Blog Tour - Good Bad Mother

 

Publication date 17th February 2025
About the Book

When we move to the exclusive Cutters Island, my life changes overnight. Dressed like the perfect wife, pushing my baby down the street in her pink stroller, I look up and smile at the security cameras. Because I know they are watching. And for now, I need to play my part.

I wake up in my beautiful bedroom and instinctively feel for my husband. But the silk sheets are cold—he hasn’t come home. Reaching for the baby monitor on my nightstand, I scan the screen for the familiar shape of my sleeping daughter. But she’s not there.

Moving through the house in the darkness, I tell myself the footage is just grainy. I pass the large window over the stairs, and see a light on in my mother-in-law’s house across the street, as if she is watching. The thought sends a chill down my spine and I start to run. And as I open my daughter’s bedroom door, my worst fear comes true: 
my baby is gone.

As I collapse onto the carpet, I smell smoke. And when I turn to see flames licking at the banister, I know this is my fault. 
I am paying for what happened that night all those years ago…

Because I am not a perfect wife. I am not a good mother. But I am the perfect liar.

No one knows what I have been through to get this life. 
And they shouldn’t underestimate how far I’ll go to get my baby back…

An addictive and gripping thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Packed with twists you’ll never see coming, this is perfect for fans of Freida McFadden’s The HousemaidThe Girl on the Train and Colleen Hoover’s Verity.

My Review

Wow, Wow, Wow! This book is absolutely fantastic. I was completely hooked and spent hours staying up to read this as I needed to know what was going to happen. Full of twists and suspense.

Blog Tour - The First Husband

 

Publication date 4th February 2025
About the book 
I thought my first husband was dead. But when I get a letter with his name on it just days before my wedding, it will tear my perfect new life apart…

As we drive up to the gorgeous house by the lake with its red and yellow roses round the door, I breathe in the pure air and count my blessings. In two days’ time I’m getting married to 
Matt, my soulmate and the father of my beautiful boy. After all the pain of my past, my life now is perfect.

But later that night I hear a knocking outside. I find the back door swinging open and a card lying on the floor, addressed to me in familiar handwriting…

I can’t wait to see you. I’ve missed you so much. All my love, Callum.

Callum was my first husband. Eight years ago, when we were staying at this exact same place for my birthday, he disappeared.

All the people who were with me that terrible night are here for the wedding. My brother. His wife. My new partner Matt: Callum’s best friend. We all had reasons to hate Callum then. We all have reasons to lie now.

The police are sure Callum is dead. But as I look around at my loved ones, I wonder…

Does someone know what really happened that night?

Does someone know what I did?

And if Callum is back, is he the dangerous one… or is it one of us?

An utterly page-turning, gripping psychological thriller, full of twists and gasp-out-loud moments. Perfect for fans of K.L. Slater, Shari Lapena and Claire Douglas.

My Review
I literally couldn't put this book down I was extremely hooked. The characters where fantastic and I was doubting them all throughout I didn't know who to believe.
I did not expect the ending at all so it was brilliant and I was surprised.
I will definitely read more from this author in the future.

Blog Tour - Wife, Mother, Liar

 

Publication date 10th January 2025
About the Book

She’s perfect. Too perfect…

Wife: For twenty-five years, my husband and I have been the ideal couple. I’m shy, but he’s always been the life and soul of the party, a charmer, so I didn’t worry the first time I caught him a little too close to my best friend, Wendy.

Mother: Then our darling son says he’s taking Wendy’s daughter to prom, the girl I never trusted because she’s too much like her mother. As I snap photos of them, I have a smile plastered on my face, but inside my head I’m screaming at him to stay away from her.

Liar: As flashing lights slice the darkness around our home, my worst nightmare comes true with the shocking news that one of our children is dead. And I can tell my husband, my best friend are both lying about where they were. But none of their secrets compares to mine.

And nobody knows just how far I’d go to protect my family…

My Review
Oh my god this book is absolutely terrifying! I am in complete and total shock with that ending! The amount of twists that happen in this book is crazy, I didn't see them coming at all. I was lost for words! So many times I was on the edge of my seat reading this. I literally couldn't put it down. I was so scared what was going to happen next with every coming chapter. You could literally hear my heart pounding whilst I read this. 

Fantastic bunch of characters and a gripping plot. I can definitely see this book go straight to that number one stop at the top of the best selling charts!

I am a huge fan of this authors books, they sure know how to write incredible bestsellers.

Blog Tour - The Perfect Boyfriend

 

Publication date 6th January 2025
About the Book
I know it’s him. He says we’ve never met. Why would he lie?

Her
When I see him, my heart stops dead. I tell myself it’s impossible, but I would recognise those striking pale blue eyes anywhere. It’s 
himThe high-school boyfriend I adored… Until the day he vanished without a trace.

I run towards him, my pulse racing. He turns, politely, a puzzled look on that familiar face. ‘I’m sorry,’ he says. ‘Do I know you?’

I need answers. I’m certain he’s lying. 
I just have to prove it.

Him
Of course you recognised me. Always so keen, always trying to do right by everyone.

It’s typical of my bad luck that we happened to run into each other.

I left this place for a reason – one you never knew. And now I’m back, I have plans.

And I’m afraid, my dear, 
that you’re getting in my way…

A completely gripping story of betrayal, lies and secrets that will have you gripped to every page and open-mouthed at the twists. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Ruth Ware and Gillian Flynn.

My Review
This book is absolutely fantastic. It is completely unpredictable what the outcome is going to be, you will be guessing right until the end. There are so many twists that will have you gripped from the very start. I was nervous as to what was going to happen, full of suspense and will have you hooked.
