  Publisher: Penguin Length: 320 Pages Age/Genre: Adult Thriller Publishing: 20th April 2021 ISBN: 9781982136352 Blurb Twelve years ago my life began again. But it was a lie. With the startling twists of Gone Girl and the haunting emotional power of Room, Mirrorland is the story of twin sisters, the man they both love, and the dark childhood they can’t leave behind. Cat lives in Los Angeles, about as far away as she can get from her estranged twin sister El and No. 36 Westeryk Road, the imposing gothic house in Edinburgh where they grew up. As girls, they invented Mirrorland, a dark, imaginary place under the pantry stairs full of pirates, witches, and clowns. These days Cat rarely thinks about their childhood home, or the fact that El now lives there with her husband Ross. But when El mysteriously disappears after going out on her sailboat, Cat is forced to return to the grand old house, which has scarcely changed in twenty years. No. 36 Westeryk Road is still full of shadowy,

#booktour Dragon Mage (Rivenworld #1) by M.L. Spencer

Dragon Mage by ML Spencer Series: Rivenworld (#1) Published: January 8, 2021 Genre: High Fantasy Pages: 982 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like always my reviews will have some spoilerishness to them. CW: Gore, Torture Dragon Mage felt like reading a classic epic fantasy for modern times and I loved every minute of it.  I read this book in two an a half days, and that's impressive as the book isn't tiny, just under a thousand pages. I couldn't stop reading it and when I wasn't reading it, I wanted to be.  🐉🐉🐉 Aram is the kid that no one gets, as he's not like everyone else. He doesn't understand things the way others do, so people think he is odd or slow minded. He is definitely on the spectrum.  His eyes are the color of opals, he see's peoples auras and can see in colors. More than anything he wants a friend and to be a sailor. He would love nothing but to explore the world to learn every knot there is to learn.  It's just him and his mom, his father having left when he was

Cover Reveal! Not Cool - Europe. By Train. In a Heatwave by Jules Brown

  Today I bring you a cover reveal! Title: Not Cool - Europe. By Train. In a Heatwave Author: Jules Brown Relaunch Date: June 10th 2021 Print Length: 201 pages 🚄 🚄 🚄 Book Description: A laugh-out-loud train journey across Europe with a travel writer who should know better. Inspired by the budget InterRail trips of his youth, veteran travel writer Jules Brown thought he’d try and visit 9 cities in 9 countries in 9 days. Sadly, that wasn’t his only mistake. It soon turned into a hot and steamy adventure (no, steady on, not that kind) by rail across Europe, taking in Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, Ljubljana, Zagreb, Liechtenstein, Zürich and Milan. A tale of relaxing train rides to famous tourist destinations and guidebook sights? Not so much. All aboard for an offbeat travel adventure with a very funny writer seriously in danger of losing his cool. 🚆 🚆 🚆 Pick up a copy on  Amazon  (UK)/ Amazon  (US) Add it to  goodreads 🚉 🚉 🚉 Now let's meet the author: About the Author

Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn

Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn First published: 1986 Middle Grade/Childrens Ghost stories ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can not tell you when I read this book last, it was a childhood favorite, I was around 8 when I first met Helen. I know that that is probably the book that I would have to accredit for my love of the spooky literature. I was already drawn to the darker side, having the Labyrinth to thank for that.   Reading it as an adult not only am I experiencing the story again, and some what fresh to me as like I said it's been awhile but I'm looking at little me through older eyes. And as much as Heather annoyed the heck out of me as an adult, I can imagine little me clicked with her in ways, I wasn't a hateful monster of a kid but I, like both her and Helen, was also a lonely child.  When ever you revisit a favorite from childhood be it books, tv shows or movies you run the risk of spoiling the memory.  But with that being said, it's safe to say this didn't happen in t
