of Mary Bennet , the bookish sister who was overlooked in Jane Austen’s story . I am loving this ... seeing the plot through Mary’s eyes is eye opening , and the plot is very moreish , I can’t get enough of these characters and I am rooting for Mary in this book . I feel a bit sorry for her character but she has a spine of steel , I thinks she is going to be just fine . </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">The Third book is an audible book by Sarah Blondin , the hard back is ordered but no sign of it yet being shipped . Sarah is beyond amazing at meditation . If you are curious about meditation or are a life long devotee of the practice then I highly recommend her meditations on the Insight Timer App , it’s free to download and listen and very enjoyable . Sarah also has a YouTube channel and website that is also worth checking out . On her website is all the links you need to find her . I am a third of the way through her book and it’s so enjoyable and relatable . Full of helpful insights and tips and meditations that can help center yourself during turmoil and when you feel a little unsteady in yourself . </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Well guys that’s all for now ... reviews and more book chats coming very soon ... xx</span></p> Edelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10106249651856705472noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334515878465409727.post-34542332277596374212020-06-13T13:48:00.001-07:002020-06-13T13:48:57.553-07:00Here We Go ! <br><br> <div><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Dear friends </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">It feels strange to sit here and talk to you after so long . I think most of us will no doubt have had a trying time these past few months and although lockdown is easing somewhat , day to day life is far from being back to normal . It still feels like we were all dropped into the middle of a science fiction movie... player one , let’s begin ! </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Ok let’s begin with a bit about me ....I have had depression most of my life with anxiety and panic attacks thrown in for the craic , I jest but they are no laughing matter . Indeed right now I am at an all time low and they are at an all time high but as most of the people who follow my blog do not know me in real life I can say with a certain degree of comfort that I feel very unsettled , very lost and afraid . To look at me from the outside I could be smiling , but there is a lot of swan like motion under the surface . I have searched for ways and means to ease what’s going on in my head ... in there right now it is all barbed wire and sharp edges , there is no place to ease into and find rest , mornings are greeted with a panic alarm where I wake in full on panic attack mode ... not the best way to start any day and the after affects linger throughout them with muscle pain and a sore chest and the fear of the next one striking <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>. Trying to lie still after waking in this way is unbearable so I get up , no matter the time and try to function in some way to get through the worst of it when fear and adrenaline fill every cell in my body . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">I am writing this today as an attempt to apologize and explain my absence and to get back some semblance of normality in my life , also to let you know that there will be a minimum <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>of 1 post per week starting this coming week . Posts will be uploaded at the beginning of each week . It will be a mix of book and life blog posts with the first one going up this coming Sunday / Monday . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">So lovelies I leave you now ... and hope to be back with you very soon ... mind yourselves xxxx </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p></div>Edelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10106249651856705472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334515878465409727.post-31048461159902913752020-04-01T04:47:00.001-07:002020-04-01T04:47:14.406-07:00Starting Over At Acorn Cottage by Kate Forster.

Clara is hilarious , truly gifted in the sarcastic comment distribution and it makes this heartwarming tale very funny and touching <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>.

We the readers are drip fed little snippets and they build up to a very satisfactory back story linked to current crimes . From the opening chapter , the authors description of a mans evening <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>routine that quickly turns awry made me became instantly curious about this mans <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>life and eager to know more . This is a story covering many things like abuse , coverups , and payback , primarily told through the eyes of the detectives working the case and those they interviewed . I loved every page and just flew through it in an evening . Go add this to your TBR list immediately it’s full of twists and turns and sure to keep you up reading to the wee hours :0) </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><img id="id_ef02_874f_fc17_eafb" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/Ezyn7slA3LDQ5KSLU8GJmfg28R6TUx7XKIJiB3F7cTViXmT5O2V4n5OuGPB0Ad8" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Italic"; font-style: italic; font-size: 17pt;">For Better, For Worse</span><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">, Jane Isaac</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s3" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17pt; text-decoration: underline;">About the book</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Stuart Ingram was once a respected local councillor...</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">The first time the police knocked on Gina's door, they arrested her husband.</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">The second time, they accused him of child abuse.</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">But he died a guilty man.</span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">This time, the police are here for Gina – to tell her that her husband is dead.

The story is set in Dublin and centers around the sudden and suspicious death of a woman who has a very serious illness . Could it be murder or was it suicide ?? The deceased had a horrible husband who she had been separated from for a while but now he is under the glare of Gardaí in the investigation . I really loved the idea behind this story , the more I read the better it got . The plot was interesting from the very first chapter , and as the story goes on it gives us part of the story from different peoples perspectives and another part in flashbacks to before the death of the victim , which I very much enjoyed <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>. There was a couple of people in this book who’s motives seemed shady to me so I was keen to keep reading to see was one of them the killer .... I could not have been more surprised by the ending of this story when everything is revealed and it was so worth waiting for <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>! I think if you love a good detective story with a strong female detective then you will love this , seeing the human side of DS Kennedy and what she was personally going through during the case makes you love her even more . </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">I received this book in exchange for a review from Netgalley . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;">About the author</span></p><img id="id_f68b_487_3898_5678" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/LRbUzNcpeB_s7CwLFoIopyq1LRnGvlbYiScmmJpEL0DhPi9kisa8R468c0Mt6Mk" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17pt;"><br></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Adele is a writer from Co.

