Hazel (2934 KP) rated El Chapo [Audiobook] in Books
May 7, 2023
![El Chapo [Audiobook]](/uploads/profile_image/ec9/ac2133a5-a794-4231-a49f-37f3f8b15ec9.jpg?m=1683466389)
An interesting look at the life of El Chapo and the Mexican drug cartels including the politics and widespread corruption surrounding the drug trade.
I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrator did a great job to put some 'life' into what could have been a bland story that could easily come across as a text book. The author has clearly done his research and there is a lot of information to digest.
Overall, a very interesting overview of the seedy and dangerous world of the drug trade and my thanks go to Arcturus Digital Audio and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to and share my thoughts of El Chapo.

Hazel (2934 KP) rated The Guest House in Books
Jun 26, 2022
This is a compelling and disturbing read and whilst it may be a tad unbelievable and OTT in places, it is enjoyable and rather riveting and has a premise like no other I have read before.
The characters are well developed and whilst you may not like some of them very much, this works well with the story. It is written in the past and present which helps to build the tension and intrigue until the killer twist is revealed.
Recommended to those who enjoy something a little different with plenty of suspense and thanks go to Orion Publishing Group and NetGalley for enabling me to read The Guest House and to share my thoughts.

Thought-provoking and always-changing questions (3 more)
Customizable to your priorities and things you want to improve upon
Niche communities to join
Safe and free of creeps and unwanted interactions
A safe space for deep thoughts
Longwalks has been my favorite non-traditional social media apps I've found (though I'd hardly call it social.media - the focus isn't on your profile/profile picture etc.). Check in every day to keep a streak going, answer sometimes silly/sometimes serious prompts about your life (choose to keep your answers private, post anonymously, or publicly), and get bonus insightful questions when you join groups relevant to you. I've yet to have an uncomfortable or negative interaction and the vulnerability of everyone's answers is beautiful.
Hazel (2934 KP) rated The Institution in Books
Mar 5, 2023
Yet another gripping read by Helen Fields and one I very much enjoyed
It has everything - a gruesome murder, an isolated creepy location, serial killers, twists, turns, action and fantastic characters all wrapped up in an excellent story that was hard to stop reading even the parts that were quite gruesome.
Dr Connie and her partner, Baarda, are a great team and I would really like to read more about their work together - if there are more stories in the pipeline ... sign me up!
A very tense and riveting read that I highly recommend and thank you Avon Books UK and NetGalley for enabling be to read and share my thoughts of The Institution.

Hazel (2934 KP) rated Murder in the Family in Books
Jul 23, 2023
I really enjoy Cara Hunter's Adam Fawley series so was eager to read this, a standalone thriller but, unfortunately, whilst I enjoyed the story, I liked the characters (although not many were likeable!) and I really enjoyed the mystery of who did the deed, I wasn't overly keen on the writing format which I found quickly became tedious due to the scene setting rather than focusing on the actual story.
Despite my misgivings on the style, I did like the twists and turns and, like I said, overall I enjoyed it and I thank HarperCollins UK, Harperfiction and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Murder in the Family.

Charlotte (184 KP) rated Hanging with Daddy (Pride Pet Play 2023) in Books
Jun 26, 2023
Another brilliant story in the series
J. P. Sayle never lets me down when it comes to a quality story that pulls a reader into a world they wouldn't usually think about. Hanging with Daddy does just that, it's just outside the mainstream, standard kink but man does the koala thing pop it a few steps further on!
Austin and Gaines are adorable and sweet and totally right for each other but it wouldn't be worth reading without lots of thoughts and decisions.
A great afternoon read with a drink and snacks (my favourite way to read) or if you're traveling crack it open and lose yourself in the pages of a delicious story.

A servant girl flees colonial Jamestown, leaving behind starvation, hardship and something even worse. She has to survive in the wilderness with only her wits and a few possessions.
This book was breathtaking - the whole story is told through the thoughts of a servant girl (in the 3rd person). Yet it doesn’t, at any point, become boring. There’s so much going on: her escape, her methods of survival, the people and animals she nearly meets along the way, the landscape and its contrast to the squalor of “civilised” life left behind in Jamestown. You can feel her desperation to get away, he wonder at what she sees and her drive to survive.
Honestly, I can’t recommend it enough.
