 A Terrible Kindness -Book Review

🎼Love,Loss and facing your fears!!🎼


A Terrible Kindness is a standalone novel by Jo Browning Wroe.The story focuses on the life of Embalmer William Lavery and how facing the terrible tragedy of the Aberfan disaster eventually helps him tackle past traumatic events he has buried for years.


I really liked in the character of William,the way his life was written felt so real and you really felt you were going on a journey with him and facing his past with him.

I also really liked cheeky chappy Martin and how with his schemes he brought some light relief to the story.

My favourite part of book were the flashback chapters about William’s life as a chorister as they gave you an insight into why William grew up to the confused and frightened young man he was.

I thought the whole book was written extremely well and tackled a host of difficult themes entwined into the one story.

This book was definitely an emotional rollercoaster,but one you wanted to see through to the end as you were rooting for William all the way through.

I would throughly recommend this book to anyone who likes emotive or historical fiction,and I will definitely read more books by this author

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...

  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...
