Today's review is for The Quaker by Liam McIlvanney over on my blog today. From the outset I found myself very quickly caught up in this story. It is grim, gritty and dark. I didn’t think it was overly fast in its pacing and this played very well into the slower paced and painstaking investigation of the time. Instead, it steadily built up a tense air around itself. One I would recommend 📖 ❤️ #crime #thriller #mystery #suspense #bookreview #bookshelf #booklover #bookworm #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookblogger #bookrecommendations #bookreviewer
Today I have my review for Road To Hiroshima by Bob Van Laerhoven as part of the #blogtour with @rachelsrandomresources There is a #Giveaway to win a copy of the book on my blog (address in bio) This is a book I would recommend to readers who like crime, thriller, and mystery that is dark and definitely on the noirish side. I did need to concentrate on this one at the beginning, but when I got the characters set in my head I found quite an intense and dark read. One I would recommend 📖 ❤️ #bookstagrammer #crime #mystery #thriller #noir #fiction #win #bookreview #bookshelf #booklover #bookblogger #bookreviewer
Today on my blog I have my review for There's Something About A Cowboy by Rich Amooi This is for the #blogtour with@rachelsrandomresources This is a book that would appeal to contemporary romance and rom-com readers. It has a great storyline and cast and there are some surprises along the way. This is the first time I have read anything by this author and I will definitely be buying more. Ideal if you are looking for an escape into a pleasant, charming, at times humorous story. One I would recommend 📖 ❤️ #bookstagram #bookreview #bookshelf #booklover #bookworm #romance #fiction #bookblogger #bookreviewer
Today I have my review for The Road to Alexander by Jennifer Macaire as part of the #blogtour with @rachelsrandomresources This is the story of Ashley and how she travels back in time to meet one of her heroes, Alexander the Great, to interview him. Alexander unwittingly prevents Ashley from returning back to her time and she is left stranded in history and decides to embrace the predicament in which she finds herself. Now I did wonder how I would get on this story, time travel and ancient history. I really should not wonder when it comes to reading as this author did an absolutely cracking job with the story and completely won me over. One I would definitely recommend 📖 ❤️ #histfic #romance #recommendedreading #bookstagram #bookreview #bookshelf #booklover #bookblogger #bookreviewer

Today I have my review for Kiss Me, Kill Me by J. S. Carol on my blog. I received this last year via #netgalley from @bonnierzaffre This is a story that really did work well for me, it had the right amount of suspense and drama that had a real sense of controlling power to it. I found myself quickly siding with and willing Zoe on in her life. The manipulation was done in such a way that it blindsided Zoe and it shows how she was oblivious to the signs. The story took some unexpected twists and turns and definitely kept me hooked. If you like crime, thriller, and suspense reads that focus on spousal manipulation then this is one you should read 📖 ❤️ #recommendedreading #crime #mystery #thriller #suspense #bookstagram #bookreview #bookshelf #booklover #bookblogger
