So stay tuned for these book reviews soon!
Feel the sun on your face on a Somerset terrace overlooking golden fields and wild meadowland, and watch as romance beckons and long-hidden secrets are revealed…
When twenty-seven-year-old Posy arrives at picture-perfect Oleander House in the Somerset village of Astercombe, she is enchanted. Adopted when she was just a baby, Posy is excited to re-connect with her birth family and help out on the family cider farm with its old stone walls and bees buzzing in the hedgerows.
There’s just one tiny problem – her new next-door neighbour, haughty, handsome vineyard-owner Lachlan. Lachlan has taken an instant dislike to Posy, and after a furious argument when she ventures on his land, she’s pretty certain there’s not a heart of gold beneath his frosty exterior.
Yet as she falls in love with the flower-filled hedgerows and apple-green fields of her new life, she discovers more about her grumpy neighbour. Even though he acts like the world is out to get him, she can’t ignore the sad expression in his dark eyes.
And when Posy discovers the heartbreaking secret that is tearing Lachlan apart, she understands why he has shut the door on the world and vows to help him, as well as the vineyard, which has fallen on hard times. Yet just as Lachlan lets Posy in, a terrible night threatens to destroy everything she has begun to care about and puts someone she loves at risk. Will her dream life in the country come at an awful price?

First of all, I love all Tilly Tennant’s book covers–they are so pretty and have a way of attracting the reader to the book! And I have always been a huge fan of her books so I was super excited when I got a chance to review this ARC.
Posy finds out about her birth mother and then sets off to the countryside in Somerset to meet her biological uncles–Giles and his wife Sandra and Asa who want to get to know her. They all own apple orchards and make cider from them. While in the countryside, she accidentally meets Lachlan who was swimming naked in the lake in his own vineyard when she accidentally walks into it. The two initially didn’t get along together and hated each other and slowly, Posy and Asa becomes closer and she and Lachlan too gets closer…
First of all, I like the descriptions of the countryside that makes me imagine myself being in the country side in the apple orchard. Posy the main character to me is a likable character and I do like how she was friendly and warm and soon get along with her uncle, Asa. Many of the characters, including Lachlan to me are likable so that’s a good sign to me. The descriptions of vineyard and the countryside makes you feel like you are actually enjoying the countryside with the characters. However, even though the story was good, there were some parts that was a bit boring and I thought the side romance with Jackson and Posy was a bit unnecessary.
Overall, unlike her previous book, this book was an OK book though I enjoyed reading about the countryside and the plot. Worth three stars!
Tilly Tennant was born in Dorset, the oldest of four children, but now lives in Staffordshire with a family of her own. After years of dismal and disastrous jobs, including paper plate stacking, shop girl, newspaper promotions and waitressing (she never could carry a bowl of soup without spilling a bit), she decided to indulge her passion for the written word by embarking on a degree in English and creative writing, graduating in 2009 with first class honours. She wrote her first novel in 2007 during her first summer break at university and has not stopped writing since. She also works as a freelance fiction editor, and considers herself very lucky that this enables her to read many wonderful books before the rest of the world gets them.
Tilly is represented by the wonderful, gorgeous Peta Nightingale at LAW.

A new couple moves in next door.
And nothing will ever be the same again…
I watched you move in and thought we might be friends.
I saw you watching from the window – and knew I’d have to keep you away from my husband.
I started to trust you. Confide in you.
I started to mistrust you. Suspect you.

This book was an interesting thriller book to me. A couple moves to a house next to your house. Jade is suspicious of her husband Tomas and thinks he is having an affair with Emma, who is a dentist. Meanwhile, Emma is in a relationship with Alastair, a forensic pathologist. Emma lives across from Jade’s house and then their lives start to change.
The chapters were short which made it easier for me to read and so I was able to finish this book fast, thus good for quick read. There were twists and turns in the book. Jade seems to be a complicated character but later on in the book we find Emma more complicated. The story is told from the perspectives of Jade, Emma and Alastair and so you could get to know what each of the character thinks, coupled with a past taunting event that made Emma vulnerable. Overall, this was a good fast paced thriller with the drama happening between these two couples.
Worth four stars!

