Blog Tour (Review): Sister Dear by Hannah Mary McKinnon

This book had me running the gamut of emotions. I wasn’t sure who to trust at any given time, my loyalties to individual characters switched, and I was left feeling disturbed. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

The author did an admirable job of creating sympathy for Eleanor in the beginning. She had been beaten down by life (literally and physically), and she was losing the one person she could rely on…until she couldn’t anymore. I related to her early on, because her feelings about her father brought back memories of my dad’s illness. I could feel her pain.

I was fortunate, however, to not have a vile mother like Sylvia. It was easy to see why Eleanor was as insecure as she was. Both her mother and sister, Amy, were horrible people in general and specifically to Eleanor.

Eleanor finds out a secret that she isn’t meant to know, and at that point, I thought the book took an odd turn. I understand the point that desperate people can be led to do desperate things, but it felt a little off. I’m not sure why, but because Eleanor got a little dark, I felt less sympathy for her.

I don’t want to give away the rest of the book, because it all flowed well after that, and I found myself going back and forth between disliking Eleanor for her duplicity and feeling sorry for her because she obviously had severe issues that compelled her decisions.

I also don’t want to give away anything, because there are a few twists that I did not see coming. There were also a few I thought would happen and didn’t. I like it when an author can balance the tension like that. I did think that the middle was drawn out, and then an awful lot happened in the last quarter of the book. Some of it was even just described instead of actually occurring within the plot. There were some surprises, but I think I would have enjoyed the action of them instead of a description. (hope that makes sense).

In the end, I was left feeling…I’m not sure of the word? Empty, maybe. A little angry or disappointed that people can be so evil to each other? Psychopathy is real, and it is certainly exhibited in spades in this book. Human nature can be the most harmful of all forces.

Kudos to the author for creating memorable characters that left me feeling disturbed and unsettled. And very glad that I don’t have a sister (to my knowledge).

Books On Tour (Review): Why She Died by J.G. Roberts

In my review of What He Did, the second book in the Detective Rachel Hart series, I said, “The subplot of Rachel’s personal life fit into the plot neatly, which isn’t always the case. Although, I do think that there is more to be revealed in future books if the ending is any clue.” I didn’t know the half of it!

Amazon: https://bit.ly/2z8Hph1 Apple: https://apple.co/2LOHYze
Kobo: https://bit.ly/2TrLeVl Google: https://bit.ly/3cSCkYL

The book starts with a perfectly normal, albeit sad, investigation, and it doesn’t take long before Rachel and her coworkers are chasing down clues trying to find a murderer. The investigation is well-plotted and takes turns that are to be expected (i.e., suspects of interest). The author did a good job of making some of the characters’ motivations questionable so it wasn’t easy to figure who was telling the truth and who had something to hide.

As with the last book, Rachel’s personal life is intertwined with this case. In fact, it seemed like there was almost more focus on Rachel’s state of mind concerning her sister, which led to some scenes that seemed unprofessional and out of character for Rachel. I suppose they were necessary, given how it all turned out, though.

I did like how she seemed to be mentoring the younger members of her unit, reminding them not to assume things and coaching them on how to react to the behaviors of others. It’s all advice she could have taken herself as well. I also liked how Graham stepped up and took control. I hope to see more of that as Rachel sorts herself out.

And boy, does she have to do that. Even though everything seemed relatively routine, about ¾ of the way through, it all just kicks off. The last part of the book just flew by with revelations, confessions, and reveals that left my jaw on the floor. It took a turn and went gonzo (but in a really good way).

I’m not saying any more than that; you’ll have to read it for yourself. You really should check out this series while it’s still near the beginning. At this point, it is better to read the previous books so you have the full backstory. I think that’s going to be necessary going forward.

Oh, and (by the way), the title is awesome, because the answer is not exactly straightforward 😉

Author Bio:
Having signed with Bookouture in late 2018, my first book with them, Little Girl Missing, was published in June 2019 followed by the second in the Detective Rachel Hart series in October of the same year. The third book in the series, my seventh novel overall, is called Why She Died and is on pre-order prior to publication in May 2020.

I’m originally from Nottingham, where I have based a couple of my novels, but I am now resident in Berkshire and have used Reading and the surrounding area as the location for the DCI Rachel Hart series. From the age of ten I had wanted to write fiction but left it until I was fifty-seven before self-publishing my first novel, Life’s a Beach and Then, proving it’s never too late to start something new.

