New On My Shelf This Week

This time I am sharing a trio of new books which I shall be featuring in further posts over the coming weeks.

The first couple are pre-approved titles provided by Aria Fiction and shared by NetGalley for download. I shall be hosting Blog Tour spots for both of these during March.

The third title was gifted to me directly by author Rachel Amphlett, together with complimentary downloads of all four previous episodes in the ‘Detective Kay Hunter’ series. Rachel has also agreed to make a return visit with a second great guest post, which I also hope to feature during the book’s launch month of March.

THE CANDLE FACTORY GIRL‘ by TANIA CROSSE

Work at Price’s Candle Factory in Battersea is tedious for intelligent, seventeen-year-old Hillie Hardwick, but she knows she is lucky to have a job at all.

Her home life is no better, as she constantly battles with her exacted and bullying father in order to protect her mother and five younger siblings from his tyranny of abuse.

Her only solace is her loving relationship with the chaotic Parker family and her best friend, Gert Parker.

When matters violently escalate for Hillie, smitten Jack-the-Lad Jimmy Baxter seems her only salvation.

But could this be the biggest mistake of her life, and should she be looking for protection nearer home?

A story that crackles with unease where courage and friendship are the only hope.

I can’t remember a time, even as a child, when I haven’t been passionate about books and reading.
I began blogging, when I realised just how many other people out there shared my passion for the written word and I have been continually amazed at the wealth of books that are available and the amount of great new friends I have made, from literally 'The Four Corners Of The World'.
