Book Review: Her Sisters Secret by E.V. Seymour
Genre: Fiction, mystery
Publisher: HarperCollins
Pub date: 05 July 2019
Rating: 🌟🌟🌟
When Molly Napiers sister Scarlet dies in a road traffic accident, Molly believes her sister had a secret and attempts to discover what it is.
When she meets Rocco Noble she can’t help but wonder if there’s something else about him, who is he and just how far does this secret go?
I read this within a few hours the secret just gets bigger and bigger! It’s a real page turner that I couldn’t put down. The characters are well formed and those you grow to love you can’t help but be shocked by.
For those who enjoy a bit of a mystery/ thriller I recommend this!
Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins for the opportunity to read this in exchange for my review.
#BlogTour #BookReview Clear My Name by Paula Daly (@PaulaDalyAuthor) @damppebbles @TransworldBooks #ClearMyName #damppebblesblogtours
My second blog tour stop today is for Clear My Nameby Paula Daly. Thank you to Emma over at Damppebbles blog tours for my invite onto the tour and Bantam Press for my ARC.
Firstly, a little bit about the book
Innocent?
When Carrie was accused of brutally murdering her husband’s lover, she denied it. She denied it when they arrested her, when they put her in front of a jury, and when they sent her to prison.
Now she’s three years into a fifteen-year sentence, away from the daughter she loves and the life she had built. And she is still denying that she is to blame.
Guilty?
Tess Gilroy has devoted her life to righting wrongs. Through her job for Innocence UK, a charity which takes on alleged miscarriages of justice, she works tirelessly to uncover the truth.
But when she is asked to take Carrie’s case…

The Raven Cycle
★★★☆☆
Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue never sees them–until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks to her.
His name is Gansey, a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.
But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul whose emotions range from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher who notices many things but says very little.
For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She doesn’t believe in true…

New Release: Just Her Poetry by D. L. Finn #bookrelease #poetry
Hi, friends. I’ve been out of town at the beach for several days, so please excuse me for being absent from commenting on your blogs. I’m now back in the thick of things and delighted to be participating in the blog tour for D.L. Finn with her newest release, Just Her Poetry. Denise is a bright, sunny soul whose beautiful spirit always shines through. I’ve read several of her books, including her poetry, and always find her work vividly imagined and engaging. I had her current release on pre-order and look forward to wallowing around in the pages. The cover alone is enough to put me in a contemplative mood! Please welcome Denise….
Thank you, Mae, for having me on your blog to celebrate the release of my first poetry book, “Just Her Poetry Seasons of a Soul.”

Book Review: The Gate
I’m excited to be part of launching Staci Troilo’s latest book, The Gate (under her pen name, D.L. Cross).
“If you like Ancient Aliens, this is right up your alley. Think of it as Indiana Jones meets Falling Skies. There’s travel, mystery, lore, ancient artifacts, government agents, a nefarious cabal, and (you guessed it) aliens.”
The Gate is the first of five books in the Astral Conspiracy series, part of the popular Invasion Universe. The next in the series should (hopefully) be out in Fall 2019.
Summary
He lost his job. Lost his girl. Now it’s all he can do not to lose his life.
Landon Thorne is a disgraced archaeologist, a laughing stock in his field because of his unconventional beliefs – he’s an ancient astronaut theorist. No one takes him seriously.
Until an alien armada targets Earth.
Now Landon’s in high demand – by the US government and…

Book Review: The Butchering Art by Lindsey Fitzharris
I firmly believe, now more than ever, that I exist in my own made up fairy tale land. In it, things are not what they really are but instead are what my impulsive imagination insist they must be.
Such was the case ofThe Butchering Artby Lindsey Fitzharris.
Here’s what happened.
I saw the cover one day while oogling books on Amazon. That’s what I do to zen myself when the inmates start to run the asylum around here and I need some adult-minded time. I don’t know about ya’ll but there’s only so much Nick Jr you can watch before your brain becomes oatmeal (For the record, Hey Dougie is my jam.)
That’s when I stumbled across the brilliantly designed cover. In bright bloody red, the title and author’s name are splashed across a toned and matted painting of fancy men opening a human body. A scholarly man…

review: descendant of the crane
TITLE: Descendant of the Crane
AUTHOR: Joan He
SYNOPSIS:Tyrants cut out hearts. Rulers sacrifice their own.
Princess Hesina of Yan has always been eager to shirk the responsibilities of the crown, but when her beloved father is murdered, she’s thrust into power, suddenly the queen of an unstable kingdom. Determined to find her father’s killer, Hesina does something desperate: she engages the aid of a soothsayer—a treasonous act, punishable by death… because in Yan, magic was outlawed centuries ago.
Using the information illicitly provided by the sooth, and uncertain if she can trust even her family, Hesina turns to Akira—a brilliant investigator who’s also a convicted criminal with secrets of his own. With the future of her kingdom at stake, can Hesina find justice for her father? Or will the cost be too high?
SPOILER-FREE REVIEW:
First off, that cover is literally way prettier than I am, but that’s…