When I’m not writing, I am a full-time presenter on QVC, the UK’s most successful shopping channel where I have worked for over twenty-six years. I also enjoy cooking, watching football, in particular my team Crystal Palace, gardening, and Pilates which is helping with my rehabilitation following recent ankle surgery. I’m an animal lover and a committed vegetarian for the past thirty-five years.

Books On Tour (Review): Buried Angels by Patricia Gibney

Lottie Parker just keeps getting better. After some big revelations in book 7, I was wondering what could happen next.

Amazon: https://bit.ly/2zTH9T3 Apple: https://apple.co/2Zjp2Am
Kobo: https://bit.ly/2Xgk0C6 Google: https://bit.ly/2ZniMYG

Suffice to say that this is one of the most convoluted investigations that Lottie and her team has faced. There are old crimes, new crimes, a virtual spiderweb of characters…and somehow it all works as a cohesive and page-turning story.

One of the things this author excels at it introducing characters who seem to have no connection to each other and disparate lives or plot arcs. However, during the investigation, links are found. Sometimes the characters know about them and sometimes they’re surprised as well. And nobody is every superfluous, even seemingly secondary characters.

Ms. Gibney also does a fine job of plotting the suspense so that it ebbs and flows. Some crime novels build until a big reveal, and that’s just fine too. But Lottie’s investigations always seem to have more than a few “big” moments, and then the action continues until the next moment. I like that push and pull in a book because it keeps it from potentially being monotonous.

I will say that this plot had a few aspects that might be troubling to some readers. Aside from child victims, there’s also domestic abuse and neglect. Nothing is overly graphic but seemed natural to the characters. I thought they were vital to the story and, therefore, did not bother me, but more sensitive readers may have a different view.

As I said at the outset, at this point, the plots are more intricate, and Lottie still stays on top. I can’t wait to see what’s in store next.

Author Bio:
Patricia is the million-copy bestselling author of the DI Lottie Parker series. She yearned to be a writer after reading Enid Blyton and Carolyn Keene and even wanted to be Nancy Drew when she grew up. She has now grown up (she thinks) but the closest she’s come to Nancy Drew is writing crime!

In 2009, after her husband died, she retired from her job and started writing seriously. Fascinated by people and their quirky characteristics, she always carries a notebook to scribble down observations.

Patricia also loves to paint in watercolour and lives in the Irish midlands with her children.

What Only We Know by Catherine Hokin

Captivating. Compelling. Creative. Crushing.

Truly unforgettable.

This one will stay with me for a very long time.

I know that it is sort of backward to say that at the beginning of the review, but I can’t begin to explain how impactful this book was. The author has woven an incredible story that covers not one but two significant historical periods, and it is told with compassion and a deep understanding of humanity.

Amazon: https://bit.ly/3e1ofIy Apple: https://apple.co/3e28r8h
Kobo: https://bit.ly/2zWwXZK Google: https://bit.ly/36f8RWt

Right from the start in the prologue, set in 1971, it is apparent that there is a detailed story to be told. We then jump to Berlin, 1936. Anyone who knows even a little bit about history knows why this year is important, especially as it relates to WWII. The setting for Leise and Michael to have their first notable argument was also appropriate because it clearly outlined their perspectives.

I loved the unique setting of the fashion house, or salon, for the first part of the book. By utilizing a very international business, the author was able to highlight just how far-reaching the sanctions in Germany became, and how quickly they changed. I particularly liked the details, such as Paul urging Leise to identify the scents in the air. It was a moment of joy and beauty that belied the horrors growing in the city.

Once we meet Karen in the more contemporary timeline of 1971, the reader can start to draw some connections. However, the author does an admirable job of building Karen’s identity. I don’t want to give away plot points, but her experiences as an 11-year-old shape her reactions all the way to the very last pages.

It is difficult to put into words how well the author weaves both the WWII storyline and the 1970s storyline together. Suffice to say that in other books with dual storylines, I often find myself wanting to get back to one or the other. In this book, I was equally eager for both, especially later, when Karen was older.

Side note: her first entry into Berlin brought back strong memories. My parents and I went to Germany in 1983, and our experience going through Checkpoint Charlie was very similar to Karen’s. We were on a tour bus with a class of high school students, and their teachers had to reprimand them, reminding them of the rules for when the soldiers came on to check passports. It is a trip I will never forget, and Karen’s experience brought it all back.

