Genre:   AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Release Date:   18th January 2018

Publisher: HODDER AND STOUGHTON

The evocative autobiography of the author Lena Kennedy who was sixty-four before her first novel, `Maggie` was accepted for publication.  This book examines the inspiration for her novels, such as the bestsellers Eve`s Apples and Lily My Lovely  and describes the long search for a publisher, as well as  her joy at finding success.

In this, story of her life as a writer, Lena Kennedy looks back on the formative influences that shaped her career, such as the idyllic summers spent at her family`s holiday home in Kent, where among the `shackdwellers` of the woods and the simple beauty of the countryside she began to realise her growing need to express her feeling through writing.  But the realisation of the need to write is only the beginning, as Lena soon acknowledged when her career took its first faltering steps, and the setback late in life that nearly robbed her of many year``s work. The Last of the Shackdwellers is told in her inimitable style, sheds much light on the life of this much-loved writer.  Lena Kennedy died in August l986.

MY REVIEW

I’ve not read this authors previous book but I’ve added it to my wish list after reading Mother.

So let me get the negative out of the way. All my reviews are totally truthful and I do believe I need to say this. I found this book hard going at the start. I saw a few early readers saying to stick with it and so I did. Usually I can jump into a book and read it pretty quickly. However this book didn’t suck me in straight away.

The positive is once I reached a part of this story any negativity I had for this book went out of the window. I became obsessed with wanting to know what was gonna happen next. I needed to know. 

This is a brilliant storyline. It’s written in such a way that you can see the story enfold in front of you. 

I will certainly be recommending this book to my friends with a bit of advice- stick with it as it’s definitely worth it.

But in Embyr, he discovers something that could turn the tide of battle in his favor.

MY REVIEW

This is a fantastic read. Apart from stopping to feed the family I pretty much read this in one sitting. 

Tessas whole life changes when she gets home one day and finds a little boy in her house. He’s calling her mummy but Tessa knows her kids are no longer alive. He says that an angel left him there. Things get worse when the police and even her ex husband doubt her. Then Tessa starts doubting herself. Well if your told something enough you may believe it.

This story is a gripping read. Is Tessa losing it? Her husband thinks she’s having a breakdown and doesn’t believe anything she says. Her neighbour is a journalist and wants a story. 

Who can she trust? Can Tessa overcome the obstacles to find out the truth?

I cannot believe this is my first read by this author. After reading this gem I know it won’t be the last. If your looking for a really well written thrilling read then I highly recommend you 1-click this now.

 Obsession #1 
Synopsis:

Falling in love isn’t a crime—but falling in love with a Russian mafia boss could be deadly.

Competitive tennis player Carter Cook wants a taste of freedom. Her overprotective father monitors every aspect of her life, so when he becomes employed by Vladimir Ivanov—a sexy Russian with an array of tattoos and an accent that weakens her knees—a bit of danger is within Carter’s grasp. Behind her father's back, she enjoys spending time with Vladimir at his lavish estate. But is he really the upstanding businessman she believes him to be? 

Vladimir Ivanov reigns as godfather of a Russian mafia crime ring. 

Vladimir spent five years of his life in a Siberian prison camp and has earned every tattoo inked into his skin. He is a powerful man who gets what he wants, and after stalking the gorgeous tennis player for years—he wants Carter. A little charm melts her heart, and behind the scenes, he orders his henchman to track her every move. 

He’s a tattooed stick of dynamite ready to blow at the slightest spark.

When Carter realizes she's in too deep, she must fight for her freedom before the attraction turns fatal.

American tennis player Carter Cook is being held prisoner by the Russian mafia...

Carter is the obsession of mob boss Vladimir Ivanov, a man she once loved. Now a mafia war has erupted on his home turf, and Vladimir’s enemies have put a bounty on her head to force him to surrender. If she is captured, his rivals will deliver a deadly ultimatum—his life in exchange for hers. The price for Carter’s freedom is Vladimir’s blood. 

Vladimir holds ultimate power as godfather of the Ivanov Bratva… 

He spent five years in a Siberian prison camp and has earned every tattoo inked into his skin. He is a powerful man who rules his crew with an iron fist. 

But his enemies have discovered his only weakness—Carter. Vladimir knows if she stays in his world, he is handing her a death sentence, so he vows to get her home and never interfere in her life again. Giving up the woman he loves is the only way to protect her from the bad guys—including himself. 

Vladimir’s rivals have a different plan for the ill-fated couple… 

Some punishments are worse than death, and the head of the Ovechkin Bratva will go to any length to seek vengeance and inflict maximum suffering on Vladimir. 

Carter may be Vladimir’s weakness, but she is also his only hope for survival. When the boss of the Ovechkin family threatens the man she loves, she must fight for Vladimir’s freedom before their rivals can deliver the fatal blow. 

Love is blind—but it could also be deadly.

But Maksim’s plans go deeper than that. Vladimir’s blood may not be enough. 

Maksim wants Carter for himself. 

Carter has a secret—she’s pregnant with Vladimir’s heir. 

If Maksim finds out, the consequences will be disastrous. But Carter isn’t willing to give up on her husband, even if her loyalty to Vladimir puts her life on the line. 

Some risks are worth taking, however, and Carter has a plan. 

Unfortunately, Maksim is one step ahead of her.

Author Info:

On 19 September 2017, Tony's dark, psychological crime thriller, Degrees of Darkness, featuring ex-detective Frank Rogers, was also published by Bloodhound Books. This was intended to be a stand-alone novel, but Tony is now considering the possibility of a follow-up.

MY REVIEW

I’ve read Degrees of Darkness by this author and yet again the author has written another brilliant story. 

Mike Lynch thought he was having a bad day. Yes it was bad but was about to get so much worse. When he witnesses a shooting at a lay by he ends up driving away in a different car to save himself. He’s even more shocked when he finds the victims daughter, Charlie and her nanny Melissa in the footwell behind him. Melissa begs him not to go to the police and so he finds himself being chased while trying to keep Melissa and Charlie safe and alive. Mike like us has so many questions running around in his head. Thankfully they are all answered as we keep reading. 

Although Mike Lynch didn’t come across to me as a strong character straight away  he certainly showed how strong and brave he was as I kept reading. I loved that it was told in first person point of view through Mikes eyes. 

This book proves to me I don’t read enough action adventure stories. From start to finish its a fast paced thriller. The twists and turns were unpredictable and had me ranting at my kindle. Brilliant storyline that had me thinking I’d love to see this on the television.


Although a different kind of thriller than I normally read I totally loved it. Am looking forward to reading more from this author.

You can’t outrun your past, a mistake I learned the hard way.

Stripped of my innocence in the middle of the Californian desert, I waited for death.
