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.

Let it Snow - Sue Moorcroft

Buy Here I have to be honest and say I am only 70% through this book, so I will review up to where I have read. When I started this book I was a bit unsure where it was going or what it was doing. However it was soon explained as the characters and the plot started to thicken.  I am really enjoying getting to know the characters and going through their life with them. Highs and low. Of course as always some are more liked than others, but I'll let you make your own judgement on that!  Sue really does describe the atmosphere and the locations so that you can see them and imagine you are there too. It's making me want to wrap up warm and go and play in the snow.  I am excited to read the rest of the book and hopefully my predictions are correct.... Or not!
