The Woman in the Woods by J A Baker

Image
Thank you @rararesources and @thewriterjude for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Women in the Woods is a psychological thriller that gets your attention straight the way. I found the book had a great amount of suspense and is a thrilling read. There are two protagonists running through the book: the author who lives in the woods with her dog and a different woman. The story goes back to the past and the present day and while reading The Women In the Woods, I was trying to work out who they both were I did get it right but there was something I did not get correct which made me go oh and yes that makes sense. (I am Writing in code because I don't want to give the plot away) I found the book to be gripping and held my attention. This is a good psychological read that is written very well. There is some great twist and turns running through the book. Did I like the characters, well I think I felt sorry for them both because of how isolated they both beca...

Thank you @KellyALacey @lovebookstours for letting me be part of this read-along. You Killed My Wife is a crime thriller genre that is an entertaining read that kept me gripped to my seat. The story is written in first person which is Mort's perspective and he investigating his wife's death. You Kileed my wife had everything in it that kept you glued, It was action-packed, great suspense and very gripping. I love Mort's friend who is called Pig who is a great name their relationship is full of trust and they are loyal to each other which I like. Pig helps Mort to find out who killed his wife. There is a good amount of danger in the book and you can tell A. J. Wilton has reached well into this area of crime, politics and spy gadgets. This is different to what I normally read and I am glad I have read it, I cant wait for book 2. Good read 4 stars.

Thank you @KellyALacey @lovebookstours and @PhillFeathers #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Rhymer's Daughter is book 2 in the series and you can read this as a standalone which is what I did. . This is the first book I have read by Phill Featherstone and he is a very skilled storyteller and I enjoyed reading this book immensely. I found it to be gripping and held my attention till the end. I do want to read Book 1. I felt that the character Yalka did pull at my heartstrings due to her brother getting killed and now having no home and other things that happened to her on her journey. Yalka has to try to restart her life again but she comes across some difficult challenges along the way. I found The Rhymer's Daughter to be at a good pace and very addative. A fantastic read that left me in bits in places. 5 stars. Out to buy now. I am glad I read it a great story. Blurb in Leopard's Bane #1, The Poisoned Garden, ...

Thank you @CayellePub @KellyALacey @lovebookstours #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter for letting me be part of this tour and for reviewing this book. Forever Indebted is a very short read and I wished it was longer. This is a fantastic read about Maddy and Grayson. Maddy lives away and is engaged to Martin and comes home to get the wedding ready and then bumps into Grayson who has been in love with her for a long time. You follow their story which I fully enjoyed and I read it in a couple of hours. Forever Indebted is a lovely and heartwarming romance that I think is about true love. . Can't wait to read more from Lorane Hopkins. The story is set on a ranch which I thought was a great place to do a love story. The story is well-written and engaging from the start. If your after a short read and love story you will love Forever Indebted. Amazing read 5 stars.

Thank you @rararesources and @MrsAmandaProwse for letting me read this book and being part of this tour. All Good Things is a women's fiction and I found it to be a fascinating read. The story has lots of protagonists running through the book. I enjoyed reading all of their perspectives on what's happening in their life. The story is about Winnie and her family and the family next door who have a daughter called Daisy. The story is set over a weekend. I did have some favourite characters: Daisy, Cleo and Marty they all seemed down-to-earth people. I enjoyed reading about Daisy's family and Cleo, I found them very interesting and entertaining. I also felt sorry for the characters because some of them thought their life was rosy but there is a lot of secrecy and betrayal going on. I felt All good things had me on a rollercoaster of highs and lows through the book. I was happy with the ending with Daist and her family and Cleo, I felt like they deserved a happy ending.
