The Pretty Ones by Ania Ahlborn

"Wherever you go, there you'll be."  Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. This was... amazing. I was expecting to like this, but not love it! To begin with I wasn't sure what to think, it felt slow and boring to be honest and I thought Barrett was such an arsehole, but wow. The ending really satisfied me, …

The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison

“At night, the creature that was the Garden peeled back its synthetic skin to show the skeleton beneath.”  I got The Butterfly Garden as my May Kindle First book as it had the best reviews out of the bunch you could pick and definitely sounded like something I was interested in reading.

The Lake House by Kate Morton

The Lake House sounded really interesting to me because of its weave of three stories that make the one mystifying disappearance of young baby Theo. Our first of the three stories comes from the perspective of young Alice during the earlier years of the 1900’s, the second comes from current day, now serial author, Alice …

Victim Without a Face by Stephen Ahnhem

"In contrast to kindness, which has to be taught, nurtured, and developed, evil existed naturally from birth and grew more cunning throughout the years" I had high hopes for this book before I started it. Bagged it for a mere 99p on Kindle and it had hundreds of excellent reviews, not to mention it’s a …
