Review: The Dry
The Dry by Jane HarperMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Returning back to a town that held so many memories, isn't easy and sometimes, some memories are hard to let go off when you at looked at like a suspect twenty four seven. Aaron Falk returns home for the funeral of his childhood best friend and his family, returning home to the small town of Kiewarra, a place where tempers were running high and the ground was growing dryer and dryer as time ticked past two years for a rainfall.
Planning on only staying for a short time, get in and get out again, Falk finds himself being asked by Luke's parent's to look in to their deaths a little more, joining forces with the local cop, a newby almost himself they start searching more about their deaths, looking for clues off the book for anything they could find to prove that the killings were not done by the hand of Luke himself.
Battling the heat and the towns suspicions of him because of a 20-year old death of Ellie, a friend of Aaron's and Luke's as a teenager. Falk deals with threats and even criminal damage to his car during his time in his home town.
Filled with nothing but page turners and excitement, The Dry is one of those novels which leaves you asking 'whodunit' with ever page you read. The Dry leaves you wondering and waiting to find out the truth until the last few chapters, showing you that no matter how much you think of something that it can be wrong, despite all of the evidence pointing in one direction.
I give many praise towards Jane Harper for creating such a masterpiece with this book, it had me hooked from the very first page until the last and left me reeling from the truths which came up as Falk went through his journey to the very end.

Review: The Bookshop of Second Chances: The most uplifting story of fresh starts and new beginnings you'll read this year!
The Bookshop of Second Chances: The most uplifting story of fresh starts and new beginnings you'll read this year! by Jackie FraserMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
If you want a romance, of second chances and mature adults instead of those in their twenties, then this book is for you.
Everyone dreams about being left a beautiful house and its contents in a will, of having a place far away from everything else and that couldn't come at a better time for Thea. Having just found out that her husband has been sleeping with her friend, Thea moves out, only to return to pack some things up when she gets a letter from her great uncle's lawyer. It's a second chance that she grabs up with both hands and soon she and her best friend is driving up to Scotland to see the house and all that is inside.
With the house, comes two brothers. The youngest, a lord who is trying to buy back the land and buildings which their father and grandfather sold of and the oldest, who gave up the title and is more interested in the books that great uncle Andrew left behind.
It isn't long before Thea finds herself wrapped up in life in this small town, finding that she has more than one second chance in front of her.
A wonderful book of sweet and funny moments that made me laugh, a perfect read for anyone who wants a pick me up.