But now, back to the review. By the time Kristallnacht occurs, Liese’s life turns upside down, inside out, and sideways. She is a formidable character, even as a teenager. I think that is what makes her character arc so compelling because, through her, we see how very simple it was for the Nazis to break even the strongest of people.

I appreciated that the author didn’t feel the need to wrap up people’s stories. Sometimes they just…disappeared. It was another stark reminder of how life was at that time. People came and went, and some were never to be seen again.

I’m starting to ramble now, and I’m not even halfway through the book! I will leave it that Liese’s life goes from bad to worse, and her actions suddenly become much more understandable. Karen also “grows up” when she finally realizes the truth of her mother’s story.

And that whole truth is about as gut-wrenching as anything I have ever read.

The reveal and reconciliation take place in the shadow of the Berlin Wall and stretches into 1989. Again, if you know anything about history, you see the significance. And this section of reconciliation was almost as powerful and moving as Liese’s story from WWII.

It’s a tremendous balancing act that the author accomplishes with aplomb. Straight to the top of my list for this year. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Books On Tour (Review): Her Darkest Hour by Sharon Maas

I’ve mentioned several times that I enjoy historical novels for a few reasons. One, I’m just a big history buff; and two, I like learning new things. Even if I know the overall theme, there’s usually some nugget of previously unknown information to be found.

Amazon: https://bit.ly/2X1lW1l Apple Books: https://apple.co/35ZGKdA
Kobo: https://bit.ly/2zEYnU5 Google Play: https://bit.ly/361JE1q

In the case of Her Darkest Hour, I knew that the Germans had invaded France and had taken control of most regions, but I did not remember (based on previous studies) the extent to which they turned everything German. And I did not know that they actually built a camp in France. That was very revealing and educational (and I love that).

As to the plot in general, it was somewhat unique among many WWII historical fiction novels in that there was one time period; there wasn’t a contemporary and flashback. That made it easier to follow each of the girls’ stories.

I liked that the families in question were established wine-makers. Their standing in the town made the decisions of the individual members more intriguing. I was a little confused by the family relations at the beginning, but I got them straightened out. I felt a little better about that later in the book when I found out just why everything seemed confusing.

I thought the author did a pretty good job of embodying the spirits of the French people during the Occupation by giving each of the girls (Juliette, Victoire, and Marie-Claire) different perspectives and attitudes. I do wish there had been more of Juliette; I thought that the novel would be more between the three girls. But her story just sort of disappeared for quite a while.

There was certainly plenty else to focus on, and I found Marie-Claire’s story to be indicative of what many women had to deal with when it came to the Germans who took over. I thought that Jacques’ evaluation of her to be accurate, as she never quite reached her potential and made some poor choices that seemed to be based on trying to make herself feel better. She did not seem to be very deep and ended up reaping what she had sown. I can’t say I’m too sorry about that, honestly.

I did think that the build-up took up most of the book, and then a LOT of events happened in the last quarter of the story. Characters came and went, secrets were revealed, and time sped up. Once the story reached early 1942, events went by at rocket speed, with some only receiving a quick mention.

I understand the importance of laying the background, but I wish that it had been a bit more balanced. The events at the end were quite exciting, as were the actions of the girls, and I would have liked more detail of those.  I also felt that a few of the stories were left unfinished or up in the air. It was almost like the author had to wrap it up quickly.

But that didn’t detract from what I learned about the depth of German infiltration into French society (Mein Kampf and German names?!?). It also confirmed that their brand of tyranny and power should never again be allowed to see the light of day.

Post Script: I wasn’t going to add this, but I strongly feel that it needs to be mentioned. It concerns the scene where the Nazis arrived at the chateau and informed Margaux that her livestock, property, and anything she produced belonged to the state. I read that section late at night.

The next morning I woke up to a headline in the news. A legislator in Illinois had proposed legislation that would give the governor the power to confiscate livestock, food, property, clothing, etc. For no other reason except for that he could do so.

I cried.

It was a stark reminder that this type of history should NEVER be repeated. No. Matter. What.

Blog Tour (Review): The Best Man by A.S. Kelly

Everybody has favorite authors and look forward to their series, but sometimes it’s fun to find new authors and new places to explore. This is the case with Connemara in The Best Man.

