Publication Date: 23rd December 2007

This book was the first one from this autor that I have read and I couldn’t put it down after saying to myself just one more chapter but found that I just had to read another and another, then went to bed realllly late but it was worth it, all the twists and turns in the book and I never guessed the ending!

Cynthia Bigge is fourteen, she goes out one night to meet up with one of the towns bad boys and her father finds out and drags her home, after having an argument and telling her parents she hates them she goes to bed, but the next morning she wakes up to find her parents and brother gone and never to be seen again, It’s like they just left, everything is in the house, there are no bodies or any signs that there was trouble there, but why did they leave? why did they not take her ?

After the show airs, strange things start to happen, her husband Terry is trying his best to keep a level head but knowing nothing about her past apart from what she has said and the bits in the papers and the news he doesn’t know if she is losing her mind or if to believe her. So he does his best to get her the answers that she needs.

But is it best to leave the past where it is or is it best to look for answers not knowing what you’re going to unravel and have to piece together as you go?

Book review.

The book i have just read is called

A Good Girls Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson.

The genre is Young Adult.

A young girl gets murdered and there’s also a suicide. Five years later pip decides to delve into what happened and who was involved… but someone doesn’t want her to. Someone wants her to keep quiet but how far will they go?

This was an amazing read, full of twists and turns along with red herrings. It kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat the whole way through. I can’t wait to read the other two books, Good girl Bad Blood and Kill Joy!

Becoming a dental nurse.

So to start off I would like to say all exams are done and I have passed!!! The course has been a roller coaster, mainly because I had to do both my maths and English…. again!! But I smashed them and my four dental exams… all in a pandemic! There have been so many changes and some ups and downs a lot of tears and tantrums but I have done it! I have one more thing to do and that is my presentation. The job is amazing and I love it. I’m pleased I started my journey when I did and all the hard work has pulled off. Now I have a little of my time back I will do book reviews and pick up my own book to write. 🙂 xx

According to Yes. By Dawn French.

This is the first book I have read of hers and it was so good! I couldnt put it down. I wanted to know what antics Rosie Kitto was going to get up to next.

Rosie is a primary school teacher from cornwall who decides she needs a new start and where better to do it than Manhatten?!

She is the nanny of twin boys and the family are wealthy and it doesn’t take her long to realise which one of the Wilder-Bingham family is the head of the family and that they live in a very strict upbringing.

You mustn’t show emotion!

There is no fun!

And unruly behaviour is a definite no!!

Rosie makes a lot awkward and rather cringeworthy decisions but I cant help but love her eccentric character! Who wants and needs to say yes to whatever is thrown at her. She is so colourful about life and she tries to turn the family around.

There are so many twists and turns in this book. It has made me want the other two. Which I have kindly hinted for my birthday. :). Xxx

The silent companions… review coming soon.

Good morning, over the weekend I finished The Silent Companions.

A review will be coming soon…. once my friend has read the book I will do it. It’s all written up ready to go.

But I do have another book on the go that is written by Dawn French. It is called According to Yes! I’ll put the picture up tonight.

I’m looking forward to starting it. I have grown up watching Dawn French in many things and although I knew she was an author, I have never read her books.

My boyfriend went out to get some food shopping and came across it to surprise me with it and I’m so excited to see what the book is going to be like!!

Once I have finished work and got settled the candles will be burning, nice cup of tea and I’ll be reading probably most of the night! :).

The Missing Girl

The Missing Girl,

By Jenny Quintana,

Publisher, Pan.

Hardcover £7.94

Paperback £5.98

Kindle £0.98.

I love the cover of this book, it’s eye-catching and it has the mysterious feel to it.

The story is about childhood,love and loss. The chapters alternate between past (1982) and present, and the disappearance of a teenage daughter called Gabriella. Although Anna was only young when her beloved sister disappeared, she is unable to deal with the trauma and pain, so she built a new life for herself abroad as soon as she was able to.

When her mother dies 30 years on, she has to return to her old childhood home and sort through the house and the possessions, including her sister’s old bedroom that holds lots of memories, that’s when it hits her that she’s going to have to confront the main reason why she left in the first place… her sister’s disappearance and the awful memories of how fractured her family became after Gabriella went missing. No one knew what happened to her, but now Anna is back, it’s up to her to find the answers.

This book is full of mystery and suspense, but most of all, sadness. The whole book was well written and the characters were defined very well.

The ending was unexpected.
