Sleep Tight - C.S Green

So today is my stop in the Sleep Tight blog tour and what a book it is!

I didn't want this book to end, I could have easily went straight on to a book 2 ( which I'm really hoping that this the start of  DC Rose Gifford series?!!!)

This is probably the most original book I have read in such a long time, it was really refreshing to see a supernatural element to a police procedural read.

This book starts off when DC Rose Gifford is called to investigate the death of a young woman, but whilst investigating they come to a bit of a dead end as they can't seem to find any evidence of the house being broken into or even any evidence to link someone to the crime? With the attempted murder of another woman, Rose is determined to get to the bottom of this, but just how will she find a way? At what cost will it be? 

I really enjoyed every moment of this book, I loved the characters too. I really hope this is the start of a series, I really want to read more! This is definitely one of the most original books I have read in such a long time, it was clever, twisty, dark compelling and very mysterious! Most definitely the elements you need for a bloody good book!!!

Fair Game - R.D Nixon

The addictive, gripping and unputdownable Book 2 in the Clifford-Mckenzie Series, although this is book 2 it reads perfectly well as a standalone as throughout the book it briefly keeps you up to date on what happened during book 1. After reading First Game, I will definitely be on the look out for book 1, Crossfire.  Fair Game kept me gripped until the very end and the twists were just incredible I never saw them coming, I actually thought I had worked out the murderer fairly early on but I was so wrong, I just love it when an author has that ability to completely trick you into thinking one thing and then later reveals a huge twist you don't see at all! This was a 5* read for me, very had to review without giving away the whole story, but definitely an author to start reading a d a series to start, I really hope there will be more crime fiction from R.D Nixon. Thank you once again to Anne for organising this blog tour through Random Things Tours and for letting me read and take p...

The Family Man - Kimberley Chambers

Image
So today is my stop on the blog tour for Kimberley Chambers new novel 'The Family Man'. The Family Man is the start of a brand new series for Kimberley. What an explosive first instalment it is, as with every book I've read from Kimberly I found it very hard to put down. I love the way her writing just pulls you straight in as if you are actually there.  In this new series we meet The Bonds, hard Bond is Kenny, recently freed from doing a stretch inside after killing a policeman by accident, Kenny adores his family his wife Shal, his kids Donny and Sherry, his grandkids Beau and Brett, his mother and aunt Nell and will stop at nothing to protect them, especially when one is caused harm!! This is definitely a family you don't want to get on the wrong side of! This book of course also contains its fair share of "notrights"!! I definitely can't wait for the second in the series!! Hopefully it's not too far away!!! A must read for crime/gangland fiction re...

Kalmann - Joachim Schmidt

Image
Today is my stop on the blog tour for 'Kalmann' by Joachim Scmidt, an Icelandic mystery full of humour.  I really enjoyed this book, I found it very atmospheric, humours and engaging. Although different for your usual mystery read I loved the originality around it.  Self appointed sherrif, Kalmann of  Raufarhöfn (a small town in the north of Iceland) comes across a puddle of blood whilst out Fox hunting. However instead of reporting the blood, he goes home to watch Dr Phil. It isn't until he is taken in for questioning we unravel the complex life of Kalmann Odinsson and how he became so engrossed in survival having learnt it from his grandfather. But by not reporting the puddle of blood stained ice could Kalmann have gotten himself tangled up in something far worse? Kalmann will not stop until he finds out what has happened.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish, I do hope we will see more of Kalmann in the future.  Thank you Anne at Random Things...