The action starts with a bang as Alex interrupts his best friend’s wedding for, shall we say, personal reasons. From there, we get a long and winding story as Alex and Ellie try to find their way to each other as the pressures of their choices complicate things.

The story does is not rushed. There are a lot of internal monologues and even more angst on both parts. These are interspersed with scenes that could only be set in Ireland. I almost enjoyed the secondary characters more than the main ones, especially Ellie’s brothers.

I liked the setting. I could picture the towns and townspeople; the author made Ireland come alive. I also thought the business that Alex and Ellie worked in was creative – who doesn’t like a good Irish whiskey?

I did think that there were passages that seemed to go on a bit too long. It was almost like the author was trying to meet a word count instead of just getting to the point. However, when I looked at the front of the book, I saw that it was a translation; the wordiness makes a lot more sense in that context.

I do wish that I had seen that before I started reading because it certainly would have changed my mindset. That’s totally my fault. But now I know that for the next book. I am looking forward to it because it was a neat little place to visit. It was also pleasant to take time with a book instead of being rushed through it.

Books On Tour (Review): Little Whispers by K. L. Slater

In my opinion, good psychological thrillers lay a groundwork of “normality,” drop a few hints here and there to let the reader know that all is not as it seems, and then start unraveling everything building to what I call “the big reveal.” I’m happy to say that this book mostly succeeds in the formula.

Amazon: https://bit.ly/3cKxlJm Apple books: https://apple.co/2zI94VP
Kobo: https://bit.ly/2X5gZod Google Play:  https://bit.ly/3670IDm

Right from the start, we know that there is some dark secret that Janey’s mom confesses to her from her death bed. It takes a long time to find out what that actual secret is, but there are clues dropped in the form of a few flashback chapters, as well as in Janey’s own memories. As the past takes shape, the question becomes how it fits into the main plot. And that’s where it gets a tad foggy.

I enjoyed the main thrust of the story. I could relate to Janey and how she felt moving to a new area where she didn’t fit in. With her mom’s recent death still fresh, her young son having to adjust, and a husband who had pushed it all to happen quickly, Janey had a lot going on. Safe to say that nothing is as it seems throughout it all.

Which of the Buckingham Crescent mummies is lying? Which is hiding something? Can any of them be trusted? And why is Janey’s husband Isaac being so cagey about everything? And really, what DOES the deathbed secret have to do with it all?

There are quite a few twists and turns along the way. The author does a good job of tying everything up by the end, and I was satisfied with the resolution. I did think that the first half was a tad drawn out; I kept waiting for something “bigger” to happen. But once the flashback chapters entered into the narrative, things took off at a rapid pace, and it was a page-turner for the rest of the book.

There were still a few stumbles. Janey’s behavior at school towards a student was shocking. Even in the face of what she was dealing with, it seemed very out of character (not to mention that she would have been out on her butt in a heartbeat regardless of the reason in most schools).

That, and I thought Rowan got a little left behind in the whole story as one of his actions was out of character, but then sort of glossed over. They didn’t distract me from the story (well, Janey’s kind of did), because the rest of the action was still swirling.

I also thought that the “big reveal” was good, but because of how it functioned within the main plot, I wish that there had been a bit more revelation earlier. As it stood, it seemed a little manipulative. Which now that I think about it, is precisely how it was used: to manipulate a situation.  So maybe that’s all okay then.

On a side note, I thought that the commentary on social standing and the importance of money was interesting and accurate. The author excelled at truly illustrating how money is at the root of all evil. I’ll leave it at that. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it for summer reading.

Books On Tour (Review): The Bride by Wendy Clarke

This book was nothing that I thought it was going to be. That’s a good thing. It was a quintessential psychological thriller. I liked how the book read sort of like it was in three acts.

Amazon: https://geni.us/B0859CD6MZSocial Apple: https://apple.co/2Tum0Vv
Kobo: http://bit.ly/2VBcCSE Google: http://bit.ly/2Tif3rX

The first act established Alice’s character and made it very clear that she was someone on the ropes who was reaching for a lifeline. Act two was Alice’s experiences in the apartment once she arrived. And act three…well, the less said, the more exciting it will be for you when you read it. So I’ll just say that it takes everything you learn in the first two acts and completely twists it.

I thought the prologue was smart; even though it was clear whose memory it was, I still found myself questioning what I knew the further I read. I had to go back and read it a few times to make sure that I still understood it correctly.

