lans to reinvent herself and give her children a new life then she sees seb as their complicated hidden past threatens to destroy them both they try their hardest to keep it contained but in a small town secrets don t stay hidden for long and soon what should be their private business becomes a very public scandal how far will everyone them their families and the whole community go to protect everything they hold dearest my review this is a fabulous book once i had read a few pages i was soon addicted what started as a nice sounding area waverly soon changed well not the place but the people abi has recently moved from london to waverly with her friend diego and they are starting in a new restaurant business they know each other and what their lives are like one of the reasons for moving is to start again new faces a new place and no expectations anna and eddy have had a bump in the road but they seem to have got over it now and things are moving on nicely all are friends with rosie she is a mother and also the wife of seb the new head teacher of the school he has responsibilities for those in his charge as well as his family home life isn t great but they seem to bumble along nicely it is a chance encounter that throws everything out of balance to be honest the event was going to happen at some point given the geography and also the friendship base those involved share if things could have been left it would have been better you know that thing about what goes on behind closed doors is their own business and not yours well this story has that as its base and then the author builds on it and boy does she build using expectations and perspectives of others the author trolls those involved in a situation that has nothing to do with them but like the trolls on the internet some troll in person but they have a backhanded way of doing it seemingly being supportive but at the same time relishing in the misery and circumstances of others an opinion is something we are all entitled to but when that opinion is pushed into someone else s face or their lives and it impacts those around them then it is no longer an opinion the various emotions and also how people react or respond are very interesting in this story and i do think this story gives a good snapshot of society there will be people who stand by and watch the others either those who think they are justified or those who try to provide a calming effect whether it is something you may have seen or experienced in real life on social media or on tv there is a chance that you will find this story to be relatable i thoroughly enjoyed this book it is a contemporary fiction story that has family and friendship at its heart trust loyalty respect and the truth are tested and the author has done a fabulous job of showing the impact one event could have in the future brilliant story and a good array of characters and i would definitely recommend this book many thanks for reading my post a

faith hogan netgalley ariafiction fiction friendship romance bookreview july 2 2025 june 26 2025 yvonnembee i am delighted to share my review today of the women at ocean s end by faith hogan i do love this author s books this one was an amazing story my huge thanks to aria fiction for accepting my request to read this title via netgalley three women all with secrets waiting to be uncovered meet on a beautiful island off the irish coast constance macken in her ninth decade is looking back on a life filled with laughter and loss tragedy and triumph but knows it is time to right the wrongs from her past that have always haunted her heather banks arrives on the island to bury her mother already adrift with her business sold and her divorce finalised this may be the perfect opportunity to change the course of her future ros stokes has managed to slip into the perfect job the perfect cottage and friends that feel like family however when the stitches of her life begin to unravel she must find a way to hold onto the things that have become most dear to her and let go of what holds her back now in a faded art deco house near the ocean s end these women must come together to save the house they love and each other because they might have run from their troubles but only time will tell if they can overcome their past my review this is such a beautifully written story about women of different generations who over the course of their lives have come to find solace refuge or return to a place they felt was simply home constance lives in ocean s end at the top of pin hill island once it would have been glamorous but now unfortunately it is decaying once the home of an author who was once popular but now lies forgotten it is now a memory of what it used to be ros is a blow in someone who came to love the island and also built a friendship with constance their first meeting was a surprise but they got to know each other and their friendship blossomed heather is returning to the island after many long years she has brought the ashes of her mother dotty it was her final wish to be taken back to the island the author has once again created such a magnificent backdrop to a story that encompasses life love loss and regret this author always manages to bring a tear to my eye somewhere this book was no exception the way she builds her characters and their relationships is wonderful she introduces the characters and shares the details of their lives but does not reveal everything it is told in a back and forth style and also alternates between characters the author does this so well and it did not take long for me to get to grips with the characters the story is told via each character they gives details of their childhood for some of them it was not a happy one the past and the present stories tell of hardships and determination but they have secrets and these need to come out at some point mistakes of the past need to be settled whether it is admission or forgiveness this is a stunning story the backdrop of the house garden and the island is just wonderful the friendships that are built through the story are very captivating it is so nice to see unconditional friendship there are many surprises in the story and these come from various sources not obvious but soon become a realisation that the island has more to offer if you are a fan of contemporary fiction that shows how lives can be changed or have been changed through a single act then this book is one you want to have a look at it has some secrets and mysteries there is romance and there is of course friendship a stunning story and one i would definitely recommend many thanks for reading my post a like or share would be amazing xx share on x opens in new

