Three girls held a deep, dark secret. Three girls made a promise they vowed to keep forever. Now something and someone is threatening that promise. Will the truth come out or will these women do anything possible to keep their secret hidden forever?
I found this to be an excellent psychological suspense story. Some may describe this as a slow burn but I found the pace to be perfect for this story. The characters build and grow with the story as does the plot as told from past to present. The ending you won't see coming.
The are loads of little hints dropped through the story and some are just red herrings to keep you guessing. I found myself totally absorbed and unable to put the story down til done.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed this psychological story with all it's dark twists and turns!
Many thanks to Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and enjoy!

A heartbreaking elegy to Nigeria's lost promise
A beautiful and deeply tragic story exploring a family's secrets based in Nigeria. The novel follows four brothers in a small Nigerian village who are given a violent prophecy which shakes their family to the core.
Like most classic African novels in the Achebe-Ngugi tradition, The Fishermen mixes the traditional English novel form with the oral storytelling tradition, dramatising the conflict between the traditional and the modern. It is rather depressing but poignant.

2.5 stars.
It had promise but parts felt rushed and the lack of a good love interest put me off too. I thought she might end up with Ash, and I suppose that COULD happen in later books but with what happened in this one, I can't say I'm that bothered to find out.
I don't think I'll be continuing the series.

I absolutely loved this sequel. I was so hoping that it would be worth watching and it definitely was. Ryan Reynolds broke the mold playing Deadpool, he was so good that nobody else would have been right for it. If you havent seen it, do it!!! I promise you wont regret it!!

Shazam was a really fun movie. It had a lot to live up to with how poorly the DC universe has been doing. It really managed to deliver on the promise that they made. The film felt right and I didn't feel like it was forced on me. I felt like the film was a bit dark for my taste and what DC was trying to do, but I really liked it overall.

Loving This Book!
I devoured this book! The world of Loom is amazing and I especially love the bonus content at the back! It definitely helped with pronouncing the names and understanding the world. I love everything about this book, I can't wait for the sequel!
If you're looking for an intricate fantasy world, a plot that keeps you guessing and characters you can't help but love, this is for you! I promise you will not be disappointed!

Top notch animation
Another hit in the LEGO franchise
This is probably one of the best parody movies in recent memory. It is hilarious from start to finish and the voiceover cast is brilliant. I enjoyed the Lego movie more than I thought I would the first time I saw it and I enjoyed this even more. Do yourself a favour, no matter what age you are, give this a watch and I promise you will not regret it.