Blog Tour / Review </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">From the opening pages of this Co. Cork based detective story I knew I was going to love it and I was right . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Let me start with the fact that it was so refreshing to see so much of the Irish slang and general way of speaking in a story , although I am around it all the time you sometimes forget how utterly unique and special it is , we sometimes take it for granted , it was a delight to come across in a book . The love for this book does not stop there as it carries over to the back and forth banter between characters too , they are witty and interesting , there is no denying they are all great even if a few of them are complete rascals . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">When the story began with a Judge getting blown up I knew I was in for a hell of a ride with this plot and it did not let me down . Apart from gang related crime there is also someone randomly pushing people in the River Lee too and the body count is mounting giving the detectives plenty to occupy their time ... </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">This was such an enjoyable story and it was made all the more exciting when I found out this is book 11 in a series , I cannot wait to read the rest of the books in this series featuring main character Katie Maguire . Go read this now , it does not disappoint. </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">I received this book in exchange for a review . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"><br></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><font face=".SFUIText"><span style="font-size: 22.66666603088379px;">Find out more about this terrific author below . </span></font></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><img id="id_d5b_986d_103_6aa6" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/Gd62V7zwAkxTamurGRpCLOvn5SH4Eu-42Icx50ImebpuRdHqBkg22QVctzuQG0c" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Italic"; font-style: italic; font-size: 17pt;">The Last Drop of Blood</span><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">– Graham Masterton</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s3" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17pt; text-decoration: underline;">About the book</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">The </span><span class="s4" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17pt;">final</span><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> thriller in the million-copy-selling Katie Maguire series.</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s4" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17pt;">In the driver's seat of a Jaguar, on a country road, a good man burns.</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Justice Garrett Quinn should have been at a sentencing.

The story is about a woman called Kate who has a very special skill that enabled her to be able to recognize any face for all her life , it’s a skill that not many people have and was very useful to the police when she worked with them until she had an accident that caused damage to her brain . While recovering with her boyfriend things begin to seem off and that when the trouble begins .... I knew after a few pages in that I was not going to be able to put this book down so I didn’t and carried on reading until the early hours of the morning . The story is eerie and tense , it has lingered with me since I finished reading it as it is anybody’s worst nightmare. This story about a doppelgänger is an uneasy read in all the right ways , it’s just soooooo good , it keeps you guessing and you are never sure who you can really trust in the story . Go add this to your TBR immediately.</span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">I received this book in exchange for a review .</span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><img id="id_ce88_e2e7_9407_c9af" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/Cs1q2---d_TJnUHNVpLX9lALN6kGH1gyI1OGHClo6F3dNKBRLkHBLpL5O4w" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Italic"; font-style: italic; font-size: 17pt; text-decoration: underline;">The Other You, </span><span class="s3" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt; text-decoration: underline;">J.S.

Cameron is a master of deception and his entire life is made up of lies , each one of them is worse then the last . As the story really begins with his death , we as readers don’t see what he was like while alive but we do learn about what he got up to and see how far reaching his path of destruction could go and how many it could hurt in so many ways . I really enjoyed this story , seeing the story from the perspective of the people working the case is an interesting one , they are essentially putting together this puzzle of this man and the pieces are getting juicer by the day . The plot was very interesting because we find out gradually so much of what he did and it made this very hard to put down . I think if you love a good detective story then pick this one up without a doubt . </span></font></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">I received this book in exchange for a review . </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><img id="id_4da_8274_da5_d1c" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/9tQL_fS-AjCCE30LQXNCM-xlqe0PJft8p_wLk-53QGxn5GAiWvf_a4j0hsA" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Italic"; font-style: italic; font-size: 17pt;">The Other Woman</span><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">, Jane Isaac</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s3" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17pt; text-decoration: underline;">About the book</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">The grieving widow.

Nope this tale does not end like that at all !!!!

When he's not driving his wife and two children to distraction with all the typing, he enjoys hillwalking, fresh air and the natural world, and can often be found asking the way to the nearest pub in the Lake District. His short stories have been published in several books including the Daily Telegraph's Ghost Stories and the Northern Crime One anthology. His Glasgow detective, Inspector Lomond, is appearing in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine. He took the runner-up spot in the 2014 Bloody Scotland crime-writing competition with “Ghostie Men”. His work has also been performed on stage in London by Liars’ League. He has also been shortlisted for the Red Cross International Prize, the William Hazlitt essay prize and the Bridport Prize.</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s5" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17pt;">Follow P.R.

