What an explosive end to a great trilogy!

The Voice That Twists the Knife wraps up the trilogy nicely, and starts with Bella and Ariana swapping places: Bella goes back to Ralph and the team, and Ariana goes to London with her father. Ariana is mad with her mother for keeping secrets, and this is her punishment. Quite who she’s punishing is questionable!

There are human/ animal hybrids, mind readers, kinetic powers and more. Lychen is more powerful and controlling than ever, playing God along with his research team.

There’s only one way this can go, and it’s an exciting journey. I’ve really enjoyed this trilogy. Many thanks to The Pigeonhole and to JM Briscoe for reading along.

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!!
