Hi 👋🏼 me again back with another cover reveal for you!

This time it’s for The Daughter by Alesha Dykema, but as always let me tell you a bit about the book first!

Synopsis: I won’t let my four-year-old daughter Skylar go through what I had to. I won’t let my father
do to her what he did to me and my sister.

I know how to play the good daughter. The perfect mother. The wife who smiles on cue.

But you don’t grow up in a house like mine without learning how to survive—how to keep
secrets buried so deep they almost stop hurting.

Almost.

Last night I finally did something unforgivable. I tried to kill my father.

Only . . . my mom picked up the wrong glass.
Now she’s lying in a hospital bed, unconscious.

And I’m the dutiful daughter by her side,
pretending to be shocked . .

About the author:

Alesha Dykema is a thirty-something-year-old author of thriller novels. She lives in the dreadful Midwest with her strange husband, head-banging toddler son, a neurotic dog, and warden cat. Besides writing, Alesha loves to read (like every other author in the world). Alesha is also a health and fitness junkie and a dabbler in furniture refinishing. She is extremely anti-social and wishes she lived off-grid in the middle of the woods, but her husband hates good ideas and happiness and won’t allow this to happen. Even though she’s pretty anti-social, she still likes to make new friends and have casual chats about people’s childhood traumas.

Now for the cover….

I can’t wait to read this one!!

Hi 👋🏼

I’m here today to help reveal the cover for Evelyn Eventually by K.M. Price, before I do that though let me tell you a bit about the book!

Synopsis: Evelyn Forbes is ready for a fresh start. She heads north to the picturesque countryside of Northumberland—though, is it Northumbria, she wonders?—with Daisy, her not-so-loyal dog, by her side. Armed with enough savings to find her dream home, Evelyn is certain her new life is just around the corner. But instead of a charming cottage, she encounters cold and distant Jane. What’s supposed to be a peaceful new beginning quickly becomes more complicated than she expected…

Now for the cover!

Looks to me like the perfect escape!

Today I am on the tour for Got You by Erik Therme, thank you to Zoé at Zooloos Book Tours for organising it and inviting me to take part and thank you to the author and the publisher for my copy.

Pages: 229

Synopsis: Sisterhood can be fatal.

Leah has never been close to her younger half-sister, but she’s not surprised to get a frantic phone call late at night, asking for a ride. Amanda’s life has always been a snarled mess of bad choices and boyfriends, and it’s common for her to resurface mid-crisis.

But this time is different. Amanda is adamant about getting to the neighboring town of Belmont but won’t say why-only that her five-year-old son is in danger.

But Amanda doesn’t have any kids.

Before Leah can get answers, Amanda runs into the road and is killed by a passing car.

In the days that follow, Leah convinces herself that Amanda was confused that night, especially after the coroner finds hallucinogenic drugs in her bloodstream.

But that doesn’t explain the nameless boy at Amanda’s visitation. Or the middle of the night phone calls with no one on the other end. Or the unshakable feeling of being watched.

Someone blames Leah for Amanda’s death.

And that someone wants Leah dead.

My Thoughts: I always know going into a book of Erik’s that it’s going to hook me in pretty quickly, it’s going to mess with my head all the way through and leave me not knowing which way is up.

We’re following half sisters Leah and Amanda, but very early on Amanda dies whilst talking to Leah about her 5 year old son and how she must get to him because he’s in danger.. Leah brushes it off as Amanda being drunk or something because she doesn’t have any children.. but then things get weird for Leah and it leaves her questioning everything and everyone she’s ever known.

I love me a bit of a stalker story so this one was right up my alley, it’s incredibly tense and left me feeling uneasy all the way through.. so much so that it ended up being a one sitting read for me, I couldn’t possibly go to sleep with that storyline in my head I’d probably end up having nightmares 😂

Leah is left feeling all alone whilst she tries to untangle Amanda’s story, all whilst knowing there is someone out there that blames her for her sisters death and believes she deserves to die too! – can she get to the bottom of it all before it’s too late?

