By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @zooloosBT and @/EffieMerryl for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. Shes not there is a crime novel snd is 283 pages long. I found the story was gripping from the start and held my attention . Shes not there is written well snd loved the dramatic story line and how gripping the story is. There was some good twists and i liked the character Kat who is Ds and is was great to follow her unfolding this case. First time i have read anything from F.E Birch and i will be reading more in the future 5 stars. Book Blurb She’s Not There is a dark police procedural, an original locked-coffin mystery with themes of child abuse, death, murder. Skeletal remains are found buried under a tree by the once famous crime writer, Jed Gillespie. The skeleton is a woman who had been cremated two years ago – allegedly. The small town of Glendargie is uprooted as DS Kat Dubois starts to unravel secrets and the intricate lives of the community … and she discovers a small place is no place to hide at all. Author Bio F.E. Birch is an ex-cop from the North-East of England. She’s lived in London and Scotland and often inside her head. She won the first Bloody Scotland Pitch Perfect competition in 2012 with the premise for this, her debut novel, She’s Not There. Life became messy but the novel is now here. She is a prolific short story writer with a trail of pseudonyms and publications behind her. She has self published two anthologies of winning short stories, Bowl of Cherries and the forthcoming Rather Like Marzipan. A businesswoman with a bendy EDS body, GSOH, and a tad clumsy, she wears many hats and loves wigs. Her friends call her Effie. With a penchant for dark, deep and disturbing, her crimes are rarely cosy.

Thank you @strangelymagic and @neemtreepress for letting me review this book. War of the wind is 220 pages snd is you g adukt fiction. I really enjoyed reading this book and felt like ot held my attention to the end. I really like the characters my favourite where Max, Beanie and Erin. I love the plot with the evil Doctor Asheood and the wind turbines. It was lovely to see Max develop and start to accept his disabiliny and for Max to have the strengh to tell his dad how he felt about him not communicate with him. My heart did go out to dad ehen i found out why. It did make me sad in places but its great read and gripped me. I slso liked hid uncle and twister. I feel young adults will love this story its diffent and its grest suspence.

Thank you, @HeatherJFitt , for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Escape is set in the Mediterranean about John who has lost his wife and is trying to run away from his sadness and Pain but his life starts to change but not for the better. The descriptions in the book were brilliant. It made me feel I was in the Mediterranean with John. I found the story slow at the beginning but after a few chapters the pace sped up and then I could not put it down. I did feel sorry for John due to him seeing happy couples around him. He was surround in greif and drank to get rid of his pain.Then I felt more bad for him when he ended up in the world of drugs. I wanted to shout at him to run. Entertaining story that will keep you gripped to the end. If you like crime mystery this book is for you 4 stars.
