Review: The Nowhere Child - Christian White - June 2018 There’s something extra special about receiving a book as a gift , especially a birthday Bookstagram surprise and The Nowhere Child by Christian White felt like exactly that kind of treat: one that invites you to curl up, get cosy, and disappear into its pages for a few blissful hours. A couple of years ago, I read The Ledge by Christian White and was instantly hooked by his knack for tension and twists. Since then, I’ve slowly been working my way through his backlist, and this one had been sitting on my radar for a while particularly because it features one of my absolute favourite tropes: missing children who are later found as teenagers or adults. Think Finding Carter vibes or Angie Stanton’s Don’t Call Me Greta , stories where identity, truth, and memory all collide in the most compelling ways. In The Nowhere Child, we begin in a small, cult-like town in the US, where a baby named Sammy Went disappears without a trace. It’...

Review: The Ledge - Christian White - September 2024 For the past couple of years, I have participated in readalongs for Tandem Collective Global and they are I find hit/miss titles. The Ledge by Christian White, I was looking forward to as I do love my thrillers but at the same time, I wasn't sure what to expect as I had never read any of his titles. Well, what can I say is that everyone needs to read this book as it is amazing. If you also love thrillers that you are surprised with and the twists you don't see coming, then The Ledge is one of those books you immediately need to add to your reading lists. This book starts in the present time with a body being found in the woods and then flashbacks to 1999 where we meet our four friends Aaron, Justin, Chen, and Leeson. They are inseparable and a close brotherhood, so much so that their friendship reminded me of the boys from Stand By Me or the girls from Now and Then movies. The book follows our narrator as he heads back home...

Review: Outcast Sister - James Davidson - October 2023 This book is my first tour with The Book Folks and it was a great read too especially for a self-published debut novel and also a bonus being set in the UK. Normally, I often find books set in the UK to be quite slow-paced especially their thrillers, and even though this one had a bit of that pacing issue, because of the content and the creepiness of the story it didn't seem to reflect the slower pace as much. The book starts with someone known as "The Doctor" waking up in a strange room feeling like he is dying and remembering only one name Eleanor with a line crossed through it. The book then jumps to Eleanor Rose who is a police officer in London when she gets some strange notes and phone calls telling her to run, she then gets an email from an old lover she hasn't spoken to in five years with their code word. Daniel is in trouble and so she hightails it back home to Liverpool, where her half-sister Beth Krus...