The author did a fantastic job of creating doubt throughout the plot as well. At any given time, I wasn’t sure which character to trust and whose motivations to believe. I love it when an author can keep me guessing like that.

I did think that there were a few things in “act one” that seemed superfluous the further I read. I know that they were instrumental in driving Alice to make the decisions that she did, but they seemed a little manipulative because once she arrived at the apartment, they just sort of disappeared. That being said, I also get that it was vital to the plot that she had that break. I felt the same about a couple of other secondary characters; they played small parts, but ultimately only served as pawns.

The atmosphere created by the author was the most striking aspect of this book. I loved how she created a claustrophobic feeling even though the actual locations were anything but enclosed. I also like how she used the ships coming and going on the river to illustrate that life was continuing outside even as Alice became more focused inward. That was a compelling juxtaposition.

As I mentioned above, the first two acts really just lay the groundwork for the third. Once you hit that point (and you’ll know what it is when you get to it) hang on, because it gets even twistier. Oh, and the author also resisted the usual “everything is resolved” ending. But I won’t say more.  It was a page-turning read that I tore through in one sitting; it is definitely one to pick up!

Books On Tour (Review): As Greek as it Gets by Sue Roberts

Among all of the psych thrillers and crime procedurals, it’s lovely to find a book that offers pure escapism, and a sunny vacation in Crete fits the bill perfectly.

Amazon: https://bit.ly/2SR9fos Apple Books: https://apple.co/3blKpDB
Kobo: https://bit.ly/3fDKlCz Google Play: https://bit.ly/35ROWwh

One of the things I liked the most about this book was that it was as light and airy as being on a Greek island. I know that sounds kind of odd, but the story just kind of rolls along smoothly. I don’t know if you can read in a relaxing manner, but that’s how I felt with this book.

The characters were likable (except for Alice’s mom; she was a pill). There were times that I thought that Max was too good to be true, and I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. I won’t tell you if it did or not, but let’s just say that this book reaffirmed that not all male characters have to be jerks.

That’s not to say that he didn’t have his moments. He was a strong personality who practically leaped off the page. Alice was quite the opposite. But I loved this pairing because he was money-minded and a planner, and she was artistic and more go-with-the-flow. Opposites really do attract.

I don’t want to say any more about the plot, because I think it should be experienced. But I enjoyed how both Alice and Max resolved their issues by the end of the story. I felt that their actions and reactions were natural. Nothing felt forced. It all just felt real.

The author did a fantastic job of creating the atmosphere and conveying the beauty of Greece. I could almost feel the sun and see the beautiful blues of the ocean. I always want to go back, but this book made me really want to be able to visit there again. Since travel is impossible for the foreseeable future, I look forward to being able to revisit Greece in the author’s new book. I hope it’s soon!

Books on Tour (Review): Winter Rising by Alex Callister

If you thought the first book was action-packed, you ain’t seen nothing yet! The author pretty much picks up where Winter Dark left off and keeps the high-octane plot going.

This time, Winter and other members of GCHQ are after a notorious hitman, the Guardsman. But is Winter off her game after her close encounter with Alek Konstantin? She certainly can’t shake him from her thoughts even as she knows he could be manipulating everything while on the run.

The author does a fantastic job of not letting up on the action, even in the “quiet” moments. There is always a feeling of…not exactly dread…but more of that you just know something big could happen at any second. To me, that’s the very definition of a page-turner.

I liked how Winter has become a more “full” character. She seemed to have more depth this time around. I loved her interactions with members of the CIA and her own team. I especially enjoyed her “mentorship” of Leon and Xiu. I think it made Winter realize a side of her personality she didn’t know she had.

That being said, she is still her caustic, cautious self. I enjoy reading about her messing with people because they never know if she is serious or not (the “Coming to America” reference comes to mind). She keeps people off-balance naturally, which is almost like a suit of protection for her.

As for the Konstantin, he is like a looming specter in both Winter’s mind and the overall plot. He is enigmatic (and apparently charismatic) which makes it difficult to decide whether to hate him for his evilness or appreciate his deceit.

I also thought it was fascinating and a little disconcerting to read about a world in chaos. There’s a different reason for it in the book (obviously), but the current global situation gave an added layer of tension. It’s not that much of a reach to think of looming possibilities. (That’s a tad bit dramatic, but the emotion is definitely there.

I’m pretty sure that I didn’t breathe much through the last third of the book. But that’s okay because now I’m primed for the next one!
