Another gripping read to add to the Will Trent/ Dr. Sara Linton series.
Sara is determined to get justice for a patient who dies in A&E on her shift. With her dying breath, Dani Cooper tells Sara she has been raped. Three years later, Sara is testifying as an expert witness at the trial of Tommy McAllister - the man accused of raping Dani, and the child of a couple who Sara knew from her residency days.

Will and his partner Faith, end up re-investigating Sara’s case, along with a number of others, finding links between them. All of this is done without their boss’s knowledge - which is very brave of them. She’s formidable!

There are graphic descriptions of rape, domestic violence and it’s aftermath, and can be quite stomach churning at times - but it’s such a fast-moving read with such excellent characters, that I didn’t want to put it down. It’s a really emotional read, too.

If you’re a fan of this series, you will not be disappointed!

I loved this dark tale. It’s a tough read at times, and comes with a host of trigger warnings (rape, eating disorders, violence). Its really creepy though, a great companion for a dark evening!

Nicky is on a ship in 1901 with a crew of men who all expect her “services”, even though she isn’t prepared to give them what they want of her own free will.

In the modern day, Dominique, an explorer and instagrammer, decides to travel to Iceland and document the destruction of the beached ship, the Ormen.

The atmosphere was perfect for a ghost story, full of menace and threat, and just when I thought I knew what was going on, something would happen that would make me have to reassess completely! The present day storyline was perfect for this.

This is a story where your heart will be in your mouth from start to finish, and it fed my fascination for the frozen places of the world perfectly (and I have to admit that my fascination is based on what I consider to be a healthy fear!).

Psychic Teenage Bloodbath
By Carl John Lee
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Susan Ward is in a coma. She’s been there for one year, ever since the accident.

She can’t speak. She can’t move. She can’t even close her eyes.

Unable to sleep, Susan has gone quite mad. But, deep within the recesses of her mind, she’s discovered a new and frightening set of skills.

And now, one year later, Susan will use these skills for one single-minded, blood-soaked purpose — REVENGE.

From the sadistic mind of Carl John Lee, author of Horror House of Perversion, comes a nightmarish tale of vengeance and brutal, stomach-churning violence.

PSYCHIC TEENAGE BLOODBATH.

Don’t let her inside your mind.

This is only the second extreme horror/splatter punk I’ve read and I liked this. Proper horror scenes blood , guts and more blood. Brutal till the last minute. I guess bullying really isn’t a good idea you never know what’s coming to get you back. A quick I want to say fun read but maybe fun isn’t the right word 🤣
