  • The New Girl by Ruth Heald ✨Swipe 👈🏻 for book blurb 📚Book Review📚 ✨“Behind her dream life hides the perfect nightmare“ ✨It’s been a minute since Ruth Heald’s last book, so when I was made aware of The New Girl, I was thrilled to see that she was back! From my experience of reading Heald’s work, she certainly knows how to weave a tale that locks the reader in from start to finish and for me, this was also the case with The New Girl. ✨The New Girl is a gripping and intense tale with a believable plot and a vunerable lead at the helm, that I was able to instantly connect with. A traumatic event provides a back story that shapes the story in the present, its fast pace and twists makes for a real page turner. Revelations, although not all surprising, still have an impact and it all culminates in a very riveting read. ✨Thank you to Ruth Heald, Bookouture and Netgalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of The New Girl, which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily. 📷💥Bookouture #bookreview #thenewgirl #psychologicalthriller #netgalley #ruthheald #bookouture #onceuponatimebookreviews #instabookstagram #readerlife #bookishgirl #books #bookstagram #read #bookworm #booklover #booksarelife #lovetoread #bibliophilelife #bookloversofinstagram #reading #readersofinstagram #readingaddict #blog #blogger #bookblogger #bookblogginglife #bookcommunity #readingcommunity #aussiebookblogger #ausbookstagram
  • 📚Book Review📚 The Maid by Nita Prose ✨In the words of Molly the Maid, her job at the Regency Grand Hotel is to restore guest rooms to a state of perfection. For me, this book requires no restoration and is already a state of perfection! I loved absolutely everything about it and was caught up and transported into Molly’s world as she becomes embroiled in a murder case upon discovering one of the VIP guests dead in his bed! ✨A cozy mystery set in a hotel filled with clandestine activities, the standout in this tale is definitely Molly. What a wonderful, beautiful and quirky character she is. Socially isolated and with a high regard for order and cleanliness, she is a gentle soul just trying to make it on her own after her beloved gran passes away. When her naivety is taken advantage of, I found myself going immediately into protective mode of her and she is a character that will stay with me for a long time to come. ✨The Maid has it all. A great mystery that is perfectly written, has a diverse cast of characters, some humour and is just an all round entertaining and enjoyable read which I highly recommend and I will be most definitely looking forward to reading more books from Nita Prose in the future. ✨Thank you to Nita Prose, Harper Collins and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advance copy of The Maid, which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily. #bookreview #themaid #cozymystery #netgalley #nitaprose #harpercollins #onceuponatimebookreviews #instabookstagram #readerlife #bookishgirl #books #bookstagram #read #bookworm #booklover #booksarelife #lovetoread #bibliophilelife #bookloversofinstagram #reading #readersofinstagram #readingaddict #blog #blogger #bookblogger #bookblogginglife #bookcommunity #readingcommunity #aussiebookblogger #ausbookstagram
  • 📚Book Review📚 Her Perfect Twin by Sarah Bonner ✨And you thought lockdown was tough! Try murdering your twin and getting away with trying to be the both of you amidst a pandemic! ✨This is one messed up twisty read and I loved every single second of it! As a debut, Sarah Bonner has absolutely smashed this one right out of the park! Extremely clever, less is more when describing this book and is best going in with just what the blurb offers. ✨What I will say is, it has been well written, the characters perfectly created in their roles and I am excited to have a new author to add to my list of favourites. Do yourself a favour and read this book. You will not be disappointed and I can’t wait to read what Sarah comes up with for her readers next. ✨Thank you to Sarah Bonner, Hodder & Stoughton. and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of Her perfect twin, which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily. #bookreview #herperfecttwin #psychologicalthriller #netgalley #sarahbonner #hodderandstoughton #onceuponatimebookreviews #instabookstagram #readerlife #bookishgirl #books #bookstagram #read #bookworm #booklover #booksarelife #lovetoread #bibliophilelife #bookloversofinstagram #reading #readersofinstagram #readingaddict #blog #blogger #bookblogger #bookblogginglife #bookcommunity #readingcommunity #aussiebookblogger #ausbookstagram
