I Have Something To Tell You by Susan Lewis

Synopsis:

High-flying lawyer Jessica Wells has it all. A successful career, loving husband Tom and a family she adores. But one case – and one client – will put all that at risk.

Edward Blake. An ordinary life turned upside down – or a man who quietly watched television while his wife was murdered upstairs? With more questions than answers and a case too knotted to unravel, Jessica suspects he’s protecting someone…

Then she comes home one day and her husband utters the words no one ever wants to hear. Sit down… because I've got something to tell you…

Now Jessica must fight not only for the man she defends, but for the man she thought she trusted with her life – her husband.

Review:

Jay is a defence lawyer called to a client accused of murdering his wife in their own home under strange circumstances. Right from the start Jay has a nagging feeling something is not quite right and believes her client Edward to be innocent.

Whilst battling her own problems at home created by her husband Tom’s infidelity, she sets on a mission to discover what she can about the mysterious deceased wife Vanessa and the double life that she led.

Susan Lewis does it again and brings out the best and worst out of all her characters. The story is well thought through and lined with enough hints and twist to keep you guessing the ending of the story. This is another fabulous book.

Caduceus (Beth Harper Supernatural Thriller #2) by S.E. England

Synopsis:

Beth Harper is a highly gifted spiritual medium and clairvoyant. Having fled Scarsdale Hall, she's drawn to the remote coastal town of Crewby in north west England, and it soon becomes apparent she has a job to do. The congeniality here is but a thin veneer masking decades of deeply embedded secrets, madness and fear. Although she has help from her spirit guides and many clues are shown in visions, it isn't until the senseless and ritualistic murders happen on Mailing Street, however, that the truth is finally unearthed. And Joe Sully, the investigating officer, is about to have the spiritual awakening of his life.

What's buried beneath these houses though, is far more horrific and widespread than anything either of them could have imagined. Who is the man in black? What is the black goo crawling all over the rooftops? What exactly is The Gatehouse? And as for the local hospital, one night is more than enough for Beth...let alone three...

Review:

Second book in Beth harper series and things are escalating within the world of spirits, demons and the good guys like Beth. After leaving Curbeck and Scarsdale Hall behind and escaping just in time, Beth and Jennie arrive in the small seaside town of Crewby to try and begin a new life, hidden from Countess Martel’s sight.

It doesn’t take long for Beth to realise there really is no escape and until she fights them all and faces her most difficult challenges, she will always be on the run, with her enemies just one step behind.

Fabulous follow up to the first book, delving more into Jennie’s story and showing Beth’s character and powers growing. With the helpful police officer Joe on their side, they face the dark side once more. The book is skilfully written only given away as much as necessary, leaving the reader on the edge of their seat needing more!

The Girl She Was Before by Jess Kitching

Synopsis:

Powerful, packed full of gruelling details that will linger with you long after the book has finished.

Nat lives a picture-perfect life, but it wasn’t always this way. A victim of horrific bullying when she was a teenager, Nat will do anything to keep distance between the girl she was before and the woman she is now.

But when her best friend is murdered and people begin to point their finger at her, Nat’s new life quickly unravels.

To Nat, it’s no surprise the crime happened at the same time as the return of her biggest tormentor, Chrissy Summers. A woman with a violent streak who destroyed lives when she was younger and isn’t afraid to do it again.

Face to face with the past she so firmly keeps behind her, Nat’s sanity wavers as her determination to reveal Chrissy as the monster she knows her as rises to dangerous heights.

The question is, can Nat prove Chrissy is a killer, or will Chrissy get to Nat and her family before she has the chance?

Review:

Oh my goodness. What a book. It’s modern, though-provoking and shocking, dramatic and scarily close to reality and what people really can be like.

Nat seems to have it all, but her past is still haunting her. She moved back to Coral Bay and gained friendships from the very people that have made her teenage years an absolute hell and she is praying every day that her sunny life continues.

That is until two of her new found best friends end up ran off the door with one dead and one paralysed forever. With her worst enemy Chrissy back in town at the same town, Nat believes she is behind her friend’s death and that Nat and her family will be next. Little does she know. And in the meantime the fingers start pointing to Nat unravelling the perfect life she has worked so hard to create.

This is the perfect book highlighting the impact of persistent bullying and how it destroys lives and keeps on destroying lives well after people part ways. It’s been put into a fabulous book and what an ending!
