Keep me Safe by Sheryl Browne

Keep me Safe

By 

Sheryl Browne 

About the Book

Our lies made us the perfect couple. But now our secrets will destroy us…

Alex and I have only been dating a few weeks, but already things are getting serious. With his dark hair and dark eyes, he’s my perfect match. And a real gentleman unlike my past relationships – he always treats me right: holding doors open, picking up the bill, and listening as I tell him everything about myself… Well, not everything. There are some things I must keep secret.

Alex believes we met by chance at a friend’s wedding, and I let him think that. I haven’t told him that I just came out of hospital, or that I met someone in there who shared his darkest secret. I know everything about him, but he knows nothing about the real me… Why I’m really here. And I need to keep it that way, or my plan will fall apart before it’s even begun.

The only problem is that I think someone’s on to me... I feel eyes on the back of my head as I leave the house where I live alone, but every time I turn around, no one is there. Is someone watching me? Or am I just being paranoid. I thought that this was the only path for me to be safe again, to keep my secrets buried forever, but maybe I’ve just walked into the biggest trap of all?

Fans of The Housemaid, The Perfect Marriage and Gone Girl will absolutely love Keep Me Safe.

Sheryl Browne is a great storyteller and this book is no exception.

Hidden Scars by Angela Marsons

 

Hidden Scars 

By 

Angela Marsons

About the Book 

The boy’s dark hair shone in the bright lights. His lips seemed about to speak. But his body was cold and his blue eyes would never open again.

When a nineteen-year-old boy, Jamie Mills, is found hanging from a tree in a local park, his death is ruled a suicide. Detective Kim Stone’s instincts tell her something isn’t right. Why, when his mother is told, does she not break down in tears? And how could Jamie have climbed the tree with a recent injury?

Kim should be easing back into work gently after a harrowing case left her body and mind broken, but quickly taking charge of her team, Kim is shocked to learn that Jamie’s parents had sent him to a clinic to ‘cure’ him of his sexuality.

The clues to smashing open this disturbing case lie behind the old Victorian walls of the clinic, run by the Gardner family. They claim that patients come of their own accord and are free to leave at any time. But why are those who attended the clinic so afraid to speak of what happens there? And where did the faded restraint marks on Jamie’s wrists come from?

Kim makes a further chilling discovery – the head of the clinic, Celia Gardner, was sent there for conversion therapy when she was sixteen.

Then the body of a young woman is found dead by suffocation, her death also staged to look like a suicide.

Scarred from a previous case that nearly took her life, can Kim unearth the dark secrets within the Gardner family and is she strong enough to stop a terrifying killer silencing the clinic’s previous patients one by one?

A compulsive page-turner that will have your heart hammering in your chest and leave you absolutely reeling when you discover the explosive final twist. If you’re a fan of Karin Slaughter, Val McDermid, and Robert Dugoni, you’ll love Hidden Scars.

My Thought

Without wanting to sound repetitive 

I love Angela Marsons
I love Kim Stone
I love this book! 

Book 17 in the series and I am still as excited about the series and the stories as I was on book one.

Kim is back but meant to be taking things easy…in true Kim style she’s back and diving straight in (even though she said she wasn’t going too).

Easy to read, fast paced and gripping.

The characters are well written and work so well together. I don’t want to give away any spoilers…just read the book.

MY REVIEW

Another fabulous read by Carol Wyer.

This book had me gripped from the first page and kept me gripped throughout.

People are dying and there doesn’t appear to be a link at all. DI Kate Young is up against it and find out who’s committing these crimes before more innocent people die. At the same time she’s dealing with her own personal issues.

I love this series Kate is a strong character with lots of issues herself that unfold with each book in the series.

A great read

My Review

The fifth book in the Maggie Jamieson and they are just getting better and better.

I’m really enjoying this series, easy to read, shortish chapters which keep a great pace and the book is gritty.

There’s a murderer out there but can Maggie find out who it is before anyone else dies. Her and her team work closely with different departments to get to the bottom of these crimes and it’s good to see the relationships and how they work together. Maggie is a strong character who I like.

