Guest Book Review: Louise Candlish - The Sudden Departure of the Frasers

Reviewed by Emma Crowley

My name is Amber Fraser. I've just moved in at Number 40, Lime Park Road. You'll come to think of me as a loving wife, a thoughtful neighbour and a trusted friend.

This is a lie. 

When Christy and Joe Davenport are handed the keys to Number 40 on picture-perfect Lime Park Road, Christy knows it should be a dream come true. How strange though that the house was on the market for such a low price. That the previous owners, the Frasers, had renovated the entire property yet moved out within a year.

Guest Book Review: James Hannah - The A to Z of You and Me

Reviewed by Emma Crowley

Ivo fell for her.

Guest Book Review: Antonia Honeywell - The Ship

Reviewed by Emma Crowley

WELCOME TO LONDON 

BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT 


Oxford Street burned for three weeks. The British Museum is occupied by ragtag survivors. The Regent's Park camps have been bombed. The Nazareth Act has come into force. If you can't produce your identity card, you don't exist. 


Lalla, sixteen, has grown up sheltered from the new reality by her visionary father, Michael Paul. But now the chaos has reached their doorstep. Michael has promised to save them. His escape route is a ship big enough to save five hundred people. But only the worthy will be chosen. 


Once on board, as day follows identical day, Lalla's unease grows. Where are they going? What does her father really want? 


WHAT IS THE PRICE OF SALVATION?
