My Reading Getaway

I’m on tour today with Rachel’s Random Resources with The Widow. I’ve read the authors books before so I knew I was in for a treat. Grieving or guilty? When Allison’s wealthy and charming husband Peter is found dead, she appears distraught, devastated….delighted? Because despite an apparently picture-perfect marriage, Allison knows it was all built on a bed of lies. And as the truth regarding Peter’s life and death are revealed, Alison must try to keep her own dark past buried. Because if Peter was keeping secrets, then his widow is too… Review: I love these type of thriller/suspense books. They keep you guessing and so many twists and turns you can get dizzy!! I stopped trying to guess the ending early on in the book and just enjoyed the read. Allison wants to marry for money and not for love. Sometimes this means she has to change herself to make her more appealing, which she doesn’t mind doing because it will be a short term change. She does not expect the marriage to last l...

Happy Saturday! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. It is a bit rainy here but that makes is a great day to stay inside and read! You may have seen a lot of this book recently because it is on tour with Rachel’s Random Resources. Today is my stop and I hope you find the book as interesting as I did! When you’re a kid, you imagine monsters to have horns and fangs. That they hide under the bed or in the wardrobe. And you believe they can only come after you when it’s dark. You don’t expect them to look like everyday people or that they may be someone you already know… The summer in question started out with hot, fun-filled days and new friendships. We had just turned thirteen and had our whole lives ahead of us. But that was before her… Before we became known as the Hixton Six and our lives become defined by one night. It’s hard to believe twenty years have passed since she was locked away. But now she’s free and strange things have started to happen. When I close m...

I have a very special tour for you today. Zoe is the organizer of Zooloos Book Tours and she has published her debut novel! I’m so thrilled to share it with you! Look at this cover!!! The only thing for certain is the deaths were no accident. Rayner High School once a prestigious school stands in ruins after such a terrible event. A year later, a group of friends return to the abandoned school and their nightmare begins. Something wants to get out and won’t take NO for an answer… Review: Ouija is the perfect Halloween read, or anytime of the year really. I actually read part of the book while handing out candy to trick or treaters! A group of friends want to raise spirits with an Ouija board and they get more than they bargained for.  Other reviewers have compared this book to Goosebumps and Fear Street series and I couldn’t agree more. It is a quick read both because of the length and that you won’t want to put it down. It has enough fear to be a scary book but not too...

The App is my second tour this week with Zooloos Book Tours and its one you won't want to miss. Once you're in, they'll never let you leave. Whatever happens, don't download The App. *  It will come in the form of a link. Maybe in your DM's on a social media account, the junk folder of your emails or a WhatsApp message from a friend. * You'll be enticed by the chance of winning one hundred thousand pounds on offer every Friday, wired straight into the winner's bank account. * It's not a joke. * This part is genuine. * Someone can and will win the money. * But at what cost? Marty Benson gets the link sent to him by a friend. So what is the harm in looking? He clicks it, downloads the app and enters a few basic details. A message prompts him to wait while he's loaded onto the system. An hour later, another message. • Do not delete the app. • Do not tell anyone outside of your family about the app. • Send the link to one person...

I know Halloween was yesterday but its always the right time for a scary book. Today I have The Blind House on tour with Zooloos Book Tours. Fame is about to get deadly in this terrifying, fresh take on a haunted house thriller. Set in an idyllic Cotswolds village, rookie paranormal investigator, Megan Forrest, is roped into investigating the strange goings-on at the home of Hollywood actor, Ross Huston. Ross and his wife Deborah are convinced that their Victorian mansion is being haunted by the mentally ill patients who resided there in the late nineteenth century. Patients who were brutally treated and murdered at the hands of a cruel doctor. As Megan investigates ghosts from the past, two women from the present go missing- women who were last seen at the Huston’s property. Who was the doctor and how is everything connected? When Megan finds herself swept up in a dangerous game, she can’t escape. Who was the Doctor? One thing she knows for sure, is that there is something...

I’m so happy to be part of Love Book Tours spotlight for the sixth book in the DS Throughgood series. Feel free to check out the other stops on the tour to gain other reader’s insights into the book. For today, I have an excerpt to give you a preview into this wonderful book! Blurb After escaping the clutches of a Glasgow drug lord nicknamed ‘The Widowmaker’, the newly promoted Detective Constable Thoroughgood heads for Manchester. The northern powerhouse is home to two rival gangs: ‘The Maine Men’ and ‘The Devils.  When a drug deal goes wrong and Thoroughgood fails to stop it, a full-scale turf war is ready to take over Manchester — a city split into red and blue halves. Seconded into an undercover Greater Manchester Police unit under the command of the legendary DCI Marty Ferguson, Thoroughgood soon finds that the drugs war is not the only battle being fought in the city.  ‘The Hammer’ takes Thoroughgood out of the character’s typical Scottish stomping grounds, with 19...
