It is amongst one of my all time top reads!!
Just brilliant from start to finish!!
I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this book from the very first to the very last page. I loved everything about it; the characters (all of them ... which is unusual for me), the plot, the story, the tension, the pace, the writing style ... everything and I absolutely devoured it and can't wait for the next instalment in this series.
Read it ... you won't be disappointed.
Thank you to the Secret Readers Project for giving me the opportunity to read this book and for introducing me to a new author that I will definitely read more of.

I haven't read anything by Caroline Mitchell before but I was initially drawn by the cover and then intrigued by the blurb which sounded like something I would enjoy and, overall, I wasn't disappointed.
There are some great characters and a fabulous plot which combines urban legend, creepy house, serial killer, murder mystery, police procedural and the paranormal. The pace is pretty good and the twists and turns provided suspense from the start.
This is a good spooky read and certainly made a nice change to the usual crime thrillers and I have to give a thank you to Embla Books and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

Jake's a bit of a lad and a horrific motorbike accident doesn't seem to change much however, when women he meets and show an interest in him are murdered, he becomes the prime suspect. Facing a multiple murder charge, Jake needs all the help he can get if he's not going to be staring at the inside of a cell for the majority of his life.
With some great characters (not all of them particularly likeable), a growing sense of tension and some great twists and turns, the Butterfly Wheel develops into a really good and engaging thriller and my thanks go to the author and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this book.

I just got back from "A Quiet Place." Hands down, it is the best horror film I've seen in years. There really isn't much to compare it to, really. It's great. I honestly think I have a new movie to add to my list of near perfect films.
Because of the nature of the film, I'm only going to give any detail about the first 10 to 15 minutes, and only to give some background. The film follows a family after creatures arrive from somewhere (it doesn't really matter where but maybe space) with extremely sensitive hearing but no sense of sight. They have eaten almost every human being they've encountered. Any sound will attract them, and that will be that, most likely.
The family survives because their daughter is hearing impaired, and thus they can communicate with sign. However, complications ensue.
The cast is tiny. There are only six credited actors. The creature effects are passable, but the design is great. You won't be seeing much of them, anyway.
A teenager with her face in her phone was in front of me, and at the end of the film said to her friend, "That was it?" Yes, that was it. The final five seconds or so are perfect. If you didn't understand that because you've been texting instead of watching the film, you're loss, kiddo.
Anyway, "A Quiet Place" gets 10 out of 10. It's the best film of the year, by far. See it, hopefully with someone who will cling to you while watching.
