I INVITED HER IN ADELE PARKS

Published by Harper Collins HQ Stories

MY REVIEW

The famous word UNPUTDOWNABLE !!

Adele Parks has always been on my top list of favourite authors.

When Mel lets her old friend Abi from university come to stay in her home with her family, after Abi leaves her husband. Little does Mel know that her own family are about to ripped apart, all by her old friend Abi. Honstly with Abi’s demands and smoking, I would’nt have let her stay as long as she needed too. I wanted Mel to get a grip and send Abi on her way to find somewhere else to stay. My advice every reader needs to read this book and read every word, every page, I assure you all lots of twists that you won’t see coming.

Adele Parks has a new book out Lies Lies Lies in September 2019.

My Sister The Serial Killer Oyinkan Braithwaite

MY SISTER THE SERIAL KILLER BY OYINKAN BRAITHWAITE

Hardback published by Atlantic Books

Excellent A must buy, must read

Femi makes three you know. Three and they label you a serial killer.

When Korede’s dinner is interrupted one night by a distress call from her sister, Ayoola, she knows what’s expected of her bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel and a strong stomach. This’ll be the third boyfriend Ayoola dispatched in self defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away. She should probably go to the police for the good of the menfolk of Nigeria, but she loves her sister and, as they say, family always come first. Until, that is, Ayoola starts dating a doctor at the hospital where Korede works as a nurse. Korede’s long been in love with him, and isn’t prepared to see him wind up with a knife in his back but to save one would mean sacrificing the other.

Taking wicked aim at male impropriety and celebrating the bright spirit of sisterhood, My Sister, the Serial Killer is a murderously good novel of moral dilemmas, family and fatalities.

MY REVIEW

My Sister The Serial Killer is one hundred percent excellent, being a must buy, must read. I’m extremely happy to say that this thriller came top of my list for one of the most page turning thrillers that I have read in 2018. I have to say that it’s unbelievable that this book is Oyinkan Braithwaite who is a Nigerian author first novel. I’m now following Oyinkan so I can keep up with the next instalment. What makes this the book of the year for me is that it’s set in a different part of the world in Lagos Nigeria. What I found is that every single character that appears is interesting to read about. Don’t be put off by knowing early on in the story that Ayoola kills her boyfriends, here in this story is the most interesting part is that her sister Korede is a dream of a sister, she goes out of her way to help her younger sister cover her tracks. Now both are involved, will they both get away it? Loved every second of this thriller so for me it’s a story I won’t be forgetting. My strong advice is to read this book in the year in 2019.

MY REVIEW

This is my favourite book at the end of the 2018 year!! If you haven’t read it I honestly recommend it as its a page turner full of suspense and everyone’s a suspect. At the Loch Corrin Estate, thick snow is falling rapidly, when a guest goes missing. In the poor visibility the police aren’t going to make it, to search for the missing guest as the police have climbers stuck on Ben Nevis and another situation near Fort William. With all guests trapped in the heavy snow, all signs are now pointing to its not just a case of a guest gone missing, no it’s not accident but significant signs are pointing at a murder within friends. Yes I do honestly highly recommend this book to be on your to read or buy list.

MY REVIEW

Snow Angel Cove is the first paperback that I have read by RaeAnne Thayne, I enjoyed it so much that I’m now following RaeAnne, this way I can now keep up with all the books in future that will be published. A beautiful story. Eliza Hayward is excited to start a new job as a hotel manager.

Aiden Caine founder and CEO of Caine Tech had just crashed his car into Eliza Jane Howard. Once Eliza can be released from hospital she has been invited to stay overnight at Mr Caine’s house. The best romance bit that I always like to read is when Eliza is fighting her attraction for Aiden. Will romance blossom between Eliza and Aiden? One of the best books that I’ve read. Highly recommend this story it’s packed with a delicious Christmas story that can really be read any time of year.

MY REVIEW

Debbie Macomber is one of my favourite authors, I’ve read and reviewed A Girls Guide To Moving On and Dashing Through The Snow. Now I’ve read Alaskan Holiday which is beautifully romantic.

MY REVIEW

I’ve never read any books by Emma Heatherington before, but I’m so overjoyed that I have read one my favourite themes a Christmas story, to be introduced to Emma Heatherington how well she writes. I really do recommend A Miracle On Hope Street. Ruth Ryans is an agony aunt for a newspaper helping others with their problems. Her kindness seems to creates miracles for everyone. But Ruth with a celebrity life style has heartache of her own with her fathers death. We all know what’s it’s like to lose someone close to us, specially remembering them at Christmas time. Reading about Ruth losing her father is a little sad, but there’s lots to look forward to without giving too much away, Just like it says on the front cover This Christmas she’ll bring them all together.
