BLOG TOUR BOTH OF YOU BY ADELE PARKS

Leigh Fletcher: happily married stepmum to two gorgeous boys goes missing on Monday. Her husband Mark says he knows nothing of her whereabouts. She simply went to work and just never came home. Their family is shattered.

Kai Janssen: married to wealthy Dutch businessman, Daan, vanishes the same week. Kai left their luxurious penthouse and glamorous world without a backward glance. She seemingly evaporated into thin air. Daan is distraught.

DC Clements knows that people disappear all the time – far too frequently. Most run away from things, some run towards, others are taken but find their way back. A sad few never return. These two women are from very different worlds, their disappearances are unlikely to be connected. And yet, at a gut level, the DC believes they might be.

How could these women walk away from their families, husbands and homes willingly? Clements is determined to unearth the truth, no matter how shocking and devastating it may be

BLOG TOUR THE HEIGHTS BY LOUISE CANDLISH

He thinks he’s safe up there. 
But he’ll never be safe from you. 

The Heights is a tall, slender apartment building among the warehouses of Tower Bridge, its roof terrace so discreet you wouldn’t know it existed if you weren’t standing at the window of the flat directly opposite. But you are. And that’s when you see a man up there – a man you’d recognize anywhere. He’s older now and his appearance has subtly changed, but it’s definitely him. 

Which makes no sense at all since you know he has been dead for over two years.  

You know this for a fact.  

Because you’re the one who killed him.  

Firstly a big thank you to Simon and Schuster for my copy to review on netgalley and having Me on the tour.

I’m a huge fan of Louise’s I’ve had the upmost pleasure to meet her and been thrilled to be quoted on her cover.

She has released the last couple of years, amazing bestselling thrillers .

I’m tempted to say this is one of my favourite of her Simon and schuster publications.

It was a Saturday treat to read cover to cover in one go.

This is amazing and I predict huge success with this.

Fast paced and will have you turning the pages desperate to get answers.

I felt conflicted emotions both as a mum who wants to protect my child but also as a psychology enthusistt and care home kid. I understand the vicious cycle of troubled childhood ,crime and adulthood.

Twisty,haunting and thought provoking. Captivating and compelling this will reel you in and leave you bereft once finished . I absolutely loved it and highly recommend!

BOOK REVIEW THE STEPMOTHER BY ROS CARNE

One guilty secret will tear her life apart…

After a series of heart-breaking miscarriages, Kate’s marriage is hanging by a thread. When her husband Michael tells her he has shocking news, at first, she thinks the worst – he’s been having an affair. It would explain why he’s been so distant. Instead, he reveals that the daughter he abandoned twenty years ago is coming to stay.

Kate is blindsided by the sudden arrival of Imogen mere hours later. Her new stepdaughter is beautiful but troubled and seems wary of her own father. All the same, Kate is pleased to find herself connecting with Imogen, until one day, Imogen reveals a disturbing secret to her stepmother, making her swear never to tell a soul.

With Kate already keeping secrets of her own, she worries her marriage will crumble under the weight of another. But perhaps it’s not Imogen’s intrusion Kate should be worried about. Perhaps it’s Michael’s past she should have been looking at all along…

A completely addictive domestic suspense novel that will keep you guessing into the early hours of the morning. Perfect for fans of The Stepdaughter, Amanda Robson and Adele Parks.

BOOK REVIEW THE PLAYDATE BY VICTORIA JENKINS

Arranging the playdate was easy. Child’s play. Preparing the house was more difficult. It was only now she realised how many photographs there were: the picture-perfect unit. Wife, husband, child. All of it a lie.

I made a new friend at playgroup today. She’s different from the other mothers. She feels like someone I can trust. Someone I can confide in.

But there are some things I can’t tell her. Things I can’t tell anyone.

Because I have a secret that no one else knows. One that still haunts my dreams, wakes me up in a cold sweat at night.

Even another mother would never understand. Unless, of course, she’s hiding something too…

Firstly a big thank you to the publishers for my copy to review on netgalley,  this is a new author to me . I’ll be reading more of her books!

Captivating and chilling. Not all is as it seems and people aren’t who they say they are.

Friendships,lies ,children and secrets.
