 At the moment I'm currently working my way through all of Cathy's fostering memoirs and after reading about Lucy in a couple I thought it was only right I read her story and come to see how Cathy ended up being Lucy's adoptive mother. I liked how this book started off with Lucy's background and about her mother Bonnie, it told you about the real struggles that Bonnie had and her relationships with not only Lucys father but the background on her own family. Lucy thought she was unlovable after being moved around so much, she thought she was the reason that no one wanted her, until she met Cathy, Cathy showed her what a family was, what life could be really like and has given her her happy ever after.  I didn't want to put this one down. I loved reading about the whole process from having Lucy placed in Cathy's care, through various reviews and meetings also what the school does to help, I was just fascinated by it all. I'm looking forward to reading the next...

 Can you believe this is book 11 in the inspector Mclean series by James Oswald? This has to be one of my favourite series ever and I'm so excited that I was asked to take part in the blog tour for his latest novel in the series 'What Will Burn'. When the burnt out remains of an elderly woman are discovered in a woodlands in Edinburgh, its clear to Mclean that this isn't an accidental fire...but who would want to beat an elderly woman in her 90s and set her on fire? Could there be a more to this than meets the eye?  With Tony back on the job and having been demoted he is keen to get to the bottom of this, he's actually quiet happy about his demotion and can now give his all to his cases instead of having to find excuses. I love the supernatural twists that run through James's books, I think they're extremely clever and each book just gets better and better! The characters are on point and you become invested in them! Although this is book 11 in the series, I...
