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 lat...

Today I am SUPER EXCITED to share with you my Christmas Q&A with Lisa Dickenson, author extraordinaire. So here we go! What drink says Christmas for you? Lisa:  Baileeeyyyyyyys – it’s the best best best and I would like some now, please.   Trish:  I'm a Baileys girl! But traditionally, it's always been eggnog (non - alcoholic).   Q: What's your most treasures Christmas gift you ever received?   Lisa:  That’s a hard one… Does the engagement ring I got a week before Christmas in 2010 count? Yes, yes it does!   Trish:  The flowered blanket my Mum crocheted and gave me the last Xmas before she passed. It's gorgeous and I love it!   Q: What's your fave festive song?   Lisa:  So many!  I love Last Christmas by Wham for it’s wonderful cheese-factor.   Trish: O Holy Night sung by Reba McEntire. Just beautiful and gives me goosebumps.   Q: What’s your fave movie to watch on Christmas...

Welcome to the 4th and final (sob) week on the Catch Me If You Cannes blog tour!   What They Say: Just one week ago, Jess was safely tucked away in her quiet seaside home, running her cafe and not really doing much of anything. So what on earth has happened between then and now that has her stealing a superyacht from Cannes marina? Leo. Leo happened. Jess doesn't want to believe what everybody is saying about him. He's her Leo, with his lazy smile, soft kisses and firm hugs, and she knows he's a good man. But she can't deny that something isn't quite right so she just needs some time to figure things out. All Jess did was fall in love with a boy who liked Nutella. How has it come to this? What I Say: If you haven't been reading this series, I'm afraid to tell you, we can't be friends anymore... It's just genius! An absolute joy to read. As with all of Lisa Dickenson's serial novels, we're kept in suspense until the fin...

Wow! Has it been a week already?? Welcome to Part 2 of Catch Me If You Cannes by Lisa Dickenson.   What They Say:   Jess had been feeling on top of the world - she'd had the best night out with Bryony, making lots of fabulous new friends, and she'd MET A BOY! Now, all of a sudden, her carefully constructed (if slightly exaggerated) facade is about to come tumbling down. She's had a taste of how the other half live and she's not ready to give it up just yet - especially if it means also giving up Leo. But how long can Jess and Bryony continue pulling the wool over everyone's eyes before they're in too deep?   What I Say:   This is such a clever, funny story! I adore Bryony and Jess and the stunning setting of Cannes. With this being a Four parter, it's hard to review without giving anything away (I was naughty and read it all at once, I just couldn't wait!). but I cannot recommend Lisa's unique writing style enough! I just think sh...
