The Silent House - Nell Pattison

Buy here

I was given the chance to read this as part of a tour. I have to say it sounded great and right up my street.
I wasn't wrong.

I really enjoyed this book, it was refreshing to have a book where the main characters, in fact most of them are deaf. This is not something that happens much.

I liked the idea of this book, it really does make you think that this can happen and there are families who never know if someone has been in their house. Let alone if something was happening to a member of the family.

Nell Pattison has a talent for drawing you here and there, thinking that you have worked it out. I couldn't guess who it was, I kept thinking I had it, when actually, I didn't. I enjoyed the short chapters in this book, it really held my attention.

I thought the way it counted down till the incident was good as well, really made you question what you thought you knew.

I am looking forward to reading more from this author, I think whatever is written next will be just as good if not better. Cannot wait to see what comes now.

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.
