Blog Tour - The Philosophy of Love

 

Publication date 1st February 2024
About the book
What is love? Is it something spiritual or wholly physical? Can our feelings be explained and quantified? Or are we all actually two halves of a whole? 

Ask Alice and Luke and you’d receive vastly different answers. 

Despite her world having been recently dismantled by a messy break-up, Alice would tell you that love is the most important – albeit ineffable – human experiences. But when she once again crosses paths with her old school nemesis, Luke, he challenges this. Luke is a scientist and he’s certain love can be measured and explained – just like everything else. 

So the two decide to make a bet: they’ll each venture back into dating and if one of them falls in love, Alice wins, if not, then Luke does. 

But can anyone win when you’re playing with emotions?

My Review
I really enjoyed this book. I found I really liked the main character Alice. She has been through a lot and your heart just goes out to her. You find yourself feeling the emotions that Alice goes through in this book and you just have to cross your fingers and hope that she gets her happy ever after that she so desperately deserves. She is also a character that you can relate to and I feel like this book will help a lot of people going through the same.

This author has a fabulous style of writing which really captures you as a reader and makes you not want to put the book down. I know for sure I will definitely be reading more by this author in the future. 

Definitely make this your next read, you will definitely not be disappointed!

Blog Tour - The Girl In Room 12

 

Publication date 26th January 2024

About the book

My husband was the last person to see the girl in room 12. But did he kill her? Our gorgeous house on our quiet tree-lined street is completely safe, the perfect place to raise our little girl. Or so I thought. Because my heart beats out of my chest when I hear the news tonight. A beautiful young woman has been killed in the River Walk Hotel, barely five minutes away. How can something so awful happen here?

I try to block the shocking story out as I kiss my sweet daughter goodnight, her blonde curls fanning out onto the pillow. I just want my husband Max to come home – I don’t feel safe.

I start to tidy up the house, the only way to distract myself from my swirling thoughts. And that’s when I find it. It’s unmistakable. A key card for room 12 at the River Walk Hotel. Where that poor girl has just been found dead. It must be a coincidence. Right?

My hand starts to shake as I think back over the last few days. I know Max has been a bit distracted, arriving home late at night. I’ve started to become paranoid that he could be having an affair. But never something like this.

I tell myself that Max couldn’t kill anyone. He’s a family man now, different to who he was before. Even so, I should go to the police right away. But I can’t.

Because if I do, I’m scared they’ll start to suspect me. How much do I really know about the girl in room 12? And if the truth comes out, how far will I go to protect my precious family?

A completely gripping thriller from bestselling author Kathryn Croft that will leave you breathless as you turn the pages. Fans of Lisa Jewell, K.L. Slater and Freida McFadden will be captivated by The Girl in Room 12.

My Review
OH MY GOD!!! This book is outstanding! I take my hat off to this author! They clearly know how to write such a bestseller!
From the minute I picked up this book I struggled to pull myself away from it and was unable to put it down. There was SO many twists and turns. Every single one of them was unexpected and I definitely didn't see them coming. Honestly my heart was pounding throughout.
The characters where amazing and fitted the story perfect, there was plenty to love and hate. 
An absolutely fantastic book.

The Fortune Teller

 

Publication date 1st April 2024

About the book

‘You might think you’ve met the man of your dreams. But if you marry him, it will end in tragedy within five years. If you want everyone you love to stay safe, you should walk away…’

The fortune teller told me my fate. But I ignored her. I married the man of my dreams. We made a family. Our life is beautiful, safe and happy.

I’ve pushed that hazy, sunny afternoon in the park, where we spotted a funfair setting up, and my best friends and I dared each other to go into the fortune teller’s tent…

I’ve tried to forget what she said about how tragedy lay ahead for me. I want to believe that we are in charge of our own fates. Looking at my two perfect, beautiful children, I refuse to believe things could go wrong for us…

But as strange things begin to happen, I begin to wonder… could there be any truth behind what the fortune teller told me that day? And if not, who in my life wants me to be scared for my life? And how do I protect the family from the worst fate imaginable?

A totally gripping psychological thriller that fans of Gone Girl, The Housemaid and K.L. Slater will be utterly hooked by.


My Review

Literally picked this book up in the morning and began to read it and before I knew it I was finishing it later that evening. Its that addicting, honestly I found this so hard to put down. Every page that went past, I was frightened, I was dreading what was coming next. I could never have predicted the outcome. I’m still in shock its crazy. The suspense oh my god! 

The characters are so relatable and you can easily imagine yourself in their position. I just really felt for Simmy the main character, she seems like such a lovely person and you desperately want the best for her. You will definitely feel all the emotions with her. 

Another thing I enjoyed about this book was the way it was based on a fortune teller.  Now the whole fortune teller business frightens and intrigues me. I would never be able to visit one myself, I’d dread if there was anything bad they would say and I wouldn’t be able to enjoy life knowing the upcoming. I do believe its best not knowing but wouldn’t you just love it if you were to hear positive and exciting things that would happen to you.

The way the author has written this book is incredible, they know how to capture your attention and not loose it. I would definitely say this is got to be one of my favourite books ever! Will definitely be reading a whole lot more from this author and I can’t wait for the next book!

About the Book
She's moved on

Three years after her fiancé was murdered, Gemma Morgan is, at last, starting to move on with her life.

He's long gone

Or is he?
Only this time, it isn’t grief that consumes her – it’s fearing for her life.

A pacy and gripping read with a chilling twist, perfect for fans of My Lovely Wife, The Wedding Day and The Other Woman.


My Review
WOW! I found myself hooked on this from that very first chapter I struggled to put it down. The main character Gemma, my goodness what a woman she is! I went through many emotions with her on her journey. I was devastated for her after the loss of her almost husband. Then extremely frightened for her so many times. I was so worried what was going to happen to her. I flew through this book as I needed to know if she was going to be ok or not. But nothing prepared me for the ending. I literally did not see that coming, and no matter how many times I tried to guess I definitely come close to this. 

This author sure knows how to write a bestseller thriller! They know how to capture your attention and make you completely obsessed with the book.
