Review: Evil In Disguise

Evil In Disguise by M.A. Comley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Wow

Another 5 star read by this fantastic Author.

M A Comley has done it again.

In this book, Mel has taken a different direction, and this one is based on a true story. As always the books are very gripping, to the point you really do get drawn in and I found myself many times talking to the book, sometimes shouting, and at other times trying to tell the character what she should and shouldn't be doing .....

I really felt like I knew the Character, Jenny is in an abusive marriage, and this book covers the subject very well. Jenny has been abused for many years by her husband Bill, yet no one, not even her children know about it.

How will Jenny deal with things, when her children finally do find out. Will they actually believe her? after all he is their wonderful loving father. And for all these years they have had no idea about any of it. Jenny has done such a good job covering up her abuse is it possible to make people believe you when you do finally tell them.

When Jenny finally get's to meet her pen pal of many years, along with another person who has been writing to her, things in her life start to change, and are people taking advantage of such a nice person, or is she just gullible and in a position in her life that it is easy for others to take advantage of her. Can she come out of years of abuse a stronger happier person, or are things just going to spiral out of control.

A must read

Review: Private India

Private India by James Patterson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



I have read and loved most of the Private series. Also read and loved the other series by James Patterson.
But with this one I have really struggled. And I think the main reason is the Indian Names, i really struggled to get my head around who was who, and then what was happening. I spent so long trying to pronounce the names in my head i got frustrated with it..
That said the story its self was quite good, and I will certainly be reading the next installment..

A body, but not just any body, it turns out its the body of Daisy's Childood sweetheart.

A great easy fun to read mystery.

Review: Before I Go To Sleep

Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars




4/5
I was really unsure about this book before I started reading it as I had read so many mixed reviews.
The book is based around Christine, who loses her memory when she goes to sleep and has to start afresh every time she wakes up. She wakes up in a strange bed with a strange man every morning, or this is how her morning starts. He's not a strange man, its not a strange bed. It's her husband and she is at home. Thanks to an accident when she was 29, Christine goes to sleep every night and has her memory erased.
With this book I found myself trying to imagine what it would be like, waking up like that each morning. I'm really not sure my hubby would cope telling me the same things each morning, he's terrible if he has to repeat himself.
Lots of twists and turns....thought I'd sussed out what was happening but, no. Brilliant!
Great story line - believable characters - gobsmacked at finding out how it ends. Couldn't wait to get to the end.
And all in all it seemed like a very easy read

Review: Crossing The Line

Crossing The Line by Kerry Wilkinson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of this book. And as with all of Kerry's other books, I was really looking forward to reading it. As usual I was not disappointed.
Some series I find when they start getting 7/8 books in, you can start to get a little fed up of them, or going off certain characters. Not with these books, I have enjoyed each and everyone of them.

Kerry has written this the 8th book as book one of Series two, so If you have not read any of the previous books you could pick up from this point and start from here. (personally i would read them all from book one first).
I just love Jessica, there is something about her that is real, and her character is believable, with all she has been through over the years you just can't help liking and admiring her.
In this book Jessica is back to work after being off following a case that messed with her life slightly (I don't want to give to much away). And following her last case she has now been promoted to Detective Inspector. We follow a few very good story lines in this book, and one of them is based around the Stretford Slasher, a name that i couldn't help giggling at when I first read it. But is really nothing to laugh at,
As usual with Kerry this book keeps you on the edge all the way through, and has some fantastic twists in it. All in all *A Bloody good read*

Review: Tortured Justice

Tortured Justice by M.A. Comley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Book 9 in the Justice series. Wow so much has happened and changed since book 1. This is one of those series that one day you know you just have to start all over again and re read them all.

In Tortured Justice - Lorne is back and still working for the met, she's now been back 12 month. And is a Detective Sergeant , along with her partner Detective Inspector Katy Foster they have a new case to solve, A man has been found dead outside a local hospital.
Before to long more bodies start to turn up, and we are soon thinking this is the same killer, and if it is Why. When reading the book, you know the who and why, but you need to know how Lorne and Katy are going to figure things out, can they piece things together and find out why these men are being murdered?

Along side working for the met, Lorne is still interfering in the day to day running of her dog rescue center which is now run by Lorne's Husband Tony, a former MI6 officer, and Lorne's daughter Charlie. We also see a return of Carol, her character I just can't help but like. I also felt like I really knew some of the new characters and could really put faces to their names. Amazing. (anyone who is friends with Mel on Facebook, or follows any of her groups, will know what i mean)
The story, like all other stories written by Mel Comley is just a fantastic enjoyable read. I can't believe how excited I get when I know the new book is out, and again, i am eagerly awaiting the next one... (No pressure, hey Mel)

Review: The Woman Who Stole My Life

The Woman Who Stole My Life by Marian Keyes

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Unlike many other readers. I have not read many of Marian Keyes books, and without going checking my years old archive I could maybe say this is the first one. So with this book I wasn't comparing it to any other work.
I enjoyed the book, it was *different* i found it quite an easy enjoyable read, with the odd giggle and the odd gasp.
The book kept my attention to a certain degree, and overall it was an ok/enjoyable read.


Stella Sweeney is back in Dublin. After living the dream in New York for a year - touring her self-help book, appearing on talk shows all over the USA and living it up in her 10-room duplex on the Upper West Side - she's back to normality with a bang. And she's got writer's block.

Read as part of my #Netgalleymonth readathon
