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.

The Puritan Princess - Miranda Malins

Buy Here PROLOGUE 30 JANUARY 1661 We stand together, shoulder to shoulder, skirt to skirt, like a chain of paper dolls, come to see our father’s execution. Our hoods are pulled low over our faces although, in truth, few in the crowd would recognise us without our finery: we grace no coins, no medals or prints, and it is hardly likely any of them would have seen our portraits hanging, as they had, in the palaces of Whitehall and Hampton Court. A frosted blast of wind whips around my cloak and sends the three nooses hanging from the gallows before me swinging as if the condemned men already danced their deaths. I stare at the gibbet in blank horror. It is a terrible thing, vast and three-sided like a triangle, designed, Father once told me, to hold twenty-four souls at a time. ‘Why did it have to be here?’ I speak sideways to my sisters. It is somehow worse, much worse, that this is happening at Tyburn, the dirty, eerie crossroads outside London where they hang common fe...
