Unravelling Oliver by Liz Nugent. Review

This book was incredible! From the first chapter I knew this was going to be a book that would be impossible to put down and I was right. This is a story about a man called Oliver and we get to see his life though his own eyes and more importantly through the eyes of others that were around him. He is a charismatic monster!
 This was such an intriguing story that I raced through it, I could not got enough of it ! I was so keen to find out what happened that I had to stay up late in the night to read every last word! The characters in the story are memorable and the plot is genius! I really loved this intricate tale told with such style and imagination. Go get this immediately!
 I am really looking forward to reading more by this author.

The Enchanted by Rene Delfeld.Review.

This was one of those books that you race through excited to the last page then sit there at the end amazed , completely dumbstruck and awed by what you have just read. This book was so good that I stayed up all night reading it because I could not put it down. I literally could not put it down! I made tea with this is my hand, I had conversations that I now don't remember because these characters were almost living breathing people as I read, and while I was emotionally invested in what was happening to them my own life blurred around the edges until I was finished the last sentence.There is a lot in this story that formed a lump in the back of my throat and we get glimpses of crimes that had we known every detail we would never close our eyes again. The writing was so beautiful and even when the plot contained violence there was beauty in the sentences . It really excites me when I read something this good that causes a storm of emotions and makes you feel alive and grateful and unable to leave the book down. This is an author to get very excited about.


I received this book from the cool guys over at Lovereading.co.uk for review.

Murder Of A Sleeping Beauty by Denise Swanson. Review.

I would like to start my review with a little gushing..yes you guessed it folks , I loved this!!!!!!
Murder of a Sleeping Beauty is part of the Scumble mystery series written by Denise Swanson and it features a main character called Skye Denison who lives in the Midwest. Skye is a school psychologist and she is a really awesome lady who is kind and fair and always seeks justice while remaining true to herself, she is also curvy and cute which I think is awesome in a character.
In this book one of the cheerleaders in the school is found dead and it is up to Skye to help out the kids trying to cope with her death while also trying to find out who did it and why. The victim was not exactly the sweet and huggie type so there was likely to be plenty of people who would be keen to see the back of this pom pom toting diva.
There was plenty of red herrings in the book and I could not guess who killed Lorelei but it sure was fun trying to guess who did it.
This book was another five star winner in my eyes. This is one series I hope never ends!

Book Haul February 2014

The Haunted Hotel by Wilkie Collins. Review.

I was not sure I was going to like this book as I had never read any Wilkie Collins before but I picked it up anyway and gave it a go as I loved the title.
It took me until I was about a quarter of the way through the book before I started to get into it. There is high drama as well as suspicious goings on. It really is hard to know who to trust in the story and so it is a guessing game from the beginning.
 The main characters of the story are:
Countess Narona .... I never warmer to her as a character, her motives always seemed suspect.
Agnes Lockwood...The wronged woman.... always seemed a little too perfect and composed.
Mr and Mrs Ferrari.. Intriguing....
Lord Mountbarry..... weak and hiding many things.
Countess Narona's brother... ohhhh he comes off as  a very dodgy character.....
When I did finally get into the book I enjoyed it but I did not love it. The plot has twists and turns a plenty and I was not putting this book down until I found out what was going on. The story was worth reading and I loved the cover.

Carry You by Beth Thomas is a book I received from Avon Books.An inspirational story told about a character called Daisy who lost someone close to her and who now is  slowly finding her way back into the world again.
