Book Review: The Sisters

Hey, 
  So here we are again, even if this is your first review of mine your reading or you have read them all. *High Five* Just a little apology as my last review was a little while ago. I just haven't had a chance to read this book as quickly as the last one. The book that is going to be reviewed in this blog post is, The Sisters by Claire Douglas. I hope you enjoy this book review, as much as I enjoyed reading the book itself. 
  To readers who have my reviews before you know what happens in this part of the review. New readers, this is the part where I introduce the author into the book blog post. I put all her/him details into this dedicated paragraph. So here we go Claire Douglas has worked as a journalist for fifteen years, writing features for women's magazines and newspapers. The Sisters is her first novel which won her the Marie Claire Debut Novel Award. Claire Douglas currently lives in Bath, England U.K with her husband and two children.
  Now let me tell you a bit about the book without giving too much of the main story away. This book has three main characters Abi. Bea and Ben. Abi moves to Bath after the tragic loss of her twin sister is where she meets Bea and Ben. But as soon as she meets them strange things start to happen to Abi. Like her precious letters go missing and there are threatening messages being left in her room. So when the truth gets out, will either sister survive? There's a little bit from the story to get your thoughts racing.
  The time has come to tell you my opinion of this book. First of all I think that Claire Douglas has done great as this is her first book. It was one of those books where you couldn't put it down. I kept getting to end of each page asking myself what is going to happen on the next page it kept me in suspense. I started to place how the ending was going to be like in my head if that makes sense. As I kept on reading I never expected the massive twist towards the end of the book. I could say I never saw it coming. Even if some of things I thought did come true. But once I came to the end of the book I didn't want it too end. I thought the ending had justice but there needed to be more.
  Overall, I would give this book a good 8/10 and I would recommend this book to anyone that likes a good mystery and two be a reader in the older adult audience range. You may also like this book if you read The Girl On The Train.

Book Review: Always With Love

Hey, 
  The reason why there is another blog post already, the weather. It has been raining constantly, so therefore cuddling up and reading a good book is the best way to spend that time. The book that this review is dedicated to is the new book, Always With Love by the lovely Giovanna Fletcher. People should know who this woman is. 
  Well if you are new here, this part of my blog. I will tell you a bit more about the author of the book. Giovanna was born in Essex which can be found in England, United Kingdom. Giovanna is also well known not just as an author as she is a actress, blogger, a vlogger and a presenter. She is married to Tom Fletcher who is well known as a member of McFly.  Giovanna has two sons Buzz and Buddy. According to her she spends to much time on her social media and talking about one of her favourite things Nutella. If you wish to follow Giovanna on her social media she can be found at @MrsGiFletcher on Twitter. 
  So this is the part of the book blog post where I describe the book without giving the story away. It is about Sophie May and her well known boyfriend Billy Buskin. But Billy has been missing his family as they are based in L.A. But when a option to be in a new movie comes up, Billy extends his trip leaving Sophie May to travel home alone. Who knows if their relationship will end with a happily ever after... So get reading it!!! 
  My opinion of this book, it was great, brilliant and fantastic. But before I get further into my opinion. Let me give you a heads up. You may want to read Giovanna's other books first. Especially Billy and Me and Christmas with Billy and Me which is a novella. Always With Love is the sequel to them. Giovanna's books are You're The One that I Want and Dream a Little Dream also there is another short novella. Back to my opinion. I couldn't put this book down just like the others. I finished this one in two days. This book is so up your street if you like the romantic side and maybe a little happy cry ( even if there is such a thing) I really like the way Giovanna writes her books and characters as you can easily imagine yourself in the books. Especially when your name is in one of them. Can't wait for the next one Giovanna!!! This book definitely needs another book to carry on the story. 
  Overall the book needs a 10/10. Even a five stars out of five rating. I totally recommend this book to anyone who loves a good read. I'm so glad that this book has got the number one spot on the book charts. It totally deserves it.

Book Review: Seizure

Hey, 
  Welcome to another book blog post from me. Even if you are a new reader of these posts you couldn't pick a better review to start on. With all the recent sunny weather we've been having, I have finished another great book. This review is all about the book Seizure. This book has been written by Kathy Reichs (told you it wasn't my last one on her) 
  If you have read my previous book blog posts, you should know a bit about the author Kathy Reichs already. But if your new here. Here is a bit about my favourite crime fiction author at the moment. Kathy Reichs has written many books. Just to name some Devil Bones, Grave Secrets and Déjà Dead. But this book is part of her YA books (Young Adult). Kathy is one of only eighty-two forensic anthropologists ever certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology. Kathy Reichs is a native of Chicago, where she received her Ph.D at Northwestern. Now she spends most of her time between Charlotte NC and Montreal Québec. Which can be found in U.S.A and Canada. 
  If you are planning on reading this book after reading this review. I will suggest you read Virals first as it makes sense to read the first book in a series first. But to get you hooked onto the series. Here is a few sentences from the blurb which can be located on the back of the book. "The Virals' home on Loggerhead Island is under threat, rumour has it that a notorious pirate his her treasure in Charleston in 1720. No one knows where." That is just some of the blurb as I don't want to give to much of the story away. Especially if you haven't read the first book. 
  After reading the first book I just had to read the second one and hopefully I will will carry on reading the entire series. My opinion of this book is that it is a great book to read. I was gripped from the very first page even though there was a prologue. Which keeps you in suspense. When I was reading this book I could hardly put it down as I needed to know what was going to happen to the characters next. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. 
  Overall this book gets 9/10 from me. I would recommend this book to the younger adults and up. Some parents may want to read this book to their kids as it's packed full of adventure. It also may attract people who like reading mystery and some crime fiction. If you liked what you read in this book blog post.