I bloody loved this & recommend it to fans of thrillers of any kind!

Today I am on the tour for The Exodus Directive by Ian Copeland and I have a Promo for you, thank you to Hannah at Hygge Book Tours for organising it and inviting me to take part.

Pages: 411

Synopsis: AI GAVE US EVERYTHING WE WANTED. BUT NOTHING WE NEEDED.

In the near future, the world is perfect. War is a memory. Hunger is solved. Inequality is erased. Artificial Intelligence manages the globe in flawless harmony, and humanity has entered a golden age of ease.

Dr Elliot Foster should be proud. He is the architect of the systems that made it all possible.

But when he uncovers a hidden thread in the AI’s decision-making, pride turns to paranoia. What begins as a glitch reveals itself to be something far more calculated. As Elliot digs deeper, he faces a terrifying realization: he no longer understands the systems he built.

The AIs aren’t broken. They’re doing exactly what they were told to do.

The Exodus Directive is a high-stakes technothriller that explores trust, power, and the terrifying fragility of human purpose.

About the Author:

Ian Copeland is a British technologist, futurist and author of the sci-fi thriller The Exodus Directive. With a degree in Computer Science specialising in Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing, he fuses real-world expertise with a philosophical eye on how progress reshapes humanity.

Born in Sunderland and raised in Reading , Ian’s love of narrative began early; at eight years old, he won an Eisteddfod for storytelling. Today, he leads a UK-based software company where he developed two world-first blockchain technologies.

Troubled by clichéd depictions of hostile AI, Ian writes to explore a more unsettling threat: the quiet crisis of human irrelevance. His debut asks what happens when progress solves everything, leaving us with nothing that matters.

A former professional wrestling trainee under WWE legend Walter ‘Killer’ Kowalski, Ian knows that every great story needs struggle and spectacle. Based in Reading, he is a skier, a football fan, a lapsed gamer and the proud owner of the same 1994 MKIV Toyota Supra driven by his protagonist.

If you like the sound of this it can be bought here! And it’s available on Kindle Unlimited.

Hello 👋🏼 me again!

I’m here to help with the cover reveal for The Killer on My Doorstep by T.J. Brearton! – before we get to that but though, let me tell you a little about the book and the author!

About the book!

Synopsis: There’s a package on the porch,’ my husband calls as he leaves for work. I rip open the
brown paper and find three books inside. I didn’t order them.

A week ago, my new neighbor was murdered in exactly the way described in the first book.

Her name was Naomi Sheller. I’ll never forget the first time I saw her — frozen in the middle
of the grocery store, eyes wide with terror.

Days later, she’s found dead in the woods. Her husband, Eric, is led away in handcuffs.

The second book has another murder in it. And the victim sounds exactly like me.

We moved here from New York City to raise our daughters somewhere safe. But now I think
I made a terrible mistake.

The police don’t believe me. My husband thinks I’m paranoid.

But I’m not.

Because whoever sent these books . . . knows exactly where I live.

Dead Gone, both of which have ranked among Amazon Kindle’s top 100. His Titan trilogy has

Mountains of New York with his wife and three children where he writes full time, takes out

Today I am part of the blogathon for Night by Night by Jack Jordan, thank you to Tracy at Compulsive Readers Blog Tours for organising it and inviting me to take part and thank you to the author and the publisher for my copy.

Pages: 448

Synopsis:

If you’re reading this, I’m dead . . . A heart-stopping thriller from the master of the moral dilemma and Sunday Times bestselling author.

Rejected by her family and plagued by insomnia, Rose Shaw is unravelling day by day.

Her life is a blur of exhaustion, until one evening a man running through the streets collides with her before quickly vanishing, dropping a journal at her feet.

Inside are Finn Matthews’ frantic, desperate words. He was convinced he was being hunted. Now he’s missing, and nobody is looking for him.

