Missing Pieces by Laura Pearson

Friday, 20 July 2018

This was a thought provoking book. The first half of the book is about a young family whose world is torn apart when their young daughter dies at home whilst being left alone in the care of her 7 year old sister. She is pregnant at that time and is so overwhelmed with grief she turns to the bottle and pulls away from everyone around her. After the baby is born things get worse and she ends up taking her own life.
The 2nd part of the book now skips ahead and the baby- Bea discovers she is pregnant. Now she wants answers on how her young sister Phoebe died as it was never talked about at home. I read this book in 1 day it was that good. I wanted to keep reading to see if they got close again as a family and the family ghosts were laid to rest at last.

I was sent this book for free in exchange for my own honest opinion.

Sunday, 1 July 2018


This is a very compelling book that I found hard to put down. I hadn't read the first book in the series and the references back to the first book only made me want to read that one too. Abbie woke up in hospital after a most viscious attack and rape and couldn't remember what had happened. She is attending college and with her best friend Ty tries to get on with her life until her memory comes back. One lad at college goes out of his way to be friends with. He is using her to get back at someone else and what happens after the rape has a major life changing experience for Abbie. I was kept guessing right upto the end as to who had attacked her. I loved it from start to finish.

“This is the 2nd novel by Maggie Hope that I have read and I enjoyed it as much as I did the first.

Friday, 6 April 2018


I was sent an advanced copy of this book before release and really loved this book from start to finish. After being admitted to a mental institute for a few years after being accused of murduring her own daughter she is up for release. This book follows how hard it is to get back to a normal life after everyone knew what she did or thought she did. She doesn't have a close relationship with her sister who tries to help her adjust on the outside.
When she befriends another young woman things take a turn for the worse. Throughout my reading of the book I was asking myself was she guilty, was her new friend and things that happend just her mind playing tricks again. Right until the end it keeps you guessing and interested. I don't normally read this type of book but would recommend it.

“What can I say about this book other than how much I loved it. The book is focused on a man called Larry Glassbrook who was convicted of burying several teenagers alive.

Mumm'ys Favourite by Sarah Flint Book Review

Friday, 2 March 2018

I haven't read any of this author's books before but reading a bit of the bio got my attention. I downloaded it and after the first chapter found it hard to put it down. It is about a killer targeting mothers that favour one child over another and punishing both the mother and the child by making sure they stay together forever by brutely killing them. It is quite a graphic book so not for the screamish. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.“

Malaformed Realities Volume 3 - Book Review

Friday, 2 March 2018

I have never read a book like this before so really didn't know what to expect. I enjoyed most of the stories but did skip the clown one as it didn't keep my interest.
On the whole I would recommend this book as the stories were short and entertaining with enough horror and suspense to make them interesting.“

The Tracker by John Hunt - Book Review

Thursday, 1 March 2018

“I picked this book after reading the intro to the book and am so glad that I chose to read it. I read this in under 2 days as it was too good to put down and left you feeeling that you wantd to see what happened next.
The main character Taylor is one of societys missfts who was picked on for his size and was targeted by a man/creature called the Tracker as he wouldn't be missed by anyone.  He was given a set of rules that he had to obey or else face the consquences and told to run for his life. If he disobeyed any of the rules anyone  that he asked for help or involved them faced the most gruesome of deaths.
From start to finish you will be immersed in this book and will feel sorry for Taylor even though he does cause a few people to die the most horrendous death. I will look forward to read more of this authors books.

Defiant Souls - Fantastic Horror Book

Friday, 23 February 2018

“I have just finished reading a fantastic book called Defiant Souls written by Kathleen Chadwick. This is the first of her novels that I have read and will look forward to more of her work.
The cover of the book caught my attention first then afer reading what the story was about I decided I would give it a try.
It is about good versus evil, the devil or has come back again to try and take over the world by recruiting souls to help him in his goal. He didn't reckon on a young boy with the ability to see things teaming up with one of gods servants fighting to save the world. There is just enough horror and gore for those that like it without being too over the top.
This book had me hooked from start to finish and kept the suspense going right to the end.

I received this book to read for free for a review and is my own honest opinion of the book.
