This Christmas - Emma Heatherington

Image
So today is my stop on the blog tour for This Christmas by Emma Heatherington. My first Christmas book I've read this year and I absolutely loved it. Rose and Charlie, two complete strangers, both want to escape Christmas, Rose isn't ready to deal with Christmas after a tragedy and everything changed and Charlie is facing his first Christmas alone, so just wants to escape all of the Christmas fuss. Unbeknownst to each other they both book a christmas break at Seaview cottage, somewhere personal for Rose and somewhere recommend by a close friend for Charlie. However it appears Seaview cottage has been double booked at they both have to share the cottage over the festivities. Could this be the unexpected Christmas they both never knew they needed?  I absolutely loved this book, I loved how each chapter alternated between Rose and Charlie to get their full story.  Thisnis the perfect Christmas book to get cosy, grab a hot chocolate and just get lost on this magical story.  I...

The Housemaid - Freida Mcfadden

Image
 I picked this one up because of the hype around it and what can I say..it most definitely lived it too it. I was HOOKED!! Now this book was a rollercoaster from start to finish, when I thought I had worked it out.. I really hadn't, the twists were just fantastic. Probably a top read for me this year. I cannot wait to get started on book 2. I read this as part of a buddy read with @chezzasnovelidea. And we thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.

The Family Remains - Lisa Jewell

Image
Oh my goodness, she has done it again!! I bloody LOVED this, I actually enjoyed this one more than The Family Upstairs. I thought that this book was very cleverly written, I loved the chapters alternating between the different characters to get the full story from all the different points of view. I absolutely loved a couple of the twists throughout, some bits I really didn't see coming. I loved how thought out Henry's character was and watching him develop over the two books!! I read this as a buddy read with the fabulous @readingrelaxation I cannot wait to pick up my next Lisa Jewell read.

Daisy Darker - Alice Feeney

Image
What an absolute TWIST, I definitely did not see that coming! So this is my first Alice Feeney book, and without a doubt this certainly won't be the last! From start to finish I was completely engaged, I loved how the story flitted between past and present and the whole story just came together.....I loved that every person's story was told throughout!! Just Wow, that twist at the end I didn't see it!! I really don't want to say too much about the book as I really want people to read it, definitely a classic whodunit! I read this one as a buddy read with @morgzreads_2003 I'm really enjoying our buddy reads at the moment so keep your eyes peeled for more of our buddy reads!

Flawless - Elsie Silver

Image
What a remarkable kick off to the Chesnut Spring series. I was completely hooked! Rhett and Summers story was just unputdownable. Summer has always been a people pleaser and followed the rules, she went to law school because she thought it would please her dad, she becomes and agent for athletes for him, until she is given the assignment of kicking Rhett Eaton into touch, his image is in tatters and Summer is going to pull it back together....what she wasn't expecting was a full on babysitting job!  This book was all kinds of steamy! Completely hooked a great start to what feels like a good series, so grab your hat and cowboy boots you're in for a ride....already picked up book number 2. I read this as a buddy read with @buddyreadbooknook

Heartbones - Colleen Hoover

Image
Oh my goodness, what a read. This is everything I expect from Colleen Hoover, I haven't been disappointed by any of her books yet. Once again pulled in from the very start! With writing so addictive, and as addictive as Colleen's writing I simply couldn't put the book down, what started as a buddy read with @morgzreads_2003 ended up being read in a day. Beyah and Samsons story I felt was very real, at times I actually forgot this was just a book, it makes you feel like you were actually apart of this story!! Colleen Hoover is another author who I know whatever I pick up that they've written I know I am going to be fully invested from start to finish.

The Family Upstairs - Lisa Jewell

Image
I absolutely love a buddy read, so I jumped at the chance when Leanne (@readingrelaxation) wanted to read The Family Upstairs. What a gripping read that pulls you in from the very start, going back and forth between the past and present builds the story really well. At first I found it confusing with who was who as there are alot.of characters involved in the story, but as it goes along you pick up who is who and each person is vital in the story, there is good vs evil in this dark and twisy read and I cannot wait to see what happens in book 2 - The Family Remains. Lisa Jewell is definitely a go to author for me, I know that anything I pick up by herbi will be completely enthralled by and know I'm in for a good read.
