The Family Upstairs - Lisa Jewell

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.

Innocence and Deception - Toni Bolton

Today is my stop on the blog for 'Innocence and Deception' by the magnificent Toni Bolton. I couldn't put this book down, although this book is part of a series I thought it read really well ad a standalone too. A thrilling, fast paced read that will keep you turning the pages fast and faster to find the answers! Charlotte has been wrong accused of murder...or has she?! And FBI agent Mike Collins will stop at nothing to get to the truth. I thought the title of the book fitted the story perfectly! I loved the concept of it being a part crime/thriller read and part romance....I definitely want to pick the rest of the series up now and read from start to finish! Definitely a 5* read....its wonderfully refreshing to read something original! Thank you very much to Anne at Random Things Tours for organising another superb blog tour.

The Family Man - Kimberley Chambers

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

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 Tours for l
