I loved Maria in the Moon by Louise Beech and was excited by the idea of the deliciously titled Call Me Star Girl which has been creeping up my TBR list since it launched. I was not disappointed. Two words: Obsessive Love. For this is what Ms Beech’s brilliantly written, poignant and just plain creepy […]

I’m wishing you all a very happy and healthy New Year, and am kicking off my blog for 2019 with my review of In The Dark, which I enjoyed immensely and awarded 5 stars on Amazon. In the Dark is Cara Hunter’s second novel in her DI Adam Fawley series. Personally, I preferred it to […]
