Six Tudor Queens :Anne Boleyn : A King's Obsession. Review by Alison Weir

If you love reading about King Henry and his notorious love life then this awesome fictional retelling of King Henry and Anne Boleyn will make a very enjoyable read . The story is fascinating and the woman herself even more so . I felt sorry for Queen Katherine as Anne had a plan and was going to stop at nothing to get what she wanted , to be married to the King . If you love history then this makes a terrific read , the behind the scenes details of what went on in King Henry's court and the insatiable desires of a powerful man make this impossible to put down .

Song Of The Current by Sarah Tolcser. Review

Set in a magical world,  the  main character of the story is a girl called Caro , most of her life is lived on the water like the generations of her family before her . Caro is a really strong female character with plenty of gumption and a will to succeed in an unusual place for a female, on the river,  transporting merchandise and lots more  . While on the river there is all manner of person , some good , some a little shady , these characters are really interesting and Caro slowly learns that not everything or everyone is as they seem and it's about to set her on a completely new path.

The Friend by Dorothy Koomson . Review

The book starts after a serious accident has happened . The book is separated into sections each one dedicated to each individual woman involved and we see the story unfold through each of the ladies eyes . The focus of the story is about one woman in the group that was essentially the leader of their group , the ultimate "Mean Girl" ! 

We don't find out for a long time what exactly has happened or why, but after seeing the backstory of these women's lives and their relationship with this one woman , it gives a darkness to the plot as each woman has her own issues and secrets that they don't want known or used against them . I am a big fan of this author and this book does not disappoint . Mystery , intrigue and well written characters made this impossible to put down so I had to ignore all housework until I finished it . It was terrific!

Greatest Hits by Laura Barnett . Review

The main character of the story is Cass Wheeler , a very famous singer from the 70's  that vanished from the music industry for ten years only to reappear with an album consisting of 16 songs , each one about a part of her life that means a lot to her . These songs help show us more about the woman behind the songs , her life and loves and all the ups and downs she faced that explain her absence from the industry she had loved so much . A touching and heartbreaking story of one woman's journey through life .

Crazy House by James Patterson & Gabrielle Charbonnet . Review

Set in a dystopian world where families live in cells , a four mile area that each family works . Cassie and her twin Becca live there without their parents and they farm . The government that rules over everyone is a frightening one where people can be taken away to be "adjusted" , and there are special places for those who do not follow orders , that is where these twin sisters find themselves . The story is engrossing , at first Cassie and Becca seem to have very different personalities  but when they are put in a horrible situation they both really shine and stand up for what they believe no matter what! Often brutal , the story keeps you on your toes as you don't know what horror these girls are going to have to face next and  just when you think it can't get worse it does! The story has a few surprises that I did not see coming , especially the ending , it left me gobsmacked . If you enjoyed The Hunger Games then check this out!

Fierce Kingdom by Gin Philips . Review

The story is set in a zoo over a period of one day where a mother called Joan and her young son are enjoying seeing all the animals and walking around the exhibits , suddenly gunfire is heard and the reason behind it becomes apparent setting in motion a high octane thrilling plot . 

I really liked Joan , she has a lot of guts and her  protective instincts as a mother are strong . It was fascinating seeing how Joan was going to cope with what was happening when there was a very real threat to their safety . It was one of those books that gives you goosebumps while reading it and a sense of uneasiness, I found myself holding my breathe during parts , almost like I was there with them  . The plot is scary because it feels like it really could happen and the bad guys were not easily understandable making them even more scary , their motives were sketchy. I loved this! Anyone who wants a book to keep you on the edge of your seat needs to read this . Awesome!
