The Patient In The Tower - G.R. Pigeon Format: Digital Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 This was creepy and dark! That feeling of unrest did not leave me through out this book.  Dr Abbott certainly added to this creepiness. Weird experiments and strange medicines make this a very interesting read. Robert is such a loveable character and I hated the fact that he had to struggle that much to see his brother but then I loved the help he received some from unexpected people as well. There are plenty of interesting characters in this story from Edith to Mason you will definitely not be bored reading this.

Split Second - R.C. Bridgestock Format: Hardcover Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What!! This was incredible! The combined genius that is @rcbridgestockauthor that gives us this book, really understand police procedure and it come through in this magnificent book! That was like a lesson in police 101 and it was fascinating! The story is gripping and the fear I had for Abi's life was real and tremendous! I think firearm police have a terrible job as there will always be someone that claims you could have done better or why did you have to shoot and this book gave us a decent insight into an officer who did and what she has lived through. Or was it on purpose.... well i have a million things running around in my mind at the moment! This was excellent with such detail your mind will be reeling like mine when done!

Her Web Of Lies - Zee David Format: Audiobook Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love these!! It's like a mini series with a new episode every week! This being the third book in the series, we know Bree well by now and when she is faced with a new mystery she plunges down the rabbit hole! Almost every character in this comes across as a bit morally grey with their own agenda on the go which makes this even more nerve wrecking! This was intriguing and had me guessing at every new information drop. The narration by Sophie Bloor was fantastic and her voice added that emphasises on how young Bree is. This has been great and I do advise you to start at the beginning of Book one - it does help that I know Bree a bit better. Thank you @netgalley and @victoryeditingngc for this advanced copy.

The Best Of Enemies - Julie Mae Cohen Format: Audiobook Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have to say that I'm convinced that @juliecohenauthor is the queen of unhinged! Her books have the balance of this is genius and this is so wicked!! I absolutely love her characters and their stories and she has done it again! Gwen seems super normal until her wishlist starts coming true, I mean come on we all have had those lists , but what if it actually happened?? This was hilarious and yet thrilling to the point where I was on the edge of my seat. What a rollercoaster!! This book made my day! You have to read this, it was such a great escape for me.

The Other Daughter - Heidi Field Format: Digital Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Oh my goodness, what the heck!!! This was insane! @heidi.field.75 had me from the first chapter! I was so invested, this story, these children and that father. I felt such intense sorrow for little Hunter and his brother, I had no idea what I was in for. This is the first book in the series and now I am fired up to go read the rest! I want to know everything! This was intense and fast paced, laced throughout with the sick depravity of a man who clearly lost himself a long time ago. What the result is was a novel that had me engaged, shuffling through the pages as fast as my eyes can read them. What an incredible rush! Just amazing! I cannot wait to see what else this amazing author has out there. Guys you will not be sorry... go read this book .... even better read the series!!!

📬📬 BOOK MAIL!! 📬📬 Join us on this Read Along as we work our way through this extraordinary true story I'm Fine by Richard Hall Starting on 1 July 2026, don't miss this! Blurb: In 2024 a gay youth leader was jailed for 22 years. One of his victims tells why it took him two decades to call the police. In 1996, at the age of fourteen, Richard Hall met a man who changed his life. Two and a half decades later, he called the police. As a result, the man was jailed for twenty-two years. This is the story of what came before the police: how a teenage boy who had been hounded at school because he was gay walked into a world where he thought he would be safe, but which he was too inexperienced to navigate. In his naïvety, he believed what happened next was normal, or somehow his fault. Written with honesty, courage, and surprising moments of humour, I'm Fine is both a deeply moving memoir and a powerful warning about predators operating behind the protection of community status.

Yes many times! Life throws some real awful things at a person every now and again. Sometimes you don't have a choice but to face it and be brave!

The Names - Florence Knapp Format: Paperback Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a chilling tale! What is in a name? Well I can tell you quite a bit especially in this book! We are witnesses to three "names" three very very different outcomes, three incredible stories. @florenceknapp_ takes domestic abuse to another level in this book, an indepth look into how a family was shaped by the actions of everyone. For each timeline or name given to the new born boy you get a look into how that boy's life was drastically changed by the actions of his father and mother. This was haunting tale that left me speechless and I've not stopped thinking about it. Definitely a must read to everyone, check trigger warnings before you do. This will stay with you for some time to come.