With a family business comes the good and bad of family life all under the watchful gaze of the matriarch Miranda who is now getting on in years and is looking for the next family member to step into her shoes . Callie , Ada , and Simon are Miranda’s children , each one is going through their own personal struggles , they are finding that their home town is calling them back again so they can get themselves back on steadier feet . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">This was such a cosy and enjoyable read . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">I love Faith’s world building in her books and how even though some of the characters are flawed you are still rooting for them . Miranda and Callie were my favorite characters , these are strong women who despite what happens in their life seem to thrive from what ever is thrown at them . Admirable traits. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys books similar to Sheila O’Flanagan , Cathy Kelly , Maeve Binchy .</span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">I received this book in exchange for a review :0)</span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><img id="id_6aaa_5168_8eca_7498" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/46ZmE0_RYSrhu6tmpU5ec23hahxsWIzAGK0b4X5JiTegmVy0CfqyYcDAgEE" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-BoldItalic"; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 17pt; text-decoration: underline;">The Place We Call Home</span><span class="s3" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17pt; text-decoration: underline;">by Faith Hogan</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s4" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17pt;">About the author</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Faith lives in the west of Ireland with her husband, four children and two very fussy cats.

I love a good mystery and this one set in a nursing home ticked all the right boxes for me . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">A very elderly woman is found dead in her room ... but this is no ordinary lady , she was healthy , smart , and had plenty of opinions that she did not mind sharing , no matter if they were wanted or not ...</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">I loved this story , we learn early that there is more to the victim then initially it seems but the story does not give away too much too soon so it keeps us guessing giving us little clues along the way about her life . I really enjoyed trying to guess who the killer was , there was a few to choose from and it was extremely fun trying to shorten the list to who it could be . I also enjoyed the detectives banter between themselves and seeing the case from their perspective as the net closed in on the killer . If you enjoy a really good mystery than this is definitely one to pick up immediately. Great plot , great characters , great fun ! </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><img id="id_2366_e5f1_d3b0_e578" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/5xlLoEy8G9bNLHVn42kyH88r1R_1IEgJqfKukA1HUVu140YbVaW6jMBVXVE" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Death at Eden’s End – Jo Allen</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17pt;">About the author</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Jo Allen was born in Wolverhampton and is a graduate of Edinburgh, Strathclyde and the Open University. After a career in economic consultancy she took up writing and was first published under the name Jennifer Young in genres of short stories, romance and romantic suspense. In 2017 she took the plunge and began writing the genre she most likes to read – crime. Now living in Edinburgh, she spends as much time as possible in the English Lakes. In common with all her favourite characters, she loves football (she’s a season ticket holder with her beloved Wolverhampton Wanderers) and cats.</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17pt;">Follow Jo:</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Twitter: @JoAllenAuthor</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Facebook: @JoAllenAuthor</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17pt;">About the book</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">A brand new DCI Jude Satterthwaite crime mystery from the bestselling Jo Allen.</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">When one-hundred-year-old Violet Ross is found dead at Eden's End, a luxury care home hidden in a secluded nook of the Lake District's Eden Valley it's tragic, of course, but not unexpected.

In this book there is a new visitor to the village , all the way from Mexico . Chabela has arrived here with a broken heart and ambitions of finding family connections in the area while also stirring up some of the locals with her exotic style . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">In another part of the village love is crashing and burning as neighbors try and find their way when their relationships hit the rocks .</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">This is an uplifting read and I don’t think it’s necessary to have read the previous books in the series to appreciate the story . I really enjoyed that the story took us from Cornwall to further afield, it was a very enjoyable part of the story and it really added to my enjoyment reading about other cultures . Liz and Chabela are the main female characters , both their storylines are engrossing and I was never quite sure how the author was going to finish the book . I am relieved to say it was very satisfying. I will definitely read more by the author and I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys a seaside setting or a cosy , feel-good read .</span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal;

