Powerful, gripping and insightful.

Murder Worth the Weight is brilliant. There are many twists and turns to keep you guessing who the murderer is, which I love.
    It also calls to me, I'm a large woman and this strikes a cord. The thoughts, feelings, situations etc are like they've been plucked from my mind and that's what really sets the scene. You feel included.

Camarin is relatable, she's like so many people who have been pressured into trying to attain perfection, having ridiculous standards pushed at them and being held accountable for someone else. It's quite heartbreaking.

Acceptance and self-love are big themes, along side the murders, of course. Well worth a few cuppas and some chocolate biscuits sat in your comfy seat.

The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley is a tense read that literally radiates heat off the page! It’s set during a very hot summer, and feelings are running high.

A Manor House has been converted into a luxurious hotel, complete with private “hutches” for guests to stay in. The local people are not at all happy.

This is a story of local villagers versus wealthy landowners, local myths and superstitions and destructive secrets. There’s a nod to Daphne Du Maurier’s The Birds - I like birds, and even I was deeply unsettled by the ones in this story!

I listened to this on Xigxag audiobooks, and the story sped by. It was tense, unsettling and pretty sinister on more than a couple of occasions!

Suffocatingly suspenseful!!

The second instalment in Angel's adventures starts off with her still onboard the Gran ship, being the Captain's concubine and Jason's lover. She is very good at compartmentalising her life and will do what she can to survive. An opportunity arises that could equal both her and Jason's escape, but things go wrong and she ends up alone, trying to understand her feelings and wondering what to do next.

This is once again very well-written, full of action, intense, and with some amazing steamy scenes. It does end on a cliffhanger and you will be left definitely wanting more. Recommended!

* I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review. *
