Rewind, recap: Weekly round up w/e 22/01/17

Meetings galore and a day trip to Dublin for a 30 minute meeting this week. The only bonus of said trip is all the reading time I had in the airport and on the plane allowed me to finish reading my book. Every cloud as they say... Not really managed a lot reading or review [...]

Today’s #Bookvent choice is from one of my favourite authors, one I can rely upon for a cracking crime story wrapped up in Fargo-esque dark humour. #LittleSiberia by @anttituomainen shows that you don’t (quite) need to be hit by a falling star for it to still be deadly. Emotional and thoughtful but able to move from ewww to teehee in no time flat, I loved it. . A man with dark thoughts on his mind is racing along the remote snowy roads of Hurmevaara in Finland, when there is flash in the sky and something crashes into the car. That something turns about to be a highly valuable meteorite. With euro signs lighting up the eyes of the locals, the unexpected treasure is temporarily placed in a neighbourhood museum, under the watchful eye of a priest named Joel. But Joel has a lot more on his mind than simply protecting the riches that have apparently rained down from heaven. His wife has just revealed that she is pregnant. Unfortunately Joel has strong reason to think the baby isn’t his. As Joel tries to fend off repeated and bungled attempts to steal the meteorite, he must also come to terms with his own situation, and discover who the father of the baby really is. Transporting the reader to the culture, landscape and mores of northern Finland Little Siberia is both a crime novel and a hilarious, blacker-than-black comedy about faith and disbelief, love and death, and what to do when bolts from the blue – both literal and figurative – turn your life upside down. . @orendabooks #bookvent2019 #booklove #lovebooks #books #finnishnoir #helsinkinoir #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookblogger #bookblog #bookblogging
Today I’m sharing my #booksontour review of @carolwyer’s #TheBlossomTwins. The latest book in the #NatalieWard series it’s the most emotional yet and a complete game changer. The ending left me shell shocked. Needless to say it’s bagged a red hot read badge too! . Their parents thought they were hiding… One beautiful summer’s evening, thirteen-year-old twins Ivy and Erin Westmore snuggle down in a tent in their back garden, giggling and sharing secrets. When their mother goes to wake the girls the next morning, their tent is empty. The alarm is raised and Detective Natalie Ward is put onto the case. When the twins’ bodies are discovered on nearby marshland, covered with deep pink petals, an icy shiver travels down Natalie’s spine. Everything about the girls’ deaths reminds her of a horrifying case she worked on earlier in her career, which saw a killer of the worst kind placed behind bars. The next day, that feeling is heightened when she receives a chilling note saying ‘I’m back’. Is this killer a copycat or did Natalie put the wrong person in prison all those years ago? In a small town, where no stranger goes unnoticed, what is Natalie missing? Consumed by the case, determined to prevent more deaths, Natalie misses the fact that it is her attention the killer wants. And to get it, he has his sights set firmly on her precious daughter Leigh… Gripping, fast-paced and nail-bitingly tense, this book will keep you flying through the pages long into the night. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott and Karin Slaughter. . @bookouture #booklove #lovebooks #books #bookshelf #amreading #bookblogger #bookblogging #bookblog #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #redhotread 🌶
Today’s #Bookvent selection ups the ante on the high action thrills. Book thirteen in the #CharlieFox series, @authorzoesharp’s #BadTurn sees Charlie striking out in her own a personal protection gig for one of the countries top arms dealers. Featuring action, fast paced drama, thrills and some cracking characters (love Schade) this series is fabulous. . One bad turn…deserves another. Charlie Fox has quit her job in close protection, been turned out of her apartment, and is apparently out of options. House-sitting in rural New Jersey has to be the pits—TV and TV dinners. A far cry from Iraq... Bulgaria... Afghanistan. Unlucky or not, she happens to be around at the right time to foil a violent kidnap attempt on Helena, wife of billionaire arms dealer, Eric Kincaid. Kincaid offers her a job looking after Helena. The rumours about Kincaid’s business empire say he’s gone over to the dark side, but Charlie is in no position to be fussy. And protecting people against those who want to do them harm is what she’s good at. But when the threats against the Kincaids escalate, and then follow the couple over to Europe, Charlie’s really going to have to up her game. It’s time to take the fight to the enemy. Charlie’s at her best putting an end to trouble. Now she must learn to strike first. And hope that the Kincaids don’t discover the secret she’s been keeping from them, right from the start. . #bookvent2019 #booklove #lovebooks #books #bookworm #thriller #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookblogger #bookblog #bookblogging
Over on jenmedsbookreviews.com today I have a #publicationday review of @samcarringtonauthor’s #IDareYou. Happy publication day Sam. . Mapledon, 1989 Two little girls were out playing a game of dares. Only one returned home. The ten-year-old told police what she saw: village loner Bill ‘Creepy’ Cawley dragged her friend into his truck and disappeared. No body was found, but her testimony sent Cawley to prison for murder. An open and shut case, the right man behind bars. The village could sleep safe once again. Now… Anna thought she had left Mapledon and her nightmares behind but a distraught phone call brings her back to face her past. 30 years ago, someone lied. 30 years ago, the man convicted wasn’t the only guilty party. Now he’s out of prison and looking for revenge. The question is, who will he start with? . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookblogger #bookblog #bookblogging #books #lovebooks #booklove #amreading #bookshelf #bookworm
Head to jenmedsbookreviews.com to see my #blogtour review of #DeathlyAffair by #LeighRussell, the latest Geraldine Steel thriller. . The new novel in the million-copy selling Detective Geraldine Steel series When a homeless man is found strangled to death, Detective Sergeant Geraldine Steel is caught off guard by the cold-blooded nature of the crime. A second murder suggests the existence of a killer whose motive is as elusive as he is dangerous. In an investigation plagued by police scepticism, only Geraldine is relentless in her pursuit of the truth. As she is forced down unexpected avenues into the lives of three people caught in a toxic triangle of love and deceit, she discovers there is more to this case than any of them could have imagined. . #booklove #books #lovebooks #amrrading #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookblogger #bookblog #bookblogging #bookshelf #bookworm
My second #Bookvent selection of the day is the authors first foray into the world of the psychological thriller. Full of family secrets, dark confessions and tense atmosphere, it is an award winning novel for@ a highly talented writer. @louisebeech13 is a beautiful writer but #CallMeStarGirl is the another step above. . Stirring up secrets can be deadly … especially if they’re yours… Pregnant Victoria Valbon was brutally murdered in an alley three weeks ago – and her killer hasn’t been caught. Tonight is Stella McKeever’s final radio show. The theme is secrets. You tell her yours, and she’ll share some of hers. Stella might tell you about Tom, a boyfriend who likes to play games, about the mother who abandoned her, now back after fourteen years. She might tell you about the perfume bottle with the star-shaped stopper, or about her father … What Stella really wants to know is more about the mysterious man calling the station … who says he knows who killed Victoria, and has proof. Tonight is the night for secrets, and Stella wants to know everything… With echoes of the Play Misty for Me, Call Me Star Girl is a taut, emotive and all-consuming psychological thriller that plays on our deepest fears, providing a stark reminder that stirring up dark secrets from the past can be deadly… . #bookvent2019 #booklove #lovebooks #books #bookblogger #bookblog #bookblogging #bookstagram #bookstagrammer @orendabooks