  • 📚Book Review📚 Polls Apart by Clare Johnston I had never been a fan of politics and avoided it at all costs. That is until I accidentally clicked on CNN back in 2020 looking for something to watch. They were covering the Biden and Trump election and being anti Trump (more the man than the politics), I thought I would just watch a bit. Well a bit turned into a 3 week obsession where I could not tear myself away from it, staying up until all hours of the morning due to the time difference. I just could not get enough! When I was given the opportunity to read Polls Apart, I jumped at the chance. My feelings about politics is so different now and I was looking forward to getting a behind the scenes account in this book. Well, I certainly got that and more with this tale! It covers the seedier side of an election campaign, a tit for tat mudsling on the opposing candidates as they try to sway voters, the role journalists play, some with their own agenda, reporting stories whether true or not and how appearances are everything, even at the risk of losing the one you say you love the most. This is a well written and believable account of what goes on away from the public eye. With a strong cast of characters that bring it all to life, I throughly enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading more from Clare Johnston. Thank you to Clare Johnston and Bloodhound Books for allowing me to read an advanced copy of Polls Apart, which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily. #bookreview #pollsapart #politicalsuspense #clarejohnston #bloodhoundbooks #onceuponatimebookreviews #instabookstagram #readerlife #bookishgirl #books #bookstagram #read #bookworm #booklover #booksarelife #lovetoread #bibliophilelife #bookloversofinstagram #reading #readersofinstagram #readingaddict #blog #blogger #bookblogger #bookblogginglife #bookcommunity #readingcommunity #aussiebookblogger #ausbookstagram
  • 📚Book Review📚 The Good Son by Jacquelyn Mitchard “I was picking up my son up at the prison gates when I spotted the mother of the girl he had murdered” A drug induced haze, ended in tragedy when then 17 year old Stefan murdered his girlfriend Belinda. After serving a three year sentence, Stefan is released, but still held prisoner within the community. Still grieving and with no memory of committing the crime, all Stefan can do is accept that he was responsible for her death and try to move on, but when his mother Thea starts receiving anonymous calls from a woman stating she was there and knows what really happened that night, she sets out to prove her sons innocence. Beautifully written, The Good Son is a poignant, complex and compelling tale of family, redemption and a mother’s love. Told through Thea’s eyes, the story is multi-layered and while there are times that is moves at a slightly slower pace, its outcome more than makes up for this. A very thought provoking tale that is well worth reading. Thank you to Jacquelyn Mitchard, Harlequin Australia and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of The Good Son, which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily. #bookreview #thegoodson #psychologicalsuspense #netgalley #jacquelynmitchard #harlequinaustralia #onceuponatimebookreviews #instabookstagram #readerlife #bookishgirl #books #bookstagram #read #bookworm #booklover #booksarelife #lovetoread #bibliophilelife #bookloversofinstagram #reading #readersofinstagram #readingaddict #blog #blogger #bookblogger #bookblogginglife #bookcommunity #readingcommunity #aussiebookblogger #ausbookstagram
  • 📚Book Review📚 The Eight Year Lie by J.M Hewitt. Available to buy now 📚Being suspected of murder can make it tough for you to move on and have a happy life. But that is exactly what Jessica has managed to do over the last eight years. What does it mean for her now when there is another death, this time, her husband. Adding to the mystery, is the sudden reappearance of her former best friend who for some reason suddenly looks a lot like her… 📚My first read for 2022 and what a smashing start! You can always count on Hewitt giving her reader a thrilling tale and she has once again delivered with The Eight Year Lie. I flew through this one and devoured each glorious page, where I was taken down a wicked path of desire, revenge, toxic relationships and so many secrets! Told from the perspectives of its two female leads, both in the past and present, this is a very well written and riveting tale that will have you flicking the pages long into the night. 📚Thank you to J.M. Hewitt, Canelo and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of The Eight Year Lie, which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily. #bookreview #theeightyearlife #psychologicalthriiller #netgalley #jmhewitt #canelo #canelocrime #onceuponatimebookreviews #instabookstagram #readerlife #bookishgirl #books #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #booksarelife #lovetoread #bibliophilelife #bookloversofinstagram #reading #readersofinstagram #readingaddict #blogger #bookblogger #bookblogginglife #bookcommunity #readingcommunity #aussiebookblogger #ausbookstagram
