Dirty Dealings - Gillian Godden

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

‘What the hell are you doing? Get off me!’ Shocked horror filled her. She couldn’t believe what was happening. Only a few minutes ago they were laughing and talking. Now, leaning forward, he grabbed a handful of her hair and pulled her down to the floor to her knees. He kicked her backwards with his steel toe-capped boot, which made her cry out in pain as she fell on to the concrete floor. Her head was pounding from hitting the hard surface. It was covered in plastic, which had made it even easier for her to slip on. She felt dazed. Her head was swimming, but adrenalin and panic drove her on. Pouncing upon her and straddling her, his leering face loomed only away inches from her own. Reaching up, she scratched his face with her long nails. They dug deep into his cheeks and drew blood. She was struggling and doing her best to fight

him off.

He grabbed her jaw with his large, rough builder’s hands and squeezed hard. As he shouted at her spit flew out of his mouth and hit her in the face. ‘Try that again, you bitch, and

I’ll punch you so hard in the face you won’t know what day of the week it is,’ he rasped.

‘Get off me, you’re hurting me. Get off me!’ she pleaded, and fought back, trying to get him to stop. It seemed to urge him on more. There was a wild look of excitement and expectation in his eyes as he ripped at her silk blouse. ‘Please don’t hurt me.’ A noise filled the air and echoed around the room. And then, suddenly, she realised it was the sound of her own voice screaming and shouting.

‘Why?’ he snarled. ‘You’re a tease. You have wanted this all along and men like me don’t like prick-teasers like you. You have asked for this, prancing around in your short skirts. Now shut up,’ he shouted through gritted teeth, while pinning her down on the cold, hard concrete floor. His heavy body ceased all movement from her as she tried to struggle free.

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.
