SPOTLIGHT ~ Little Sister by Isabel Ashdown

 

Hi Everyone,

Today is my stop for the Blog Tour for Little Sister by Isabel Ashdown where I was supposed to get a copy of the book from the publishers to read and review but it never arrived and my local library wouldn't have had it in in time so unfortunately I didnt get the opportunity to read it so instead I will have to shine a spotlight on the book instead . I was thrilled to be asked by Tracy Fenton from Compulsive Reading in conjunction with who organised this tour to take part along with some other fab book bloggers. You can find out who else has taken part in this fabulous Blog Tour at the end of this spotlight been shone on Little Sister but I really look forward to reading it once it comes back into my local library so without further ado, here it is:

If you can't trust your sister, then who can you trust? 

After sixteen years apart sisters Jessica and Emily are reunited. With the past now behind them, the warmth they once shared quickly returns and before long Jess has moved into Emily's comfortable island home. Life couldn't be better. But when baby Daisy disappears while in Jess's care, the perfect life Emily has so carefully built starts to fall apart. Was Emily right to trust her sister after everything that happened before?

BLOG TOUR ~ The Reunion by M.J.Arlidge & Steph Broadribb

 Hi Everyone,

Today is my stop for the Blog Tour of The Reunion by M.J. Arlidge & Steph Broadribb where I've a review of their latest book. I was thrilled to be asked by Tracy Fenton from Compulsive Reading in conjunction with Orion who organised this tour to take part along with some other fab book bloggers. You can find out who else has taken part in this fabulous Blog Tour at the end of this so without further ado, here it is:

A skull looks up at Jennie from the trench, but it's not the chalk-white bone and grimacing teeth that sends her reeling. It's the heart-shaped gold pendant, it's delicate chain snapped in two. The necklace Hannah never took off. It can't be Hannah. But it is......

When Jennie Whitmore arrives at her school reunion, she immediately regrets her decision. Why would she choose to surround herself with people who were never nice to her? Who still aren't, even now she's a police officer? The only person who truly looked out for her all those years ago was charming, beautiful Hannah. Until the day she disappeared.

Jennie is ready to finally put White Cross Academy behind her, the old school building demolished the morning after the party. But with the demolition comes a call: a teenage girl's remains have been found on the grounds.

The instant drop in Jennie's gut tells her that the remains might be Hannah's, but when she's called in to examine them, the truth becomes undeniable. Hannah didn't run away and abandon Jennie thirty years ago; in fact, she never left White Cross at all.

Suddenly, Jennie has a murder to solve. The murder of her best friend. But can she do so before her colleagues discover just how closely connected she is to the victim? Before a mystery stalker makes good on his threats to silence her for good?

Well, where do I start with this review!? I didn't just like it, I absolutely LOVED IT. It was brilliant and I CAN'T recommend it enough, to be honest I wasn't too sure when I first started the book if it was going to work with joint authors writing it as this was my first time to read a book like this but it was excellent. Full of twists and turns in this complex investigation into the murder of Hannah. I even had to slow down reading it as I didn't want it to end, the story flowed really well and at a fast pace too and there were parts in the book I could feel my heart rate raising a little so it's definitely not for the fainthearted. This is M.J. Arlidge & Steph Broadribb's first joint novel together and I hope it won't be their last either.

The Reunion is published by Orion and is available on Kindle, Audiobooks and is available from all good bookstores and libraries.
