The Boatmore Butcher by L. Stephenson

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @ZooloosBT and L.Stephenson for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Boatmore Butcher is a Horror Gener and is very dark and graphic read. The story is about Liam and his friends who are Paramedics and people keep dying but Liam tries hard to keep them alive but the killer founds horrible ways to prevent people saving them. This book is not for the squeamish. I loved it. The story has three sections to it and I must admit the first part was my favourite. I kind of guessed who the killer was but was shocked when there was another and didn’t realise who it was. I was hooked to the book, and it is a chilling read that will make your heart pound. This is the first book I have read By L. Stephenson, and I will be looking for more. This was intense read and I read it in a day because I was hooked and needed to know what was going to happen to all the people on the island. The Boatmore Butcher is great read for the dark months ahead. The story is gripping with some great twists. 5 stars. L’s Bio L. Stephenson has been telling stories of killers and boogeymen to his friends and writing them on his computer since the summer before he began high school. A university degree in Film & TV Screenwriting, a handful of anthologies and a novella later, and not much has changed, it seems! Stephenson's first short story was published as part of a Halloween-themed collection by Dark Ink back in 2018. Nearly five years later, terror just came full circle as the author has returned home to Dark Ink to release his debut slasher novel, The Boatmore Butcher. Book Blurb Three paramedics are drawn into the mystery of a bizarre spree unfolding on a quiet island town. Devastated by the loss of his son, Liam Price, must hold it together whilst leading his team against a killer who finds new and twisted ways to prevent them from saving the lives of their victims. But one serious mistake puts them and everyone they love in grave danger. As the island starts to slip into hysteria, our villain goes to gruesome lengths to keep their identity a secret. Able to hide in plain sight, the killer is out for revenge as they close in on their prey. Can they escape the wrath of the Boatmore Butcher?

    Thank you so much for reading. I absolutely loved your review. And I'm glad that you mentioned Part 1. It has a special place in my heart, and was the first book I had ever written before it became the opening third of this novel.

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.

The Pawnshop of Stolen Dreams is for young adults between 9-13 years, which will keep them entertained till the end. The story is dark and well-written. The illustrations are amazing and great fantasy. The story is at a great pace and love adventure running through the book 5 stars. Blurb In a strange little village called Witchetty Hollow, eleven-year-old Florizel is the first to run into the curious visitors who've come to open a brand new Daydream Delicatessen and sack-baby factory.

But after a few weeks, Florizel starts to notice something odd happening ...

Thank you @NikkiTgriffiths , @Seeshespeak and @Melivillehouse for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. I love the front cover its very eye catching witch would make me pick up to read the blurb. I like the title to. I found hanging out very instresting read its very true how people lost on technology and how we lost the connections in the real world since covid. I found it difficult and awakard going to social situations not knowing what to say or woundering if people want me there all because we been locjed away. I like how Sheila highlights her importance for us to hang out togther and how socialsing has changed through the years. Hanging out is written well and easy to get into and the topic is well researched. 4 stars. The digital age has consumed us. Every time we unlock our phones, we disengage from our social interactions. As a digital society we have fractured our real-life relationships, splintered our attention and created social voids. We overcompensate f...
