The Loving Husband | Christobel Kent

This book sadly didn't grab me at all. I was more glad about getting to the end than finding out what actually happened to the husband. Sadly not for me.

By Gaslight | Steven Price

I read up to page 440 and just wasn't enjoying it unfortunately. Found it was far to long winded and went off in too many directions, so much so I had no clue what the actual storyline was supposed to be about.

Break Point: BookShots | James Patterson

Unfortunately as the story is quite heavily based with a strong sports storyline of which sports are something I have no interest in, this just didn't grab me at all.

This is a new author to me and thought as it was free on Amazon I would give it a try. For a short story it had me gripped from beginning to end and is very much an edge of your seat read. Will certainly be reading more by this author.

"Life. It's like a snow globe. From the outside it can look pretty, idyllic, calm. But in reality it's a sham. Look closely inside and you'll see everything is fake, plastic, very small and very, very meaningless. And then every now and again some bastard comes along and shakes the whole lot up."
