The Tree Beasts by E.R. Fallon - Fantasy/mystery

Sam and Victoria had three children. Identical twins Nat and Paul and a daughter Katie.
When they were small and playing in a park, Paul went missing, never to be seen again.
The nanny of another child there, Julian, left the island very shortly afterwards. She said
she had called the police but was later found to have been lying. Ten years later Katie is
very friendly with Julian and there are the beginnings of a  relationship. She isn’t aware
that he was there when her brother disappeared. Katie has always felt Paul’s presence
and she has a distinctive birthmark similar to that of others on the island but does not
yet know of its significance. This is a very different read- it's a mystery with a little
fantasy and almost supernatural with the trees who “look like exotic beasts and also
a bit like missing children”. I liked Julian and Katie, they were determined and down
to earth whilst others around them only had their own best interests at heart,
pretty much like real life I guess. You reap what you sow…. a clever premise and
an interesting read.

Book Description:

"Bewitching darkness laces every chapter, every word. This is the kind of book we stay up all night to finish. It's simply remarkable." ~ Da Chen, New York Times best-selling author


Beautiful Blackthorn Island is a small community, but at its heart lies a big, ugly secret...

The island of Blackthorn is a seemingly normal place that hides an evil secret. Not only does the island have strange trees that appear like exotic, menacing beasts - several of its youngest residents have mysteriously disappeared over the years. Some inhabitants think that the island's trees even look like the missing children.

Paul Gold, one of identical twin boys, is the latest child to go missing. When his mother and sister believe they are seeing him again on the island years after his disappearance, they are determined to discover the truth behind what happened to him.

But there are those on the island who are just as determined to keep the secret...

Andorra Pett and the Oort Cloud- Cafe- Richard Dee-  4* Andi has landed on a mining station a week away from Mars. She takes on the “ucky strike cafe” (the “L” fell off) - its previous owner having disappeared leaving outstanding debts. Her business partner Cy is right behind her. Much to her surprise they find the previous guy in the freezer - in a body bag. Being on a different planet means there are rules about refuse and hence they decide to leave him there having little choice in the matter. Andi wants to find out more about a secret book that he had and who murdered him. This is a wonderful, lighthearted read to make you smile. Characters that are well portrayed and you take to easily. Descriptions are vivid and you can easily picture “the planet” in your minds eye. An excellent plot line with a little humour and even romance along the way. A highly enjoyable read.

  More Life as a Dog by LA Davenport- memoirs/humour This is the second in the series (both happily stand alone) about Kevin the dachshund, the “meat seeking missile” and his adventures with his human. Human has a new girlfriend and it’s a nervous time when Kevin is taken to be introduced to her dog. Will he behave or let them both down? This is written in the first person from the humans point of view and tells of outings they have such as a trip back to London after a day out,  but turned into an adventure due to running out of petrol. From meeting Amy Winehouse to poor Kevin being kicked there are the highs and lows of their lives. This is a fun,  light hearted read especially for any dog lover.  Although told from the human perspective, it's told with Kevin at the heart of things. It's heart-warming, it's very touching and also that for some of us, we have overcome much due to having that canine companion at our side. A short, beautiful read. One for over a coffee or t

Holmes, Marple and Poe by James Patterson

  Holmes, Marple and Poe by James Patterson-mystery thriller Oh wow! A book I wanted to devour in one helping but didn't want it to end. Holmes, Marple and Poe are PI’s and have just started their own agency together. Each one has particular talents although all are highly attuned to finding out the whys and wherefores to solve a crime. Holmes for example is hyperosmic and can detect scents amongst the normal ones the rest of us can. Are they their real names? Of that we are not sure but what we can be certain of is that they are good at their job, very good and the police department calls them in when things are starting to get beyond them or where they would rather not be involved. Each one has their own secrets from their lives before they got together. Can they solve the crimes and stay under the radar? This is my first James Patterson book. I know , I know, I must have been hiding under a rock. Brilliant and page turning doesn't do this justice. It looks like I have rather
