Book Review – The Confidence Games by Tess Amy
This was so much fun! I really liked that the characters were a bit older as often this sort of story features adults who are younger and therefore a little more green.

Book Review – The Mysterious Affair of Judith Potts by Robert Thorogood
The latest addition to the Marlow Murder Club series has its highs and lows for me, but the highs win out.

Book Review – Oxford Blood by Rachael Davis-Featherstone
It took me a while to get into this book, I’m not going to lie. At first, it definitely has to spend a good while setting the scene of not only Oxford, but the different relationships. However, as soon as the action kicked in it quickly became addictive.

Book Review – Miss Beeton’s Murder Agency by Josie Lloyd
This was very implausible but a lot of fun! It was nice that the police weren’t too bumbling for once, and Alice was one heck of a sleuth.

Book Review – How We Fall Apart by Katie Zhao
I love a bit of dark academia and a mystery, so this was right up my alley. I especially liked how the book delved into the pressures the students feel under to perform, and how this is backed up in various forms by parents and the school alike, in many different ways.

Book Review – You’ll Be The Death Of Me by Karen M. McManus
I am a HUGE Karen McManus fan, and I have been hyped about this book all year, even knowing nothing but the title. Her mysteries have a way about them that I really enjoy. You'll be the death of me definitely follows in the footsteps of her previous, but is slightly less of a conspiracy than her others, which I found refreshing.

Book Review – The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
I was so hyped for this book because I loved the mysteries of the first! And this definitely lived up to my expectations - mysteries, games and thrills at every turn.

Book Review – Wicked Little Deeds by Kat Ellis
need to stop saying I don’t read horror books, and Kat Ellis’ brand of thriller-horror genius is a good reason why. I found this utterly compelling and engaging from start to finish.

Book Review – Catfishing on CatNet by Naomi Kritzer
I knew I’d like this book from the moment I heard about it, but I was wrong - I loved it! It’s funny, thrilling and just generally a wild ride.

Book Review – The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix
I wasn’t sure what to expect going in with this - I thought it sounded amazing, but I am a horror wuss so was also apprehensive. Luckily it was exactly what I hoped for - a book version of the 80s and 90s slasher films. On paper this translates more to thriller than horror - and without any of the jump scares! So I was fine ;)
