5 *****


This is a very new author to me and I’m pleasantly surprised. It was spectacular rollercoaster of a ride through a story with so many twists, turns and holes that your brain works overdrive in the ‘guess who’ department. And boy was it a fantastic story!

The characters - Maggie, Carol Anne, Angie, Kelly, Suzanne and Natasha - all close friends and confidantes, were brilliantly portrayed with explosive personalities. Each one had their hidden little secrets, I made it fun and exhilarating. 

The secondary characters were great too but the two cops - Kozlowski and O’Reilly - weren’t great. Though I had to keep remembering it was set back in time when cops weren’t fabulous pillars of the community and had harsh mouths and less brains, their way of working annoyed me to no end and wish they were better. 

One other thing that irked me throughout, that was the chapter would be written by one of the characters but in the chapter, whichever other character was in it, would switch to their speech and feelings and thoughts. I’m not sure if that was overlooked through editing or if for some reason is was deliberate, I don’t know. 

Overall, great story, fantastic characters and the ending, though a little bit OTT, it was interesting and revealing. I never saw it coming!!!

I’ll be definitely looking out for future books from this author because her writing style is intriguing and gripping. 

Bravo, Catherine O’Connell.

~*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 ...
