Thank you @steven.seidenberg #CodaByStevenSeidenberg and @literallypr For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. I find Coda to be a fascinating and eye-opening read into lyric and narrative in poetry. There was a lot in this book that I knew nothing about, and now I feel I know a bit more about lyric and poetry. I feel this is a book you can dip in and out of because there is so much information and knowledge on this topic it will broaden your arisins. It was a intriguing and interesting read. 4 stars. Blurb The nameless narrator of Coda attempts to trace the origins of linguistic and perceptual differentiation by experimenting with contemporary lyric and narrative forms. Moving between extravagant prosody and obsessive disquisition, Seidenberg’s poetry works to reconfigure conceptual imperatives found throughout philosophy and theology. With a focus on the structure of memory and the decadence of the body, Seidenberg describes the epistemological regress of des...

Secret Lives of the Dead by Tim Lebbon

Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Secret Lives of the Dead is a horror thriller genre. I like the front cover and title; it really works well and looks very creepy. I read Secret Lives of the Dead in a day; it was a rapid read. Furthermore, I like that there were four narratives, which are Jodie, who has a past and encourages her boyfriend BB, who is the second narrative, to help her burgle an old mansion with his friend Matt, who is the third narrative, and lastly, Lem, who is to do with Jodie past. If I am honest, I did not like Jodie but really liked BB and Matt, who seemed like lovely people. I didn’t actually feel like this was the horror genre; it felt more like a thriller to me, which is even better. The story is fast-paced which is fantastic, and you can keep up with it. I also liked how the book went from present to past; it really worked, and I felt like I knew the characters backgrounds and them a bit more. There is a goo...

Trust No One by Caleb Crowe

Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Trust No One is a psychological thriller. I like the front cover; it looks intriguing. There are two narratives in the story. Grace is struggling due to her selling houses as a job but does not seem to be doing well due to her being on her last warning from her boss, and her colleagues are not that great either. Then she meets Oliver, who is a coach who is trying to help, but he has his own dark issues. I found the first couple of chapters a bit challenging to get into at first, and as I carried on reading, I eventually got into the book and was gripped to the end. It was a thrilling and dark read that kept me on my toes and made my heart race, so I am so glad I kept on going. It was a great read. I did like Grace as a character and did feel for her struggling in her job, and I did like her as a person, but I was very unsure about Oliver, and I didn’t know what to make of him at first. I did enjoy ...

Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. He'll Never Let Me Go is a psychological thriller, which is my favorite genre. He'll Never Let Me Go is cleverly written and took me to 70% to work it all out. What a brilliant read. It took me two days to read it, and I loved Sadie Ryan writing style. It hooks you in from the beginning, and you can’t stop reading. There are some hard topics in the book to do with domestic abuse, but Sadie Ryan deals with them really well. There are some fantastic twists and turns that I didn’t expect, which is awesome. I feel there is an enormous amount of suspense and tension through the book, and I loved getting the different perspectives from the different characters. This made it even more thrilling to read, and I was very invested in all the characters. I will definitely read more books by Sadie Ryan in the future. I strongly recommend reading this book. Addictive read 5 stars. Bio Sadie Ryan is the b...

Thank you @rararesources For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Abracadabra is a paranormal genre, which is perfect for these dark nights. I absolutely adore the front cover with the black cat and the lady. I was drawn to it instantly. This book is filled with magic and mystery from start to finish. The characters are Rachel, Juliette, and Sylvia, and they are all related, and they all have a gift, and there are also curses that lurk around the corner. I was enthralled by the story and enjoyed following their story. I liked all three characters and felt like I got to know them all well. The story is engaging and easy to get into. I loved the twists and turns that entered the story; I didn’t see them coming. Entertaining read, 4 stars. Abracadabra In the spirit of Practical Magic and First Frost, a modern-day magic folk tale weaves a fantasy of love, secrets, spellbooks, and family bonds into evocative prose .... It's common knowledge in Duran Hill that ...

The Twin Sister by Yvette Davies

Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Twin Sister is a psychological thriller genre, and wow, what a book. It took me two days to read this book. It kept me on my toes all the way through. There are three narratives in the story, and it was fascinating hearing from all three. The first narrative is about Beth, whose life is falling apart, and she goes and stays with her twin sister for the weekend, which changes her life. I am not going to mention the other two narratives because it took me by surprise who they were, which was great, and I want the same reaction for you guys. The Twin Sister is a gripping and thrilling read that you will not be able to put down. There are some great twists and turns that I did not see coming at all. The Twin Sister is at a good pace and is easy to get into. A brilliant read. If you love psychological books, this is definitely for you. Will be reading more from Yvette Davis in the future. 5 stars. Bio...
