Double Whammy Book Tours

Posted on by FeedMeFiction

Hi everyone! I have neglected this page the last couple of months due to general busy-ness and real life issues mixed with major reading slumps. It’s given me some headspace to sort out what I want to do moving forwards though so I’m not mad. I needed the time and I took it.

So coming back with a bang today I’m bring you two fabulous books I’m on the tours for – both from HQ Stories (thank you!) and both RELEASED TODAY so you can go grab them now!

I’ll start with the lighter of the two books (and my current read) which is just a small highlight as I haven’t finished it yet but I’m really enjoying – it’s Did You Miss Me? By Sophia Money-Coutts and is a romance ‘one that got away’ trope novel.

Did You Miss Me? By Sophia Money-Coutts

Published by HQ – 19th August 2021

Synopsis

You never forget the one that got away, do you?

Nell Mason is extremely happy with her life – or at least, that’s what she tells herself. She’s lucky to have a high-powered job as a lawyer, even if it does come with an eccentric set of billionaire divorce clients. And she’s absolutely fine living with her sweet, if slightly dull, boyfriend Gus in their London flat where they have very sensible sex once (OK, sometimes twice) a week. She’s definitely not stuck in a rut.

But when Nell bumps into childhood friend and first love Arthur Drummond who broke her heart fifteen years ago, she’s more than a little shaken. The seemingly perfect life she’s worked so hard for starts to feel, well, less perfect. Maybe Nell’s been kidding herself all these years. Can she ever get over her first love?

Thoughts So Far

I’m enjoying this thoughtful cute read, it’s comforting and the characters I think are relatable and not too over the top or far fetched. This is my second read from this author (the review for What Happens Now was posted here back when I first set up this page) and it has made me put her in my must-read lists. While the romance tropes are all used to death I think she brings her own spin to them which is nice and we all need a cute romance read every so often, right?

The Gilded Cage by Lynette Noni

Posted on by FeedMeFiction
Due to be published – October 12th 2021 by Hodderscape

Synopsis

Kiva trades one cage for another when she leaves behind a deadly prison for a deceptive palace in this dark and dangerous sequel to The Prison Healer, which Sarah J. Maas called “a must-read.”

Kiva Meridan is a survivor.

She survived not only Zalindov prison, but also the deadly Trial by Ordeal. Now Kiva’s purpose goes beyond survival to vengeance. For the past ten years, her only goal was to reunite with her family and destroy the people responsible for ruining their lives. But now that she has escaped Zalindov, her mission has become more complicated than ever.

As Kiva settles into her new life in the capital, she discovers she wasn’t the only one who suffered while she was in Zalindov—her siblings and their beliefs have changed too. Soon it’s not just her enemies she’s keeping secrets from, but her own family as well.

Outside the city walls, tensions are brewing from the rebels, along with whispers of a growing threat from the northern kingdoms. Kiva’s allegiances are more important than ever, but she’s beginning to question where they truly lie. To survive this time, she’ll have to navigate a complicated web of lies before both sides of the battle turn against her and she loses everything.

Book Tour and Q&A – The Asylum by Karen Coles

Posted on by FeedMeFiction
Published by Welbeck – April 2021

Synopsis

1906: Being a woman is dangerous, being different is deadly.

Maud Lovell has been at Angelton Lunatic Asylum for five years. She is not sure how she came to be there and knows nothing beyond its four walls. She is hysterical, distressed, untrustworthy. Badly unstable and prone to violence. Or so she has been told.

When a new doctor arrives, keen to experiment with the revolutionary practice of medical hypnosis, Maud’s lack of history makes her the perfect case study. But as Doctor Dimmond delves deeper into the past, it becomes clear that confinement and high doses are there to keep her silent.

When Maud finally remembers what has been done to her, and by whom, her mind turns to her past and to revenge.

February in Review

Posted on by FeedMeFiction

I thought I would bring you something different today in the blogging department!
My February was a bit slower than my January but that’s okay! I enjoyed the majority of my reads and I am carrying two of them over to March because I read nothing last weekend – the sun was calling me to walk outside instead so no regrets! My stand out read of the month was Madam by Phoebe Wynne – definitely keep an eye out for that one!

Five Star Reads

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

My only five star read of the month and also my only re-read! I love love love this book and it will stand the test of time with my reading I think! Lynch creates such a fantastic world, it’s almost overwhelming the amount of detail he puts into it. Locke holds a special place in my readers heart and I hope he stays there forever! The Gentleman Bastard series is supposed to be five books long but only up to three has been released! I’m nervous about the amount of time it is taking to bring out book four now!

Four Star Reads

Madam by Phoebe Wynne

I actually reviewed this one here so feel free to read the whole thing. Ultimately, this was a great debut novel – beautifully written and well rounded as a story. “A mystery at its heart and feminism in its veins”.

Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert

A fantastic end to the trilogy for the Brown sisters – I love Hibbert’s writing, she makes me laugh so much and Eve was such a wonderful character to read about. Her relationship with Jacob is my favourite! I’ll be posting a full review of Eve Brown here soon!
