Wow wow wow this is the 1st book I read of Lucinda berry. Now on a mission to read all her books. Absolutely incredible, full of twists and turns,didn’t see any of them coming. At one point I literally threw this book because I was so shocked. You ne...
Phantom Limb by Lucinda Berry

John Marrs blows my mind everytime I read one of his books. I never see the ending,I never see the twists and turns. I love how at the end of the book I think ‘how did i not see that, it all makes sense now’ am really enjoying the universe he has cre...
The One by John Marrs

This is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read. I loved it. This book is short more of a novella really. It is one of those books that make you think ‘what if this happened to me’ as well as ‘is it in the genes?’ I highly suggest having this as an audiobook. It elevates ...
One of Our Own by Lucinda Berry

This is a good read. I enjoyed the story line. It is book 1, I believe book 2 coming in 2026. But could be read as a stand alone as all storylines were resolved at the end. Full of lots of twists and turns, and lots of twists that were not even on yo...
We are all guilty here by Karin Slaughter

My favourite book so far on 2026. Not only does it have the best cover ever. It has the best title, and the actual book is amazing. Never thought you would be ‘rooting’ for the killer to get away with it or that you would empathise with a sociopath?...

Well done Freida!! This would have to be one of her best books, definetly in the top 3 in my opinion. This book she took it up a notch and had clear cut well written characters who were unique. I loved the inner monologue Debbie had. I read this thin...
Dear Debbie

Want to question yourself every step of the way in a book? Then this is for you. I thought I knew what was happening, and then something would take place on the book and I would be questioning if I was on the right or wrong track. This book had you g...
What Lies Beneath Fractured Minds Thriller

Another great book by Lucinda berry. This would be one of my favourites of hers so far. I was so drawn into this book and this tragic story that befalls 3 families. It keeps you guessing all the way through. There’s lots of little sub plots or variou...
The best of friends

I enjoyed this novella or short story more than ‘a perfect child’ which is what it follows. I love that this resolved things that I felt hadn’t been resolved in the 1st book.
A Welcome Reunion: A Short Story

This book was so much fun!!! I loved it. If you were one of those kids that loved a ‘choose your own adventure’ book this is for you. It is so witty and silly and ott but that’s what makes it a great,fun,light read. Don’t expect anything deep, meanin...
The Dinner Party: A Pick Your Poison Adventure
 
Melissa parker profile picture
This book is short, but boy does it pack a punch. This book puts you on an emotional roller coaster, you will be laughing, anxious, get angry and get teary. I think this book hits home for so many people. It looks at childhood anxiety and how childre...
A monster calls

This is a very short book, one that you can sit and read in an hour or so. Every word in this book is warranted and needs to be there. If you want fluff and a whole lot of useless words, this is not for you. The tempo and writing is so precise, it fl...

I absolutely love John Marrs, and this book is a part of the one universe. Though not ‘realistic’ sadly one can imagine it is only a matter of time and it may be, science fiction meets reality…maybe. John always gives us the twists we love
The marriage act

Another fantastic book from Lucinda Berry. Lucindas writing flows so well. Each character is unique and each has their own story. This book has some pretty dark storylines though, so you really need to check your trigger warnings. This book looks at ...
Appetite for Innocence

This was a bit of an unusual mystery of psychological thriller, as half way through the book, you knew who the victim was, who the perpetrator was, how the crime was committed, you just didn’t know the why. I was a bit concerned at the half way point...
What Happened to Nina?
 
Melissa parker profile picture
Another great book by this author. I love the way she writes her books, and her characters. There were a lot of characters in this book, yet each character was unique, different styles of dialogue and language, the twists kept on coming, and I saw no...
Keep Your Friends Close

This is the first book I have read by the author Dervla McTiernan, and let me tell you, I immediately went out and added all their other books to Libby and my amazon wishlist. I have since read another of their books, and yes it made it to my list.Th...
Three Reasons for Revenge: Crime Thriller

Wow this book gets you thinking. In this ‘disaster’ type book, where a catastrophic event is occurring which means the end of life as we know it, how do we navigate the new world and new threats in order to survive. I believe this book has been picke...
Bird Box
 
Melissa parker profile picture
This is book 2 of a duology, following on from bird box. I was a bit hesitant about this as sometimes the second book is a bit of a letdown, but not in this case. This book exceeded expectations, I enjoyed this one even more than bird box. There was ...
Malorie: One of the Best Horror Stories

What a book, this certainly gets conversations going!! I haven’t seen the tv adaption, and read this with my local bookclub. This book is probably best read as a shared reading experience, as you will want to talk about it!!! This book really highlig...
All Her Fault (TV Tie-In)

Very interesting book. A book which flicks between the past and the present to tell the story, and I love that writing style. Does raise some interesting questions, like what rights (if any) do parents have over adult children. Do they have the right...
In Her Defence: Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick

My favourite thriller of August. This book was like peeling an onion discovering layer after layer of the story as you went. What you think is a lovely vacay with grandfather and his grandchildren is not what it seems. And the major twist - mind blow...
He Started It: Sunday Times Top 10 Thriller

Another great psychological thriller. Had ‘the housemaid’ vibes initially. I did a buddy read for this which I loved, I think we read this in a day. The story just grabs you and drags you in. How the story unfolded I could never have guessed. As soon...
Sphere Hidden Pictures: The Boldest Twist

This book was unputdownable!!! I read it in a day. It drew me in and it was another ‘mic drop’ moment once all was revealed!! I thought I was on the right track (but I really wasn’t) there were so many stories and storyline’s going on within these st...
