Paula Hawkins previous book, The Girl On The Train, was a huge bestseller. This is her follow up book, which is the story of a murder. Nel Abbot is found dead in the Drowning Pool, a place where witches used to be drowned, and which has a reputation of being a haunted place, where local …
I was sent this book by the author for honest review, and all opinions here are my own. And I'm very glad that Cory Barclay did send it to me, because I really enjoyed it. Some of you who know your history or werewolf lore will have heard of the story of the Werewolf of …
I could not put this book down. I read it in two sittings. I'm not the kind of person who reads loads of true crime or serial killer stories, perhaps for the obvious reason that they are so tragic and sad, and also quite terrifying. So why is this book different? Robert Graysmith was a …

This book was sent to me by the author for review, so all opinions are my own, but thank you to Corey for sending it to me. This is the first novel by Corey Recko, who has written other non-fiction works, which have won some awards. He also writes for some historical magazines and things, …

A more fun book this week than usual, a Victorian mystery/thriller about a girl who has inherited a criminal empire from her grandmother and must learn how to use her new power wisely. But as she is coming into her own, her long lost brother asks her to shelter a child, and she soon finds …