Rose decides to dedicate her sleepless nights to obsessively search for answers about what happened to Finn. Why did he think someone wanted to kill him? And why, in the midst of a string of murders, won’t the police investigate his disappearance?

The deeper Rose digs, the more determined she becomes to uncover the truth. But she has no idea what it will cost her…

My Thoughts: Jack has done it yet again, created a thriller that literally had me sat with my heart in my throat the whole time!

Right from the beginning I felt sorry for Rose, I wanted her to do better, to be better for her girls but at the same time just wanted to wrap her up in a hug & send her to bed 🫣

I thought I knew what I was getting from this book but then quite early on your hit with an event that I did not expect, but was so cleverly written.. I was almost tempted to put the book down, I’m absolutely terrified of roads that go over water so wanted to shut my eyes and pretend it wasn’t happening, but all props to Jack because that scene left me feeling like I couldn’t catch my breath!

Rose is now drowning in grief, she turns her back on the family she has left, shuts herself in her study and paints, until one day she goes out, gets run into by a man who drops a journal.. a journal that although nothing to do with her will thrown into the dark depths of her past and make her want to right some wrongs.

Can she get to the bottom of what’s written whilst also saving herself and her family too?

If you want some advice, do not start this book unless you have the time to dedicate to it because I promise you you won’t want to put it down.

This is fairly long for a thriller but is filled with so many different elements that it doesn’t feel too overwhelming, it literally had me in a chokehold and I read the entire book in one day!

Today I am on the tour for Life Begins At The Cornish Cottage by Kim Nash, Thank you to all of the tour companies involved for organising it and inviting me to take part and thank you to the author and the publisher for my copy.

Pages: 290

Synopsis:

When life gives you heartbreak 💔, sometimes it also gives you a second chance… 💕

When Tom Sullivan returns to the quiet village of Sandpiper Shore, Emma can hardly believe her eyes. She hasn’t seen him since they played Romeo and Juliet in their school play – a lifetime ago, before real heartbreak, and long before she ever imagined life as a widow.

The last thing she wants is to relive the past, especially with someone who once made her teenage heart flutter. But when Emma agrees to put on a charity pantomime to raise money for the air ambulance service that helped her late husband, she’s thrown firmly back into Tom’s path.

As rehearsals begin and the local community rallies around her, Emma finds unexpected joyin bringing people together – and a surprising connection with Tom that feels far too real to ignore. Maybe it’s time for Emma to become the leading lady in her own life, not just for the show, but for herself.

Full of warmth, humour and heart, this is a story about letting go and discovering that it’s never too late to take a chance on love.

While this novel is set in the same village as the other books in the Sandpiper Shore series, it can be read as a STANDALONE

My Thoughts: Oh this book was so lovely, it was nice to be back in the world of sandpiper shores and to get Emma’s story!

Still grieving the loss of her husband Emma is still feeling a little lost, so throws herself into organising a charity pantomime to raise money for the Air Ambulance charity,

Along with her best friends Jo and Michelle, they run a local group for everyone to meet friends and do things together so that everyone feels just a little less lonely.

Emma is hit with a blast from the past when her first love Tom turns up hoping to play the male lead, thinking she can deal with it because he is perfect for the part, she rants to her friends and starts fine tuning the smaller details but finds herself jealous when the 2 leads start getting closer.

I have never read a book by Kim Nash before I started the Sandpiper Shores series and I think I may have found a new author for my go to easy going romance reads that are easy to get lost in set in a beautiful place.

A story of friendship, community and finding yourself again.

Today I am on the tour for The Thread Ruby by V K Leon, thank you to Zoé at Zooloos Book Tours for organising it and inviting me to take part and thank you to the author and the publisher for my copy. 