policeprocedural netgalley bookreview june 26 2025 june 17 2025 yvonnembee i am delighted to share my review today of death at fakenham races by ross greenwood this is the 5th book in the ds ashley knight series and if you have not read one of these before then why not take a punt on this one my huge thanks to boldwood books for granting my request to read this title via netgalley a brutal attack at fakenham racecourse plunges di ashley knight into the competitive world of horse racing where fortunes are won and lost in the blink of an eye as the investigation unfolds a chilling discovery reveals a darker side to this glamorous sport in these high stakes arenas where winning is everything and everyone has something to hide a few are willing to cross the ultimate line can ashley an outsider in a world of whispers and long held grudges unmask the murderer before they kill again my review i am really enjoying this series as the author visits places around norfolk i have somehow managed to miss the last couple of books and hadn t realised until i had finished this one however it just goes to show that each book can be read as a standalone this time the author takes the reader to the races fakenham is the course and there are plenty of characters to keep you on your toes as an assault and then the discovery of a body starts the ball rolling into this latest investigation ds ashley knight leads her team and also welcomes back a previous member as the synopsis mentions fortunes can be won or lost in a matter of seconds it seems it is not only fortunes but also reputations that suffer but who has the most to gain or lose or is this a wild goose chase what started off as checking out the racetrack for a missing person soon morphs into something much more sinister the author provides details about racing bookies the secrecy behind stables training and also how money can be made or lost rather than add loads of details he cleverly adds them in as part of the story so as the investigating team is learning about the intricacies the reader is as well it makes it more palatable and sort of makes sense the crime well where to start nothing seems to make sense there is no real motive as such then another crime that still leaves the team scratching their heads when they are asking questions they are getting answers but they are either not straight answers they have something missing or they receive more confusing and contradictory answers this leaves the team feeling like they are chasing their tails and going in circles as they wait for that sudden penny to drop or mistake to be made when the author started to wrap the story up there was still uncertainty as to who was involved but then suddenly he added a wonderful twist and completely unsaddled me i really didn t see that one coming at all blinkered to be sure sorry i couldn t resist a slight pun t this is a fabulous story that is very involved definitely interesting and had me hooked it is a crime thriller police procedural and with an established team whether you read the series in order or as a standalone it is a fabulously intriguing story and one i would definitely recommend many thanks for reading my post a like or share would be amazing xx share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on bluesky opens in new window

this is the 3rd book in the series it is a fabulous one my huge thanks to head of zeus for accepting my request to read this title via netgalley in a new legal thriller by the former director of the fbi federal prosecutor nora carleton and legendary investigator benny dugan confront a deadly sect of political extremists after a stint in the private sector working at the largest hedge fund in the world nora carleton has returned to her former role as a new york city federal prosecutor and she s arrived just in time to face one of the most dangerous domestic terror attacks in the history of the city a threat is building in the city with far right extremism powered by internet demagogues and funded by shadowy organizations together with legendary investigator benny dugan and aided by colleagues at the fbi nora builds a case against the key players in this burgeoning movement arguing before a jury that some speech is actually a deadly crime but the menace taking root is far bigger than any courtroom and as the militants target an upcoming united nations rally nora and her team must race to disrupt the plans and minimize casualties at once a fast paced legal thriller and a close look at the very real perils of political extremism fdr drive harnesses former fbi director james comey s life experience to tell an authentic and compelling narrative that readers won t soon forget my review this is the 3rd book in the nora carleton series i have read the first book but somehow missed the second this book can be read as a standalone it does work very well while nora carleton is the main protagonist she does share the limelight with several other characters together they are a powerful team each one responsible for bringing in their own experiences abilities and tactics that will help to provide the evidence support and backup to the investigation this will lead them to the court trial this story has an explosive start and the reader is soon into the action and meeting those who are going to be on the case this is not a straightforward story and there are many twists there are also some technicalities that relate to us law and how different departments deal with terrorism this is an area the author knows well his experience shows details that may not have been obvious to others who have not experienced this field the story flows so well with the characters both the personal relationships as well as the professional and criminal ones there is a sense of urgency to the story and this definitely kept me addicted as i wanted to know how the cards were going to fall and how the investigation would make it to the courtroom this is a book about hate how words can be used to hurt and harm most of all about how the opinion of one can be used to create more and more hatred and vitriol when others join in the conversation this is something we see more and more in everyday media and especially online how one person s word can be a call to arms for others in such an extreme way is beyond me as someone who lives in the uk it is easy to say this is something that is the norm for the us but the same can be seen in so many different countries around the world the subject matter is a volatile one and i think the author has delivered a story that shows how and why a person may change their opinion or take their actions further this is a crime thriller that delves into the darker topic of politics terrorism and immigration it is such an addictive story and one that has a fast pace to it it is involved and complex but laid out so well that i soon found myself having to keep reading while it is the 3rd in the series each one can be read as a stand alone but there are recurring characters that have a backstory as well as building relationships between characters great book and one i would definitely recommend many thanks for reading my post a like or share would be amazing xx share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new
