  The Intruders Written by Louise Jensen, About / Blurb: They were told to leave. They should have listened. The perfect opportunity… A manor house available rent-free to house-sitters is an offer too good to miss for Cass and James, who have been saving for a deposit on their own home for so long. Although it had been abandoned for almost thirty years, after a home invasion left almost all the inhabitants dead, it is an amazing chance for them to build their future. But is it worth the price? Shortly after moving in things take a sinister turn. Objects disappear and turn up in odd places, the clock always stops at the same time, the house is strangely oppressive and sometimes it feels like Cass and James are not alone. Newington House may have bad energy, and a dark reputation. But surely there’s no reason for history to repeat itself, is there? What people are saying: ‘Readers are CAPTIVATED by Louise Jensen!’ My Review: After reading its’ blurb, I was really excited to read this...

But there is a dark cloud on the horizon. Dennis is due to be released from prison and Rachel worries that he will kill again, that he may even come after her. And sure enough, a series of murders begins around the time of his release. Rachel is terrified, convinced that her father is stalking her, certain she will be his next victim. Even worse, Dan thinks she is being paranoid and won’t do anything to protect her. Isolated, vulnerable, Rachel spends her days in an agony of terror and ...

  Broken Girls,  Written by Nicky Downes About: When teenager Leia Thompson drops dead in a shopping mall of apparent natural causes, Detective Jacqueline ‘Jack’ Kent is the only one convinced something isn’t right. Why was Leia at the mall alone? Why are there scars – old and new – all over her body? Visiting Leia’s mother, Jack quickly realises that she controlled every aspect of her daughter’s short life, home-schooling her and moving town every few months. At their house, Jack finds a room crammed with records detailing the teenager’s complex medical history right from the moment of her birth. A sinister picture starts to emerge in Jack’s mind – of a mother capable of hurting her own child. When another girl dies in similar circumstances, the only thing that seems to connect the victims is their youth and frail health – and Leia’s estranged father. He emerges as their prime suspect until the girls’ autopsy reports come back with sinister similarities, and Jack’s attention ...

About: (NO Spoilers!) The main character is Karina, who believes she had a 4 year son, Jacob, who, whilst on a family holiday in Turkey, she one day wakes up to discover he has vanished , & without any trace of him ever having existed. She soon comes to doubt herself as to whether he was real, or whether she is losing her mind, & the story then goes on from there.  It’s a well thought out plot, & develops well, & at a great pace. Its pace is kept up throughout, which is easy to read, follow, & satisfies well as it continues, in keeping with wanting to keep reading more. It does include the sensitive theme of domestic abuse, more as in coercive, controlling, & manipulative behaviour, & whilst to some this exact story plot may seem a bit far-fetched, having my own relatable type of experience, I can easily understand just ‘how’ some spouses/ex-spouses will go to any lengths to remain in, or regain, such control, & just how under-hand & deceitful th...
