by Christina McDonald January 9, 2018 0 comments

I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is still one of my favourite books with the twistiest twist I have ever read. You truly won’t see coming. I had to read it a few times to be sure it was true! Absolutely loved this book! The story opens…

Last Seen Alive - Claire Douglas

by Christina McDonald January 9, 2018 0 comments

Last Seen Alive by Claire Douglas My rating: 5 of 5 stars It starts as a lesson in ‘if it looks to good to be true, it is,’ and builds suspense until a fantastic twist a little after midway through. Loads of surprises along the way, a well-meshed plot, fantastic characters, this was a completely…

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson My rating: 5 of 5 stars Mikael Blomkvist, a disgraced financial journalist, and computer hacker Lisbeth Salander investigate the disappearance of Harriet Vanger 40 years ago.

Don't Close Your Eyes - Holly Seddon

by Christina McDonald January 9, 2018 0 comments

Don’t Close Your Eyes by Holly Seddon My rating: 5 of 5 stars Holly Seddon is great at writing believable, relatable characters. I found Don’t Close Your Eyes completely different from her first book. It’s more a domestic suspense with themes on betrayal, guilt and mental health than a psychological thriller, but that being said,…

The letters are from her mother – all the things she wasn’t able to say to her daughter before she died. The premise was intriguing and I loved the idea…

I See You - Clare Mackintosh

by Christina McDonald January 9, 2018 0 comments

I See You by Clare Mackintosh My rating: 5 of 5 stars Every second book inevitably gets compared to the first, and I See You is no exception. I Let You Go was one of my favorite books ever, so of course this book isn’t quite on that same level to me – but that…