Quite a dark story with parts that made me feel the pain.

The characters are really building now as we get to know more about them. I love this series and can’t wait for the next one.

About the Book

25 years ago he took a girl. Today he takes another.

One August afternoon, eight-year-old Grace Lennard skips into the garden of the childcare centre she attends and vanishes into thin air. Rushing to the scene of Grace’s disappearance, Detective Kim Stone finds a chilling piece of evidence: the engraved heart bracelet belonging to Melody Jones – the little girl who was taken from a playground exactly twenty-five years ago.

Hours before, Steven Harte had walked into Halesowen police station and confessed to having information that would lead Kim to Melody. And he told Kim she’d have a more urgent problem to deal with first. Now Kim must play Steven’s twisted game if she’s to find Grace alive.

With only twenty-four hours to make every second of Steven’s interrogation count, and scan his behaviour for hidden clues, Kim and her team soon link Steven to the abduction of several vulnerable girls – two were kept for a year and then released, unharmed – but where are Melody and the others?

Then small bones are discovered in the grounds of a local park, and Kim fears the worst.

Kim may think she’s close to convicting a killer, but the case is about to get even more complex. Steven is hiding one final explosive truth and he’s not the only one. Dr Alex Thorne – the evil woman Kim did her best to keep behind bars is about to reveal a shocking secret to Kim that will hit her where it hurts the most. Kim knows she must put aside her own demons to save Grace and find the other missing girls in time. But can Kim untangle Steven’s web before any more innocent lives are lost?

An edge-of-your-seat thriller that will leave your heart in your mouth. You will be totally hooked on the utterly addictive, number one, multi-million-copy bestselling Detective Kim Stone series.

My Review

Yes I’m going to say it again….Angela Marsons has done it again!! Produced yet another gripping Kim Stone book.

This is book 15 in the Kim Stone series and they never grow tiring or boring.

Melody Jones disappeared 25 years ago. Steven Harte turns up at the station and wants to talk to Kim, he has information about her….but the help is on his terms. 

Another girl disappears does Steven know anything about this too? 

Kim has her work cut out to try and see if there is a link between the missing children and getting this one back alive…can Steven Harte really help? Should she play his games? 

Then just as you think you can’t get anymore gripped…. Alex Thorne appears just to make Kim’s life a little bit more complicated.

Unputdownable, twists and turns that keep you

If Only by Angela Marsons

 

If Only

By 

Angela Marsons 

About the Book

I want Michael Hunter to fall so deeply in love with me that he can’t bear to be more than fifty feet away,” Cher declares to her best friends over cheesecake and wine. But what if she’s searching for happiness in the wrong place?

As Cher types up letters about overflowing rubbish bins in a job she hates, she dreams of Michael Hunter. He’s gorgeous, smart, funny and he’s about to become her new boss. But he barely looks at Cher except to ask for a coffee refill. How can she get him to notice she’s the perfect girl for him?

While Cher ignores the warning from workmate Dan that Michael is bad news, her friends have their own problems to fix. Sarah is longing to start a new life with a man who won’t commit, and bride-to-be Deb should be looking forward to her wedding, but her future mother-in-law is turning it into a nightmare from hell... If only her fiancé could see it that way.

So, when one summer evening, over several glasses of wine, Cher, Sarah and Deb stumble across an old book and decide to cast a wishing spell, they don’t think for one minute that it will come true. It’s just three best friends having a laugh and throwing some herbs around the garden. Or is it?

Totally unputdownable, absolutely full of laugh-out-loud ‘I’ve so done that’ moments, and plenty of emotional twists and turns that will keep you refilling your wine and racing through to the end. The perfect romantic comedy for fans of Shari Low and Sophie Kinsella.

My Review

Angela Marsons has gone rogue and written a RomCom and has shown she’s as good at writing those as she is at writing crime.

I love her Kim Stone series so wondered what this would be like but she’s done it again and written a winner!

If only is a fun story about three best friends who are all very different and all are wishing for something more from their lives….but be careful what you wish for.

An easy read that is funny and lighthearted. A perfect summer read.
