Since signing up to NetGalley a couple of months ago I've managed to read and review a total of five advance copies of books all being released within the next month. Here's my short and snappy rundown!
Hold Your Tongue by Deborah Masson
An 18-year-old woman is found dead in a hotel room... with her tongue removed. DI Eve Hunter is on the case, simultaneously working through her own personal issues. Twisty and turny, and follows multiple POVs which I LOVE. A real page-turner with short, digestable chapters to keep you awake in the early hours of the morning. A bit too gruesome for me but if you like your gore, you'll love this!

The Liar's Daughter by Claire Allan
Set in Derry, where Joe is dying from cancer, and his daughters, Ciara and Heidi, are at his beck and call. When Joe is mysteriously murdered, his dark secrets are tantalisingly unravelled. A twisty tale of family, betrayal and lies, covering some incredibly dark topics indeed. I really enjoyed reading this, and genuinely struggled to put it down.
Lands 9th January
She by H C Warner
Who is Bella and what does she really want with Ben? Great to read a thriller where the woman is the one who fucks shit up. As Ben is disconnected from his family and friends, it becomes clear Bella is not what she seems. A chunk of the story is told twice from two POVs, so get ready to find yourself inside the head of a psychopath. A couple of unexpected reveals to keep you on your toes.
Lands 23rd January
All the Rage by Cara Hunter
A teenage girl is snatched from the street and assaulted. She's soon picked up by a taxi driver who reports the incident to the police, but the only problem is, the girl doesn't want to press charges. I immediately wanted to know why - I was completely hooked! A lot of characters to keep track of, but fine if you're used to multiple POVs.
Lands 23rd January
The House on the Lake by Nuala Ellwood
Lisa's on the run, and ends up staying in quite possibly the creepiest house in the history of the world. Grace grew up in that very same house several years before. When the link was between these two women was finally revealed, I did not see it coming. At all. This will give you a creeping sense of unease and if you love a thriller, you will not be disappointed.

A huge thanks to NetGalley for the advance copies.
Keep your eyes peeled for my best of 2019 blog post!
