Bad Men by Julie Mae Cohen

Image
Thank you @ZaffreBooks for letting me read this book. Bad Men is an incredible read that made me laugh all the way through. I Liked Saffy a lot even though she is a serial killer she was a fantastic and a bit insane character but she was brilliant. I also liked Johnathan a lot and did feel sorry for him because he spilt up with his wife and things don't go too well for him until Saffy turns up. Johnathan writes books and does a podcast on the criminals he looks into. Bad Men is a dark and fast-paced read and if you want a light read then this book is for you. The story is written well and I found it engaging from the first page. You will absolutely love this book, it is totally different from anything I read. Bad men is a pageturner and you will not be able to put it down. Can't read to read more by Julie Mae Cohen in the future. 5 stars. Blurb Saffy has a secret. A secret that she is deeply ashamed of. It's not the fact that she's a serial killer in her free time. I

Wildflower by Monique Mulligan

Image
Thank you @Bloodhoundbook for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Wildflower is a very powerful and emotional read and I am glad I got to read it. The story is set in the past and about Jane's childhood as a 10-year-old who is bulled and with no friends who eventually a new family, moves in and Jane meets her best friend Acacia and then goes to the present where they are adults going through an abusive relationship. Wildflower is a Psycholocal thriller and the ending was not the person I thought was narrating in the present. I was shocked but it then all made sense. Wildflower is a gripping read that I read in a day, I could not put it down. I loved Jane and her family they were such a nice family that went through their own family dramas. There is some tough topic running through the book, abuse, love, bullying, relationships and many more. This is the first book I have read By Monique Mulligan and her writing g is brilliant and beautifully written. I st

Thank you @litpr and @Diana-Holbourn-Author for letting me be part of this tour. Trying to Make the World a Better Place is book 1 in the series that is for young adults. I liked the character Becky a lot she seems an awesome person who just wants to help other people that are going through stuff like bullying, addictions and life. The story is written well and is very informative on topics that are running through the book. Trying to Make the world a better place will be a great read for young teenagers that are going through bullying and to stand up for themselves.

The Nurse by Valerie Keogh

Image
Thank you @rarasources and @ValerieKeogh1 for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Well, what can I say The Nurse is an amazing read that I could not put down. I read The Nurse in a day it hooked me from the get-go. I sat there with my predictions about what would happen to Lissa and I was totally wrong but I do love it when this happens. The Nurse is a Psychological thriller genre which is my favourite and The Nurse did not let me down. The Nurse is an intense and dark read that keeps you on tenterhooks all the way through to the end. The story is written in the first person from Lizzie's perspective from when she is 10 years old being bullied and when she gets older and becomes a Nurse but hates her job, also Lizzie has a dark side.

Thank you @ZooloosBT and @AidanKMorrisseynd for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Atenisti is a crime thriller and from the first page, you are drawn into action and suspense. This story is written in first person and I did feel like I was on a rollercoaster reading about Ricci's life working for a secret organisation.

The front cover of The Heart of Pangaea is cute with a picture of Ed the Dimetrodon.

Robyn is the main character and she has an Imaginary friend called Ed. Robyn's Mum is very ill and Robyn falls more into her imaginary land to the Kingdom of Pangaea. I liked Robyn a lot, and I did feel sorry for her at times due to her mum being sick and other kids picking on her but I enjoyed reading about her and Ed trying to save her Mum and their adventure in Pangaea. I think young adults will enjoy The Heart of Pangaea immensely, it is a fantasy genre and definitely takes your imagination to another world.
