5 *****



This is the first book I’ve had the pleasure of reading from this author and I’m over the moon that I’ve once again taken a chance on a new author (to me!) and for it paying off immensely. Was a very intense read!


The characters were well thought out and brilliantly portrayed. I loved Harper and her stubbornness (it wasn’t OTT stubborn like a lot of authors write). Her personality, her persistence, is admirable. She doesn’t stop until she gets what she wants, until she can tell the whole story. And boy, did she uncover a ton of dirt!? I thought Luke was a bit of a douche-canoe but I’m going to go back and read the previous books so I can get a better idea of their previous relationship. 



I’m devastated that this ended with a cliffhanger, even though it was a beautiful ending, it wasn’t an ending at all but - a BIG ‘but’ - it was done tastefully; it leaves the reader hanging but also makes us think and ask/answer our own questions until the next book hits the shops. 



The storyline was absolutely incredible! The twists, the turns, were perfectly put together and executed, the investigation by Harper was so easy to follow that it made for an entertaining and joyous, though tense, read. I loved that is NEW readers get an insight into the previous books and that this one itself can be read as a standalone. 



This authors penmanship was beautiful and definitely draws the readers in from the first word and right to the final one too. This author KNOWS how to hook a reader then spit them out to wait for the next one. Not many Crime authors can pull it off anymore but this one most definitely does. 



Incredible, edge-of-your-dear worthy ready. Highly recommended to crime investigation readers. For fans of Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs and Karin Slaughter.

~*BOOK REVIEW*~ Little White Lies by Philippa East Add to Goodreads TBR: http://bit.ly/2qdiqVj Pre-order Links: RELEASING February 4, 2020! Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2r1JV44 Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/2D0mBWZ 5 ***** This book has to be my second most favourite book I've ever read. It's incredibly insightful and cleverly put together. This author knows how to keep her readers hooked to every word, every page and every detail. My mind has officially been blown with this psychological thriller. And it's definitely one I recommend if you love twists and turns, cleverness and tenseness. This story has it ALL. Anne, Abigail, Jess, Lillian, Robert, Fraser, Preston, Laurie & Sam, were all FANTASTIC characters. Preston wasn't mentioned so much, but as Abigail's father, I thought to include him in the list. Laurie & Sam too, Abigail's little twin brothers because they had a small impact later in the book. Abi...

Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2E6OUUZ Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/30hFzmE 3 *** This was a great step up from the last book I read from this author, but still no where near his best. I know he can produce phenomenal stories.. this isn’t one of them. Though the last quarter of the book was gripping, exciting and in a way, fun.  I liked Colter Shaw, but I didn’t like the fact that he never smiled, he was cold as hell (when he should be a bit friendlier to certain people) and little dense. Maddie’s character though, urgh, what a drab. I didn’t like her personality and she was way too strong.  But Standish made a fabulous character. Absolutely adored her work ethics and her personality. She was the best character throughout.  The storyline was a good one, though this author likes to jump from scene to ...
