Gripping, dark & unpredictable!
Adele Parks is one of my must pick up immediately authors and I happy to report she doesn't disappoint with Just My Luck. I absolutely love this novel and the premise, what would you do if you won the lottery?
Told from multiple different points of view, we see the effects a lottery win would have on people, particularly greed and the lengths so would go to get everything. It was an addictive, fast-paced story that keeps you guessing throughout, perfect escapism.
Overall, fabulously written with a jaw-dropping twist! Not to be missed.

Ps. Congratulations on 20 brilliant books in 20 years Adele, here is to the next 20!

A fast-paced, fascinating nailbiting thriller!
This novel is a fantastic addition to the Shaw series. Packed with twists & turns, you'll soon find yourself unable to put it down.
This unique and inventive thriller sees us once again in the realms of the world of the reward seeker Shaw. He is one hell of a character well worth the investment, I cannot wait to see where Deaver takes Shaw next?
Overall, the brilliant plotting, fabulous writing makes for the perfect escapist read. I highly recommend.

A whodunit that will keep you guessing until the very end!
This novel is told from several viewpoints, all the characters are well-drawn and I was immediately intrigued as it becomes clear they all have their own secrets.
I loved the contrasting settings of a French villa and Ipswich a town I live not too far from so I am very familiar with it.
It just missed out on 5⭐ because I felt it dragged slightly in the middle (but that might just be me being super picky!) and it certainly regains it's momentum as the twists reveal themselves towards the end.
Overall, this brilliant plotted, tense psychological thriller is a must-read for all whodunit fans. This is my first Phoebe Morgan book but I shall definitely be hunting down the back catalog.

Adele Parks is one of my must pick up immediately authors and I happy to report she doesn't disappoint with Lies, Lies, Lies.
Told from alternating perspectives of Daisy & Simon, I felt for both of the characters throughout and the plot is addictive, I found it difficult to put down because I wanted to find out what was really going on.
Whilst that final twist will certainly shock, I personally felt it distracted from the rest of the story.
Overall an enjoyable, brilliant characters and an ending you certainly won't guess.

Cogan's best yet!
I utterly adored this book, it gave me all the feels... It let me escapism from my world, made me laugh, it had me sobbing and it left me feeling uplifted!
I was immediately drawn into the lives of Lissa & Cormac, they are so real and relatable I found myself instantly rooting for them. I really enjoyed watching their relationship grow and those little illustrations were the perfect extra touch.
I also loved the cameo's we had from Nina and Zoe, it is always lovely to see what characters from previous books are up to and how they are doing now.
This beautifully written novel tackles some serious topics: organ donation & mental health with careful consideration and incredible thoughtfulness.
