Book Rating

A compelling, creepy and riveting read from start to finish.

When Libby hits her 25th birthday, she inherits a house in Chelsea with a very dark past. Gradually, you begin to learn of that past with the use of different time periods and different character viewpoints. I admit that at first this took a while to get my head around but it does fall into place and works extremely well.

The story is gripping and dark; the characters are well developed, interesting and authentically flawed; the writing is easy to read and set at a good pace and the mystery elements are perfectly formed.

I would most definitely recommend this to people who love a good psychological thriller and want to thank Random House UK, Cornerstone and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review.

It takes two with Adults

Contains spoilers, click to show

This movie is very much like the movie 'it takes two' except its 2 adults. Both movies involve identical strangers from very different backgrounds who decide to switch places for a few days. Only difference is they're not trying to bring their parents together but instead end up falling in love with each others bloke in their lives. Some parts did annoy me, for example when Edward kisses Stacey for the first time, how does he not realise she's not his girlfriend and why is a child able to work out the duchess is not Stacey but her best friend never clicks!? Other than that though it is a good feel good movie, there's not many of those around nowadays as they always end in tragedy but not this one. It's a proper Christmassy family movie.

Ice Hockey & Romance

Kindle recommended Whiskey’s work after I had devoured my way through Helena Hunting’s books on the same theme... Ice Hockey and Romance, and I was not disappointed.

Bailey and Gage have been friends since they were children, and after a previous accident, Bailey stepped in to support Gage by becoming a live-in nanny for his adorable daughter Scarlett.
Great in theory, but the undeniable attraction between Bailey and Gage could not go ignored. But will it be enough for a happy ending?

I really enjoyed reading the first in the Seattle Sharks series, getting to know the sharks and learning the heart warming story of the blossoming passion and love between Bailey and Gage.

The story was wonderfully well written, and the energy and emotions were palpable. I look forward to reading the others in the series.
