  • Moonlight Sonata

    By Eileen Merriman
    3 stars

    This is the first adult book of Eileen Merriman’s that I’ve read. A family get together over New Year, with plenty of family drama and secrets. I didn’t find the ending that believable, though.

  • Hidden Nature

    By Nora Roberts
    5 stars

    Another good book from Nora Roberts. A cop recovering from a shooting, brothers starting their contracting business, and seemingly random missing persons with no obvious connection. An enjoyable read.

  • Quiet in Her Bones

    By Nalini Singh
    5 stars

    A psychological thriller that left me guessing right till the end of the book! I knew the author wrote fantasy novels, but this is the first thriller I’ve come across. I want to read more of her books.

  • Whiskey Beach

    By Nora Roberts
    5 stars

    Another good mystery romance, Eli Landon’s life has fallen apart when he is blamed for his estranged wife’s murder. After an accident puts his grandmother in hospital, he moves up to the family home to look after it and write a book. I enjoyed this book, with all its mysterious happenings and a budding romance.

  • The Mistletoe Kisser

    By Lucy Score
    3 stars

    Light hearted comedy romance. It got a bit silly in places, but everything worked out okay at the end. Good light summer reading book.

  • Bullseye

    By David Baldacci
    5 stars

    A novella featuring the Camel Club members and Will Robie. Oliver Stone and Will Robie are caught up in a bank robbery that is more than it seems. A good short story featuring old favourite characters. Very enjoyable.

  • Onyx Storm

    By Rebecca Yarros
    5 stars

    Book 3 of the series, another edge of the seat fantasy. Plenty of twists and turns in Violet and Xaden’s relationship as they try to find the solution to defeating the venin and saving their continent. I’ve really enjoyed all three books in this series and look forward to when the next instalment is published.

  • The Surface Trials

    By HM Waugh
    4 stars

    The Maze Runner meets the Hunger Games in this YA book. Fast paced action where 100 contestants have to decipher clues and survive on a unknown planet, to make one of the 20 places for the Starquest Academy. I enjoyed this book and hope it's the first in a series.

  • The Hit

    By David Baldacci
    5 stars

    Book Two in the Will Robie series. Will is sent on a mission to track down a rogue CIA operative, but things are not as they seem. Traitors reach the highest levels of the government, and Will and Jessica can’t trust anyone. I really enjoyed this book and hope to read more in the series.

  • The Sun and the Star

    By Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro
    4 stars

    Set after The Trials of Apollo, Nico and Will set out on a quest into the Underworld to rescue Bob, the former Titan. A good adventure, and the first book in a new series. It does help to have read the other series to understand some of the references.

  • Iron Flame

    By Rebecca Yarros
    5 stars

    Book 2 in the series. Action packed fantasy with lots of twists and turns.

  • Framed in Death

    By J D Robb
    5 stars

    The 61st book in the 'In Death' series. Eve Dallas and her Homicide Unit are after a killer who is posing his victims from famous works of art. An unusual ending from previous books, but thoroughly enjoyable.
