We Met in December - Rosie Curtis

When I started this book my first thought was that it was a bit early to be reading a Christmas novel. However, I in my true fashion didn't read the blurb, or had done but had forgotten it.

This is not a Christmas novel at all, rather it is a beautiful, well written one. With characters you can't help but fall in love with.

I enjoyed the fact that chapters were from both characters perspective. It gave the book more dynamic feel and allowed you to get in their heads a bit more.

The author has done a really good job describing all the scenes. It made you feel like you were there walking along side them, or sitting in the house. It is something we can all relate to, we have all had a house share where crushes develop. It felt very real, the storyline was not far fetched, but people just getting through life and the speed bumps you hit along the way.

I have nothing but praise for this book and the author. Brilliant. Perfect to snuggle up to under a blanket with a cuppa and some chocolate.

The Slow Lane Walkers Club - Rosa Temple

Buy Here This is my first book by Rosa Temple and it won't be my last. I was a bit unsure when I started it. However I loved it. Its not often I finish a book and end up hugging it because I loved it so much. The characters were great, Hazel is amazing. She reminds me of an old family friend who never gives up no matter what. Daniel is a kind lad who I think is slightly misunderstood when he arrives back in Cornwall. Their relationship is fantastic, one you can only dream about having with your grandmas friend. This book is one big giant hug and it's exactly what I needed at the time of reading. Once you start you dont want to stop. Best book of the year so far!

Mimic - Daniel Cole

Buy Here Having previously read Daniel coles books I was looking forward to this stand alone novel. It packs a punch right from the word go and it doesn't let up throughout the book. So many murders and so many what ifs.... And what an earths?! I liked Chambers and Winter as detectives and their relationship that they had. They never lost charm even if there was a 7 year break in the book for them. They picked up exactly where they left off. The book was very clever in the way that the murders took part. It was all a work if art. And don't worry if you are like me and aren't sure what they are there are paintings in the book to help you incase you cannot visual it. Great read.

Rock Paper Scissors - Alice Feeney

Buy Here This has to be one of the best books that I have read in a while. It really does have that, just one more chapter feel to it. I don't want to say too much as it will spoilt it and the blurb speaks for itself. I liked the characters in this book and it really does get you thinking. I actually had an 'omg what?!' moment with this book.. I had to go back an rethink everything I had read up until that point. If i had start this during the day I'm sure I would have finished it in one too. Really great read and cannot wait to read morw by this author.
