Eileen is repugnant and she hooked me from page one.

This is actually 7 books, I love Lucinda Riley’s style of writing which tells a historical based story, alongside a current time line. Love the journeys she takes you on with interesting characters that meet real life characters from history.

Did not see the ending coming!

One of my favourite books!

I love how dark and ominous this book is! It was a tad slow to start off with but as soon as it kicks in you don’t want to put the book down. Love the Irish folklore elements too

While this book definitely isn’t for the faint hearted and is at time super gross, I absolutely loved it! The children and parents all have their own developed personalities which makes it really easy to differentiate between them all (and it makes it easy for you to decide which characters you like and which you don’t). It’s definitely a shocking book at times but I appreciate it!

The characters are all likeable which makes you that little bit more invested in them and the plot. It’s got moments or eeriness and dread and also has plenty of bold horror elements too!

I loved The Shining but for me Doctor Sleep beats it by far! While it’s not exactly scary, there are some nasty scenes that really show you how evil some of the characters are. I also really love that we get to see how Danny grew up and how he moved on after the Overlook hotel.

Funny, lots of plot twists and not as stereotypical as I was expecting. Light-hearted!

Loved the overall story line and the plot twist. The two story lines throughout from the different characters where delivered really well.

Wonderfully paced and highly imaginative with iconic scene unfolding one after the other. The imagery of Martian tripods blasting through Victorian era London is alone a feast for the mind.

The most fun I've ever had following the life of an absolutely terrible person. A protagonist that is as equally cruel as she is beautiful with an internal world saturated with media consumption, personal ambition and spitefulness.

A novel that reveals the heroics and great tragedies of a quiet, everyday life; a reminder that every passerby is silently moving through their own timelines with triumphs and terrors.

A gang of mischievous, worrisome and often gross girls get drawn into a local missing person case. Delivered in the most purple of prose that make you feel the hot, sticky, overbearing atmosphere of urban Florida.

The story, the lives of the sisters the ending it’s just beautifully written and it broke my heart.

This whole Boys of Tommen series has took over my head. Regardless of it being set in a school it doesn’t feel that way. I love Gibsie and Shannon and how they have overcome all they have been through such a good read!!
