The Long Weekend by Gilly Macmillan

The Long Weekend by Gilly Macmillan

After reading The Long Weekend and one other book by Gilly Macmillan, I really don’t think she’s anauthor for me. The premise of this book sounded fantastic to me, as I really enjoy thrillers about groupsof friends going away on holiday. It’s a niche I didn’t realise I loved until […]

Meet the Newmans by Jennifer Niven

Meet the Newmans by Jennifer Niven

The Shark House was a seemingly random find that I discovered when I was searching through new 2026 book releases to add to my list, but once I had read the synopsis which mentions sharks and a marine biologist based in Hawaii, I just had to get my hands on […]

I love myself a bit of rich people drama, and what is more dramatic than the British royal family? Following Lexi as she was torn from her newly built life in Tasmania to rejoin the royal family (who don’t like her, by the way) and struggle to adapt to her […]
