What a heartwarming, easy to read novel about a lady who moves to the country to make a go of her distant Aunts farm before she may or may not inherit it.
What follows is a tale of determination and hope with a bit of romance thrown in too.
It was funny in places, had a realistic feel and lovely language that really set the scene.
The characters were likeable and I really rooted for Fran throughout, the story had an easy pace that kept me interested and the plot had some good, solid turns that I enjoyed.
All in all a very chilled out novel.

Everything is Lies by Helen Callaghan
5*
I Really enjoyed this book about an independent woman returning home to visit her parents only to find something terrible has happened.
All is not what it seems and there are twists aplenty to keep you on your toes, I was dying to find out what happened next, couldn’t stop reading and the back and forth between then and now was a good trick to keep me immersed in the intriguing plot.
The characters were realistic and honest, the pace fast and unforgiving, I will definitely read more from this author.

Darkness Beneath by Keri Beevis
5*
This was the first book I have read of this Author and I wasn’t disappointed.
Full of twists, suspicion and edge of your seat scenes, I would recommend to all who love a tense crime story.
The plot is enthralling and fast paced with likeable characters and flowing language.
Will definitely read more from Keri Beevis.

Coming Home by Fern Britton
2*
This is first book I’ve read from this Author and I wasn’t keen.
Although well written, the plot was weak and unoriginal and not really believable, I mean why would a mother, no matter how young, leave her kids and helpful family and never come back? It just didn’t sit well with me.
The characters were bland, and I just couldn’t bring myself to care about them one way or the other, the brothers relationship sprung out of nowhere and once again seemed a bit unbelievable for some reason.
I don’t think I’ll be reading more from Fern Britton, wasn’t my taste at all.

My Mother, The Liar by Ann Troup
3*
Although this book had a decent storyline with quite a few twists and some good crime scenes, I just couldn’t bring myself to care much about the main characters. I did want to unravel the mystery but it wasn’t a very unexpected end and I was left feeling a bit deflated. That said it was quite well written, solid plot, steady pace with the odd unexpected happenings, making the characters more relatable would have gone a long way in my opinion. Worth a look.
Wolfhaven by Jay Shaw
4*
A shifter romance with a twist, this story was original, unexpected and easy to read.
The characters were likeable and engaging, Connell wasn’t a favourite of mine but I genuinely cared about what would become of Lena and Thayer, a couple for whose love went against what both their packs believed was right.
Well written with a good pace, this story kept me interested until the slightly unexpected end

The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert
3*
This was a very original tale, with a strange but enjoyable plot, creepy in places even.
The Hazel Wood is about a mother and daughter on the run from what they call the ‘Bad Luck’ which turns out to actually be something much more sinister.
Obsessed with fairytales, Alice comes to find that there are scarier versions of the much loved stories out there, to do with a place named The Hinterland.
Solidly written with a decent twist towards the end, The Hazel Wood was enjoyable, the pace although slow at times, kept me interested and I’d like to see what this author writes next.
