⛴Dementia Adventure and Seaweed in My Hair Book Review ⛴

⛴Drugs,Seaweed and the Isle of Arran⛴

Dementia Adventure/Seaweed in my Hair are two novellas which are part of the Arran Trilogy by Miller Caldwell.These books can be read as standalone stories.

Dementia Adventure focuses on ex postman Ronnie,who spots a potential crime being committed,but because he has dementia,the police won’t believe him.

Seaweed in My Hair focuses on Londoners Kate and Greg Bailey,as they attempt to move to the Scottish Isle of Arran,except one of them isn’t as keen on the move as their partner thinks.

My favourite character from both novellas is Ronnie the ex postman from The Dementia Adventure.I love the fact you really get a sense of what having dementia really is like,and how people’s perceptions of the disease can be wrong.

My favourite part of the Dementia Adventure was when Ronnie was proved right,and people began to take him seriously.Ronnie was such a likeable character and I really felt for him.

I have to say I did not really get into Seaweed in my Hair,I found it very slow pace,as the story took ages to get going,and I never really connected to the characters,I felt they were quite two dimensional and didn’t have much depth to them,and also I felt the story was rushed and parts of the story felt rushed just to fit in to the novella format.

I would recommend this book to people who love crime fiction books like Vera or Midsomer Murders.

Fate,Love and Magazines!!

Fate,Love and Magazines!! Love by Design by Effie Kammenou Love by Design is book 2 in the Meraki Series.Although this book is in a series it can be read as a standalone novel. The book focuses on Mia Andarakis ,who has recently been promoted to work on a new magazine called Opul,and her relationship with magazine editor Nicholas Aristedis. My favourite characters were Mia and Nicholas,the characters were very well rounded and I really felt both characters as they had both gone through trauma in their lives. I loved the twist in the middle of the book which connected the lives of Mia and Nicholas,as well as the flashback chapters concerning what had made them the people they had become. I think the scenes written around Nicholas’s grief were well written,and grief can totally destroy you and I really felt for Nicholas. The book was a brilliant piece of romantic escapism,yet tackled some really difficult issues with some harrowing scenes. There wasn’t one thing I disliked about th...

A New Dawn Over Mulberry Lane is Book 8 in the Mulberry Lane Series,this book can be read as a standalone novel.This story focuses on Dr Shirley,Maggie,Freddie,Fay and Jon,Peggy and Maureen’s Children and grandchildren. My favourite character are Maggie and Freddie,they both seem to know what they want from life and want to work hard to get it.All the characters are very believable and like the fact the author has continued the story of Mulberry Lane now using the younger characters.The only character I took a dislike to was Jon,I thought he was quite devious even though he was only a child My favourite storyline in the book was involving Dr Shirley her career,I’m looking forward to reading further books to see her story continue All the characters featured prominently in the book with their own storylines entwined together. I didn’t find anything about this book disagreeable,both the sto...

Rebellion,Corruption and the Coalies!!

The Stranded -By Sarah Daniels Rebellion,Corruption and the Coalies!! The Stranded by Sarah Daniels is a standalone futuristic novel set in 2094.The story set aboard the Arcadia ship,where passengers have been stranded for years due to fears of a deadly virus. My favourite character are Esther and May Crossland,they are both strong female’s who stand up for what they believe in. All the characters felt real and you have real empathy for the passengers on the ship. My favourite scene is when Esther decides to help the rebellion and finally everyone realises she is more like her sister May then they realised. The book had me gripped from the beginning and I was rooting for the rebellion to succeed . Despite not being a genre I usually read,I absolutely loved this book.it was fast paced and kept my interest the whole way through.A real page turner This book is listed as a young adult but is suitable for the general adult market too and would appeal to anyone who likes futuristic boo...