Review <img id="id_939d_6441_4f43_82db" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/ZTes7KYjNL9ZfOvuqYLDs7ux8ud-T_pWAXqi_-tjAygGJQX1dDTO0EzleEY" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br> <div><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">The story begins with Lucy in hospital in New York after having surgery . Lucy is a daughter , mother , and wife , and during the duration of reading the story we get to see glimpses of her life from being a young girl up to present day . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">This story is told in such a way it has an almost dream like quality to it where information is given to the reader very subtlety that I found myself reading over a few parts twice . The story covers subjects like the mother and daughter relationship, mental health , family secrets , growing up in small towns , marriage , love , lust and longing and for under 200 pages it does this beautifully. This was the first time I have read anything by the author and I was very impressed and I am already working my way through another book of hers with another waiting for me on the shelf . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Do I recommend this ...... absolutely, without any doubt . </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Links below :</span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Elizabeth Strout:</span></p><p class="p3" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(228, 175, 10); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"><a href="https://www.elizabethstrout.com/">https://www.elizabethstrout.com/<span class="s2" style="font-size: 17pt; color: rgb(228, 175, 10);"></span></a></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Goodreads:</span></p><p class="p3" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(228, 175, 10); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/97313.Elizabeth_Strout">https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/97313.Elizabeth_Strout<span class="s2" style="font-size: 17pt; color: rgb(228, 175, 10);"></span></a></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(228, 175, 10); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></p><p class="p3" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(228, 175, 10); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></p></div>Edelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10106249651856705472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334515878465409727.post-43866645513560043552019-11-21T01:57:00.001-08:002019-11-21T01:57:42.774-08:00The Country Lovers by Fiona Walker Review and Blog Tour.<img id="id_8ed7_e844_75f8_642" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/A0yBl_w-fo3O8o3hO72ftkKj9jEEPPSkVr0O8rvvAhPic-EeOPX6GlRLObc" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br> <div><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">This is the second book in the Compton Magna series and it features Ronnie Percy and my favorite character , the lovable Irish horseman called Luca . Luca is extremely talented with horses , very smart and has a way with most people and animals he comes across . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">The story combines small village life with horses , scandal , love and loss in a way that Fiona Walker does very well in getting you completely invested in these characters and their lives and relationships . The book is huge , truly a book to get your teeth into and set aside for a weekend where you won’t be disturbed and can immerse completely in the Compton Magna community and what’s going on behind all those closed doors .</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px;

Does Ronnie think he's lost his touch with the horses? And anyway, who is this so-called Horsemaker, Luca O'Brien? Why does he seem to be running away from something? And what is the true story of his relationship with grey stallion Beck, once destined for the Olympics, now broken and unrideable, screaming his anger from the Compton Magna stables.</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Passionate, sexy, gripping, laced with her trademark wisdom and humour, this is bestselling Fiona Walker at her dazzling best.</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s3" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17pt;">About the author</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Fiona Walker is the author of eighteen novels, from tales of flat-shares and clubbing in nineties London to today’s romping, rural romances set amid shires, spires and stiles.

She writes female-driven historical fiction set in WWII. The Girl I Left Behind is her first novel. She would love to say she spends her free time gardening and cooking, but she’s killed everything she’s ever planted and set off more fire alarms than she cares to admit. Andie does, however, love spending time with her family, ultra trail running, and drinking copious amounts of coffee.</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s4" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17pt;">Follow Andie:</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Twitter: @AndieNewton</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Facebook: @newtonauthor</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s4" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17pt;">Buy links:</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Amazon: https://amzn.to/32GJoTe</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">iBooks: https://apple.co/2WelLPw</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Kobo: https://bit.ly/2BH78e1</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Google Play: https://bit.ly/31K2pCR</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p></div>Edelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10106249651856705472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334515878465409727.post-70534421816002992382019-11-12T02:51:00.001-08:002019-11-12T02:51:54.340-08:00Orion Lost by Alastair Chisholm .

Review </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">This was such an emotional rollercoaster of a story .... I found myself sitting with sentences and paragraphs , my heart breaking for these characters as they went through so much . What started as an off hand gift from a stranger would take Rico and her family on a rare journey of learning and life experiences . </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">The female lead character is called Rico , she is a very responsible teenager who has too many hard times put upon her young life and she is struggling to keep her head above water and her mental health above sinking right to the bottom of this earth . Rico is a good daughter , but an absolutely tremendous sister to her brother , their relationship is something special and their moments in the story, of which there are many, are special and incredibly touching . This was a one sit read for me , I could not leave these characters for a moment and I am glad that I did this , these characters are going to stay with me for a long time. It’s also worth pointing out the story is often told from the point of view of inanimate objects . It gives an unusual and thought provoking element to the story that I had not experienced before but very much enjoyed . Go read this , it’s worth it ! </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">I received this book for review from the lovely people over at lovereading4kids.co.uk</span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Lovereading4kids:</span></p><p class="p3" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(228, 175, 10); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"><a href="https://www.lovereading4kids.co.uk/book/16598/Jackpot-by-Nic-Stone.html">https://www.lovereading4kids.co.uk/book/16598/Jackpot-by-Nic-Stone.html<span class="s2" style="font-size: 17pt; color: rgb(228, 175, 10);"></span></a></span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Goodreads :</span></p><p class="p3" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(228, 175, 10); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36077176-jackpot">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36077176-jackpot<span class="s2" style="font-size: 17pt; color: rgb(228, 175, 10);"></span></a></span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br></p></div>Edelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10106249651856705472noreply@blogger.com4
