Blog Tour Stop - The Last Days of Jack Sparks by Jason Arnopp

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for The Last Days of Jack Sparks by Jason Arnopp!

 
 
The Blurb:
 


It was no secret that journalist Jack Sparks had been researching the occult for his new book. No stranger to controversy, he'd already triggered a furious Twitter storm by mocking an exorcism he witnessed. 

Then there was that video: forty seconds of chilling footage that Jack repeatedly claimed was not of his making, yet was posted from his own YouTube account.

Nobody knew what happened to Jack in the days that followed - until now.  

Prepare for the cleverest, most addictive thriller you will read this year. This is the story of the ill-fated Jack Sparks - a man who plays with fire, and pays the price . . .

What I Say:

I was really intrigued by this book before I started reading. It sounds so bizarre. I wasn't sure if it was meant as a spoof or a real, genuine horror/thriller told from a very odd viewpoint.

It was the latter. This book is sheer genius! So gripping from the off and so completely compelling, I defy you not to read it in one sitting. Jack Sparks is so different from anything else I have read yet I found it really easy and satisfying to stay engrossed in the pages. It's fast paced once it starts.

It's hard to review without giving anything away. I read a lot of other review before writing my own to see how others avoided this. Seems many people struggled with the same thing.

Basically, you need to read this book to find out for yourself. If you have ever enjoyed a Stephen King book, give this a shot. It's so different and completely bonkers in the best possible way.

Scary, creepy, thrilling and captivating. 8/10

Blog Tour Stop with Review - The Missing Girls by Carol Wyer

  Welcome to my stop on the Blog blitz for the fabulous third Instalment in the DI Robyn Carter series! What They Say: One girl found dead. Another girl gone... Long shadows danced on the tin walls. Inside the trunk lay Carrie Miller, wrapped in plastic, arms folded across her ribcage, lips sealed tight forever...

Can she find the sickest individual she h...

My Review of Another Love by Amanda Prowse

Description ; "In the early years, she was happy. Romilly had worked hard for her stunning, modern house in one of Bristol's most fashionable suburbs. She adored her gorgeous, gap-toothed daughter and her kind and handsome husband. Sure, life was sometimes exhausting - but nothing that a large glass of wine at the end of the day couldn't fix. But then, as deep-buried insecurities surfaced, everything started to unravel. A glass of wine became a bottle; one bottle became two. Once, Romilly's family were everything to her. Now, after years of hiding the drinking, she must finally admit that she has found another love..." What I Say: I hadn't planned on posting my review of Another Love by Amanda Prowse yet as the book isn't out until (I believe) 16th January. However, I posted a brief review on Goodreads and Amanda has been sharing it on other social media so I thought she wouldn't mind. Another Love is a stunning, emotionally intense story of a wo...