Tam's Tale - Michael Findlay Format: Hardcover Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Well what a peculiar story this was! The mix of folk lore and magic had me interested from the first page. I believe that fate is real and this story relates to that in so many ways. @michaelalistairfindlay Skillfully draws you into the story and you can't help but get lost in the pages. The amazing art in the book by @lonericcraven was simply breathtaking, each piece fitting so well with the story as you progress. The journey Tam had to go through to reach his destination was incredible. From the minute he found that eye his life was changed drastically. I loved how he had a support network of friends and helpers who didnt know him from a bar of soap and yet protected him fiercely. I love Mrs Percival she was such a clever character, her fast thinking and nonchalant attitude saved the day on a few occasions and I think Kristine learnt a lot from her. The chaos in Colonia was diabolical, I loved every second of that! The ingenious ways they plans was set in motion and the trickery involved left me speechless. This was a great story and would highly recommend to fantasy fans.

Funny Story - Emily Henry Format: Audiobook Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I mean this was just the best thing I've read in a while!! Absolute joy! I have no idea where Waning Bay is but I'm moving there tomorrow because Miles, oh yes Miles, he is just a dream isn't he? I loved the banter between him and Daphne and this whole tale felt like a fairytale! What possibly more can a girl want. This was choas and sobering reality at the same time, the most fun I've had in a while, while reading a book. The story was unique and endearing and kept me entertained all the way through! Great read, highly recommend!

Mrs Percival and Kristine of course! It would be so exciting to see how they made Colonia better wouldn't it?

Capital Crime 2026 Two days later I am still buzzing!! This was definitely one of the highlights of the year! I loved every second! Made new friends, met fantastic authors, found new books and authors and made a million memories that will never fade! I can't believe how unbelievably lucky I am to have been able to do this, a dream come true!

The River Muse - Laura Resau Format: Digital Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was incredible! The writing combined with the setting made for an enchanted read. @lauraresau has the incredible ability to make a story come alive! Her descriptive writing painted a very vivid picture in my mind and it was like I was there in the French Countryside along with Callie. This had a magical feel to it and it definitely helped with breaking the tension because there were some very hard topics discussed in the book. What I appreciate was the fact that the story highlights the fact that you don't have to accept your circumstances and there is always a way out. My emotions were all over the place while reading this, a sign of a great book in my opinion! Fantastic read - you will find hope and found family and even romance in this book, a great read that I would highly recommend.

Day 3 Capital Crime!! Oh my days what an amazing last day!! My little book heart is full to the brim ( and I need another bookshelf!!) Thank you to each author for taking the time and spending it with crazy fans like us!! @darrensully @martynwaites4847 @lucavestewriter @heatherjfitt @juliecohenauthor @mazevansauthor @lucyfoleyauthor @jeffrey_archer_author @jackreacherbooks @capitalcrime1 and @goldsborobooks @goldsboro_crimecollective thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! And most important of them all my twinie, the other half of the double 00 blonde duo @emmasheehanwriter . This was the best 3 days ever!! Love ya!!!

I mean I am stressing on behalf ot them right now! There are so many tiny things that can go qeong and at the same time it seems they have the luck of the God's on their side so maybe this will all work out regardless.

Day 2 Capital Crime!! What an amazing day! So many incredible authors and books!! I am literally in heaven right now!!! @tmloganauthor @jocallaghankat @lucyrosecreates @essie_fox_author @neil_lancaster_crime @clarelesliehall @martynwaites4847 @m_j_arlidge @lisajewelluk @sabinedurrant

At work I have to open the mail that is addressed to the business and the directors - but it is all work related. A private letter like the one Veronica had received is a different story, I would never and I think what Lizzie did was disgusting.

Day 1 of Capital Crime Festival and it was AMAZING!! The discussions were great and met @ellygriffiths17 and @clairedouglasauthor, both such great authors, loved having a chat. Had the best time with @emmasheehanwriter - such an amazing friend!!! I am so excited for tomorrow!!!

All The Light We Cannot See - Anthony Doerr Format: Audiobook Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 This was an interesting read. The writing was beautiful and Anthony captures the surroundings so vividly, if you close your eyes you can create a magnificent picture and almost hear those sounds. So here is the thing the back and forth between timeliness got a bit confusing for me and I honestly still don't get really what the book was about. Although it was moving and tugged at the heart strings it was missing something that should grab my attention. As far as historical fiction goes - it was good but not great for me.

I could probably colour my hair black and cut it short - that will be a big change as it is blond and long.