![Small Town Secrets: A heartwarming and uplifting women’s fiction novel (Fortune Springs) by [Alys Murray]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51WuZbKBXHL.jpg)
“Young women needed for the Fortune Springs Town Improvement Initiative. One year’s room and board provided.”
I should have known it was too good to be true when I first saw the ad. It turns out that Fortune Springs, Colorado isn’t just a one-horse town, it’s a two-woman one, and this is their attempt to keep the community alive. I want to say the scheme is ridiculous, totally outdated, but I’m carrying everything I own in my canvas backpack and the greyhound I stepped off this morning is long gone. If this is my chance at a fresh start, I’d better grab it with both hands.
I know I should feel guilty about pretending to be a lonely heart willing to help repopulate this rural logging town, but all I feel is relief at having escaped the apartment in Savannah. And after all, what’s one more secret to add to the pile? I only hope I’ve hidden my tracks well enough, and that the kind Fortune Springs locals who’ve opened their doors to me will never find out what made me run away in the first place…
An emotional, gripping story full of family drama. Fans of Carolyn Brown, Robyn Carr and Debbie Macomber will be hooked.

“Young women needed for the Fortune Springs Town Improvement Initiative. One year’s room and board provided.”
That’s how the story starts with Virginia Bessel moving into Fortune Springs to start a new life. She befriends Calla and her granddaughter, Willa and lives with them in the Bride House. Then she meets a handsome firefighter, Owen–initially, they first didn’t get along and soon sparks start flying between them…
I had enjoyed reading Alys Murray’s books and so I was excited to read this one. Like all her book, this story was engaging and also actually easy to read and quick to read as well. The characters to me are all likable, particularly I like little Willa and how Virginia quickly becomes friends with Willa. This was actually more like a Hallmark movie with Virginia leaving behind bad memories and wanting to start a new life in Fortune Springs, Colorado and then meeting a handsome man and falling in love with him.
Overall, to me, this wasn’t a bad book–it was good. The story was nothing new but nonetheless, I enjoyed reading this book and read in one go. Worth four stars in my opinion!
Alys Murray writes novels for the romantic in all of us. Born and raised in New Orleans, she received her BFA from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and her Master’s in Film Studies from King’s College London. She loves black and white movies, baseball games that go into extra innings, and reminding people like Michael Bay has two films in The Criterion Collection.

I love watching horror movies and so I was thrilled when I got a chance to read a horror book!
Jessica gets a new job as a nurse in an asylum called Redwood Asylum for criminally insane. On the second day of her work, she comes across a man in 5B who has been locked for years and who latches on Jessica in an unsettling way. And soon, Jessica is haunted by some children and she is determined to find secrets at the asylum…
To my utter surprise, this story was actually good! The writing was great and it was actually as if I was watching a horror movies. We know that the main character Jessica is somewhat an unreliable, dysfunctional character with something to hide to work in a place like Redwood Asylum. I was so engrossed into the book that I didn’t even realize until I came to the end that I have finished the book! It was really good! It was engaging, and at times, there were some horror in the book as expected. The ending was somewhat unexpected, as you are rooting to the main character, wondering what will happen to the main character soon.
I really enjoyed this book–an unputdownable horror book worth five stars!

Kate is still trying to get on with her son’s death, Michael, who died six years ago in a drowning accident. When Kate’s mother gets sick, Kate moves to her mother’s house and discovers a diary written by Michael. Then she discovers a deep dark secret in her own son’s diary that Kate suspects that her son’s death is more than just an accident.
This was actually a good book with a good plot. The emotions Kate is going through as a mother is real and raw. The characters are good, as the story is told from the perspective of Kate. I was actually glued to the story, wanting to know, who this Diving Fish really is and I couldn’t wait to read the ending. The author did a good job getting the reader hooked into the story! This was also quite unputdownable. There were no surprising twists or turns but nonetheless, it was actually a good thriller book. I also like how Kate would do anything, to find the real identity of who the Diving Fish, who supposedly had a relationship with Michael, even bribing a girl. It was intense, particularly the ending. I was holding my breath as I read the story. The only problem was, the story was a bit predictable and there were some unnecessary side story that was irrelevant to the story. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this book.
Thank you Netgalley and Avon publishers for granting me this ARC. This review is based on my honest opinion. Worth four stars!

