The Fear by C.L Taylor
Blurb from Amazon
I have always enjoyed C.L Taylor’s books and she never seems to disappoint me. This one keeps you grabbed from the very first page all the way to the last page. You sit there thinking ooh shes going to get her comeuppance for what he did to her and how he shouldn’t had led her on he should’ve known better really. I like how she writes her stories and how its not got massive words in that you don’t have to stop and look the meaning of the word up as you cant remember what it means.
When Lou was a teenager she feel for a bloke who has the worst kind of ideas in his head and so when they decide to run away to France does Lou realise how bad he is and tries every way to get help but mike is always on step a head of her after seem like a long time things started to go the way she wanted and with her having now got away from him and is getting on with her own she forgets about until she sees him doing the same to a lass as he did to her at 13 years old. She cant believe she has come up with this plan but speaking to Chloe the young lass doesn’t believe Lou as Chloe is so much in love with mike she believes everything mike says. So when this plan come into her head she was worried that she wouldn’t go through with it and would she get away with it.
The ending shocked me and I’m hoping we are going to get some more about it in a different story of hers I’m not going to say to much as then I would give to much away for you guys but this is one book I would recommend to you guys its hard going but worth it in the end.
The Rave By Nicky Black
DCI Peach finds it all a nuisance, a waste of his force’s time, until he finds his teenage daughter unconscious at one of Tommy’s raves. Then the chase becomes personal, and his need to make Tommy pay becomes an obsession.
Set in Newcastle upon Tyne, The Rave is a fast-paced, gritty portrayal of life on the edges of society at the end of a decade that changed Britain forever.
This book can be read as a stand-alone from The Prodigal.
The dead ex by Jane Corry
And how can Vicki prove her innocence, when she’s not even sure of it herself?
Cruel to be kind by Cathy Glass.
The one author who always grabs me and keeps me hooked always through and is one who knows how to write a good book. Cathy and her family have taken in foster children and help them through whatever situations they have been through.
When Cathy is asked to look after Max as his mother is in hospital and his sisters left him home alone she didn’t expect to see a boy who is only 6 so overweight she cant help wondering how his family let him get the size he is. But when the boys mother rings Cathy up tells her to give max whatever he wants and not to hurt her boy and was really abrupt with her she got a glimpse off whats to come while she has max.
When Cathy met Caz at the hospital she didn’t get the warm welcome she had hoped she would get from Caz and her daughters and could understand why max was so overweight that she wouldn’t be able to help max unless Caz agreed with it.
Once Caz is home things change for Cathy and Caz they seem to build bridges and as soon as max is home they keep in touch with them and then when Cathy finds out that Caz has passed away she wonders what has happened to max. But after a while Cathy and her family have got on with her live until Cathy receives a letter off max which takes her by surprise even more when he comes to visit her and tells her what hes been up to since he left her.
Another 5 star read from me I would recommend Cathy books to everyone they wouldn’t be disappointed
Widows by Linda La Plante
The groundbreaking thriller from the Queen of Crime Drama and the basis for Steve McQueen’s upcoming major motion picture. WIDOWS is a fast-paced heist thriller with an all female cast you won’t forget
Facing life alone, they turned to crime together
A security van heist goes disastrously wrong and three women are left widowed.
When Dolly Rawlins discovers her gang boss husband’s plans for the failed hijack, an idea starts to form . . .
Could she and the other wives finish the job their husbands started?
As the women rehearse the raid, it becomes clear that someone else must have been involved.
But only three bodies were found in the wreckage.
Who was the fourth man?
And where is he now?
So this was my first book by this author and I’m happy to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. But one disappointment was that I guessed halfway through some of it but it didn’t spoil the story I was hoping that it would end differently but not the way it did.
I love Lynda’s style of writing and how she grabs you from the very first page of the book and wants you leaving more and more. She has made it difficult in me choosing another book to read so I have had to go back to an author I know I love and would grab me from first the first page.
I bought this book as I had seen it on my local supermarket on the shelf and it was the cover what caught my eye but I left off buying it for a couple of weeks as we all now that saying I don’t need anymore books as my tbr piles are overflowing but to cheer myself up after being told I needed to have a crown fitted I got my partner to take me back to the supermarket to buy this book and I’m so glad I did. This is one book I cant wait to see the film for it as I would like to see it for real life.
When three widows decide to take on the very last jobs that there husbands was doing before it all went wrong. Dolly was sure they could do it but Shirley and Linda was worried dolly had other plans for the money if they did pull it off and wondered if this was a set up for them and dolly would run off with the money. With the plans not going the way she wanted dolly realised there must’ve been a fourth man and now they had a job in finding who and how they would find someone to take the fourth position that’s when Linda found Bella and brought her along. So with four people would they pull this raid off and run away with the millions from hoist or would they get caught for doing one of Harry’s hoist.
ANOTHER 5 STAR READ FROM ME DEFIANTLY WOULD RECOMMEND THIS.
The Betrayer By Kimberley Chambers
All is not forgotten by wendy walker
I was given this book by a friend from slimming world and she said its a good book but took her ages to read this one as she felt she had missed some of the story as it normally takes her a week to finish a book and this one took her a month to read it but is one to persevere as the ending is something you need to read.
Could you read a book that is so graphic and heart breaking that you want to scream at the parents ‘why did you do that for’. Then this is the book for you. Would you do what Jenny’s parent’s did for her after her ordeal or would you get her the help she actually needs. Everyone deals with each situation differently we now this but would you do the same.

Would it help all her family to come to terms with it themselves?
Would Jenny ever be able to life a normal life afterwards?
But if she new the truth behind the monster maybe she would see that she wasn’t suppose to be there or was she?

Entrapment, betrayal, and espionage lurk beneath the pages, with an ending you won’t see coming.
Jess Turner is working on the China desk in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. It’s her job to ensure the State visit of the Chinese Premier runs smoothly. But tensions are running high. As work progresses, Jess uncovers shocking, secret events that happened in Shanghai in 1984. A British Ambassador died, and another diplomat, Marianne Henderson, went missing in the city and has never been seen again. Not only that, all evidence Marianne ever existed vanished with her. When Jess starts asking questions, she is warned off. But she is caught up in a chain of events she has no power to control. As she digs in the past to find out what happened to Marianne, Jess finds herself in grave danger.
I was asked directly by Jean if I would like to review her third book seeing as I did a brilliant job reviewing her second book deadly deceit which I have enjoyed by jean.
My thoughts on this book is it does grab you from the very first page and makes you want to carry on until there is no more pages to read.
How does jean come up with these brilliant stories I don’t know but her writing style is one I cant get enough off. For me this is going to be one of them books what would go on the list of best reads in 2018 (if I did that of course).
So lets get to the story and ill try and not give anything away so jess turner is working in china on the foreign and commonwealth desk and it is her job to see the state visit runs smoothly.
But with the tension running high with the work progresses jess is floored when someone mentioned the previous employer who use to do jess’s job and with nothing on the database of her disappearance jess is determined to find out what has happened to Marianne. Jess is shocked on how its all was hushed up and no trace is found in the foreign office regarding Marianne only that she was the presidents assistant and was the only one around when he was found dead.
I did think I knew who it was halfway through the book and to my delight I was but wasn’t expecting that and who had helped as well this is one book where you don’t have to read the first two books as this one just grabs you from the page all the way to the last and leaving you wanting more all the time.