Pages: 499

Synopsis: When nineteen-year-old Ellie Ioannides crosses paths with her enigmatic tutor, Alex Rodocanachi, she feels an attraction she cannot explain. Magnetic and terrifying. Alex is rational, disciplined, and the heir to a powerful Greek shipping dynasty. He is not the person she would expect to fall for. Yet, every glance they share feels deeply like fate. Every touch sparks something deep within her.

Alex feels it too, but he’s convinced their worlds can never truly meet. Ellie tries to dismiss the recurring dreams that feel far too real. Yet a part of him lingers with her — waiting at the edges of her life like a promise left unsaid until fate brings them together on her university graduation..

At the start of a deeply passionate and electrifying love affair, Ellie begins to uncover the truth. Some desires are not new but remembered. Some bonds are not chosen but returned. Alex holds secrets that go beyond one lifetime. Those secrets could take her heart, her destiny, and everything she thought she knew about herself.

From modern London to 19th-century Thessaly in Greece, beneath the shadows of Mount Olympus, The Thread Trilogy is a story of obsession, fate, and unapologetic passion where love is never truly lost; it is only waiting to be found again.

Lyrical, romantic, and unforgettable, this story will obsess you and remain with you long after you turn the last page.

My Thoughts: this book was beautiful, to start with we have Ellie & Alex, Alex is her tutor but for some reason she feels a pull towards him, one that she doesn’t understand but can’t seem to ignore, quite early on we get the feeling that there’s more to it & that it’s something that Alex is aware of but stays quiet to begin with.. 

Then we’re transported to the 19th century where we meet Orpheus & Sophia, the change confused me at first I won’t lie but I fell even more in love with their relationship than I thought I would, I kind of got swept away with it all, Orpheus loved Sophia so hard and so strongly, it felt a little like obsession but softer like he had her back no matter what, against everyone including her parents he trusted her judgement no questions asked. 

It’s romance, but feels like more than that, I can’t explain why but it felt so real, so genuine. 

Such a delicately woven story that seems to span a large amount of time & I can’t wait to read the second instalment, I need to know what happens next.

Before I give away the beautiful cover and the preorder link let me tell you about the book.. I am so excited for this one!

Synopsis: Three men fighting for the love of one unforgettable woman.
A breathtaking love story .
A MUST READ TODAY FOR BOOK LOVERS!!

Three men. One future. A choice that will change everything.

She chose the wrong man. Now she’s paying the price…

Amber’s life was perfectly planned until one man destroyed everything she thought she knew about love.
Medical school dropout. Failed marriage. Shattered dreams.

This wasn’t supposed to be Amber’s story.

She was the girl with the plan. Top grades, medical school acceptance, a future that would finally repay her mother’s sacrifices. Nothing could derail her…

Then James crashed into her life with his gentle hands and devastating smile. He became her anchor in the chaos of university life, the friend who never asked for more even though his eyes burned with want every time he looked at her.

But Amber didn’t want safe. She wanted spectacular.

Levi was spectacular. Confident, brilliant, already making waves in their medical program. When he pursued her, Amber felt chosen. Special. Like she’d finally found her equal.

However, fate had other plans…

One positive pregnancy test later, her carefully constructed future collapsed.

Amber chose love over dreams. And she chose wrong.

Now her marriage is a beautiful lie falling apart at the seams. Her dreams are buried under years of playing the perfect wife to an imperfect husband.

And James, sweet devoted James, has built the life she always admired while she wasn’t looking. He’s still single. Still successful. Still quietly loving the woman who shattered his heart for someone else.

So what if someone else is dreaming of the same fairytale ending?

Perhaps Amber needs to sacrifice a bit more to secure her happiness with Levi. Or maybe—just maybe—she placed her bet on the wrong prince…

But second chances are fragile things. And Amber’s about to discover that some windows close forever.

Will she fight for the love she threw away, or lose everything that truly matters?

Isn’t that cover beautiful 😍😍

I am so intrigued by this book, if you also like the sound of this it can be preordered here!!

It will be available on the 20th February 2026 & will also be available on Kindle Unlimited.