After reading The Wives by Tarryn Fisher, I immediately wanted to read her books and was thrilled when I did get a chance to access the audiobook of her second book, The Wrong Family.
Did I expect the similar hype I found in the Wives? I did. Did this book disappoint me? Sadly yes.
If you have read my review on the Wives, I truly enjoyed reading the book as it was filled with twists, drama and turns and an ending that was totally unexpected. So I did expect the similar plot with her second book as well. Unfortunately, I did not.
Juno, a former therapist is homeless and is living in the basement of a house of Crouch family–Winnie, Nigel and their son Samuel. Then Juno discovers a deep dark secret that would actually ruin the story.
The plot was good, but was a bit unrealistic to me. The ending was filled with drama that I felt like I was watching some crime show on TV!!! The story is based on perspectives of Winnie and Juno so you know what the two characters are going through and thinking about. The characters are boring to me, plot also seemed to get boring except towards the end and overall, I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed her other book, The Wives.
Overall, I rate this book as two stars!

As Clem gets used to the life of countryside, she soon develops friendship with Otto and then stumble a secret she found in the attic.
This was actually an OK romantic book to me. First of all, I really liked the cover–the book cover is so cute and pretty that whoever designed the book did a good job attracting the reader. However, I wasn’t that much into the story. There were some funny parts but then I felt it was a bit boring to me. However, I did like the ending a bit, how Clem and Otto develop their friendship with each other and a developing romance between Clem and Rory. The writing was OK.
Overall this book worth three stars.

![Not Without My Sister: A compelling and heartbreaking WW2 historical novel by [Marion Kummerow]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41GBJivaahL.jpg)
1944, Germany. Two sisters seek to overcome impossible odds to be reunited, in this utterly devastating and unforgettable novel about sisterhood, courage and survival.
All they had left was each other. Until the Nazis tore them apart.
After years of hiding from the Nazis, Rachel Epstein and her little sister Mindel are captured by the Gestapo and sent to the concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen. The only ray of light for either girl is that they are together.
But on arrival they are separated. As she’s seventeen and deemed an adult, Rachel is sent to work in a brutal factory whilst four-year-old Mindel is sent into the so-called “star” camp for Jewish prisoners. All on her own, Rachel knows her sister will have no chance of survival—unless she can find someone to take care of her.
Working in the windowless, airless factory—filling munitions casings with chemicals that burn her fingers and make her eyes sting—the only thing that keeps Rachel going is the thought of her little sister. Because if there’s even a chance Mindel is alive, Rachel knows she must try to save her.
But, separated by barbed wire, and treated brutally by SS guards who do not even see them as human beings, can either of the orphaned sisters ever dare to hope that they’ll find their way back to each other? And to freedom?
A completely heartbreaking, utterly gripping tale of courage, loss and overcoming impossible odds, perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Ragged Edge of Night and The Orphan’s Tale.

Any book related to Holocaust or WWII I would most certainly jump at the opportunity to read that book. And this is such book. Though the characters are fictional, the events that happened in this book is real.
It’s 1944, in a small village in Bavaria, Germany, Rachel Epstein and her family are living in a farmhouse, thanks to Old Hans, hiding away from the Nazis. They were Jews. But when Old Hans died, the family were separated–Rachel never saw her brothers, her parents were taken away and she and her sister, Mindel were taken to Bergen Belsen Concentration Camp, where the two sisters were separated. Rachel would do anything, including working excruciating hours at the ammunition factory or working in salt mines to be reunited with her younger sister Mindel. Mindel too wants to be reunited with her sisters and she was taken care in the children concentration camp, looked after by a kind couple.
The story is so emotional, heartbreaking and at times, you couldn’t really fathom the fact that these atrocities and brutality did happen in real life. And at time, though the characters are fictional, one couldn’t help but notice how courageous and brave Rachel really was. I couldn’t even put this book down and I got so engrossed into the book that I didn’t even realize until I came to the end! The writing was really good and the author did a good job drawing the reader to the story.
Grab your tissues because this book will make you cry. An emotional, heartbreaking story that will make you want to read this book and unputdownable historical fiction! Worth five stars!
Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC. This book review is based on my honest opinion.
USA Today Bestselling author of historical fiction.
Her books are filled with raw emotions, fierce loyalty and perpetual resilience.
She loves to put her characters through the mangle, making them reach deep within to find the strength to face moral dilemma, make difficult decisions or fight for what is right. And she never forgets to include humor and undying love in her books, because ultimately love is what makes the world go round.
Marion Kummerow was born and raised in Germany, before she set out to “discover the world” and lived in various countries. In 1999 she returned to Germany and settled down in Munich where she’s now living with her family.
After dipping her toes with non-fiction books, she finally tackled the project dear to her heart. UNRELENTING is the story about her grandparents, who belonged to the German resistance and fought against the Nazi regime. It’s a book about resilience, love and the courage to stand up and do the right thing.
