Review by Kelly Lacey Format - Physical Copy Pages -278 Genre: Children’s Fiction Rating:  Five Stars The Nowhere Emporium by Ross MacKenzie Well, how many words sum up unbelievably pure dead brilliant? Here are a few words that sum up this book: Amazing Astounding Bewildering Breathtaking Extraordinary Impressive Marvelous Miraculous Spectacular Staggering Startling Striking Stunning Stupefying Stupendous Wonderful I think those give you a clue that I LOVED this book. I thought it was going to be a nice easy fun read. Which it was but it was SO much more. This book includes some awesome heart stay characters and a world of wonders that will take you breath away. The only other time I have had this very feeling was when I first read Harry Potter. Although The Nowhere Emporium is not about wizards and witches it is about magic. I think it’s the appeal of the never ending wonderfulness that makes me so happy. Now I am in my thirties, not the target market for this book but as fellow book blogger https://twitter.com/grabthisbook told me the other day. “A good story is a good story - doesn't matter which part of the bookshop it is sold from.” I could not put the book down. So a little back story, it starts off in Glasgow with poor we orphan Daniel being chased through the streets of Glasgow, Scotland by a gang of bullies. When he seeks refuge in a sparkly fronted store his life changes forever. The book also flip flops throughout to give you the history of some of the characters which I loved. The Nowhere Emporium won the Blue Peter Book Awards and the Scottish Children’s Book Award and it is very well deserved. I sighed a relief that there is a book 2. This story could on for many many books. It has so many possibilities. A magic book that will have you hooked by it’s spell after just one chapter. Ross Mackenzie is a name to look out for and add it to your must buy author list. Excellent writing and a mind boggling tremendous plot. Five big muckle stars!
Starting this one tonight, it’s been calling my name for months and I am determined to read as much of my TBR pile as possible. I love switching genres between reads. What are you reading? #fiction #GinnyMoon #currentlyreading #books
Today I review The Tattoo Thief by Alison Belsham. A real highlight of my 2018. Published by Orion Books. Review by Kelly Lacey Format – Physical Copy Pages – 373 Genre – Crime Fiction Rating - FIVE Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sometimes a book comes along that is so clever that when you finish it you feel like you have been hit on the head with a brick, like in the cartoons you watched as a child. As you exhale a WOW and sit for a few minutes in the stunned awe. Replaying your favourite parts over and over in your head. A fantastic place to be may I say, it doesn’t happen a lot. So when it does, the book is truly magnificent. The Tattoo Thief is a debut novel by Alison Belsham. Set in Brighton, England. We meet two key characters Marni Mullins and Di Francis Sutton. When Marni discovers a murdered victim, their life’s become entwined in a way neither could imagine. The plot is genius and I don’t think I am giving much away, the clue is in the title. It includes a killer who is a thief of tattoos. A tattoo, something so personal and of course you would think once it was on your body, that was it a permanent addition. But this killer has other ideas. I loved the gory gritty descriptions and the unpredictability of the storyline. I was never bored and it was extremely enjoyable read. Marni Mullins is my new favourite crime fiction crush. She is ballsy, tough, strong and underneath all that hard exterior has a beautiful heart of gold. It was refreshing to read about a female character who wasn’t afraid to speak her mind and who wasn’t feeble and girlie. I was as very lucky to hear the talented Alison Belsham read from The Tattoo Thief at the Noir at the Bar Edinburgh event and hearing and author read from their own book is alway special. But having Alison Belshams voice bring it to life was so delicious and moreish. I wanted to read it again. I loved The Tattoo Thief, if you are looking for something different to tantalise your crime fiction taste buds then buy it today. Let Marni Mullins into your life, you will be so glad you did. Delighted to announce that book 2 in the series Poison Ink, is out in September 2019 www.LoveBooksGroup.com
