Broken Branches By M. Jonathan Lee - Review.

Broken branches By M. Jonathan Lee.




'Family curses don't exist. Sure, some families seem to suffer more pain than others, but a curse? An actual curse? I don't think so.'


A family tragedy was the catalyst for Ian Perkins to return to the isolated cottage with his wife and young son. But now they are back, it seems yet more grief might befall the family.



There is still time to act, but that means Ian must face the uncomfortable truth about his past. And in doing so, he must uncover the truth behind the supposed family curse.



I really liked the idea of this book, anything that has curse’s, ghosts or anything that has something to give you a scare automatically gets my attention.

When hideaway fall said this would be the book we would be getting to review I have to admit I was excited and couldn’t wait to start it. 


So.. Little Ray Of Sunshine and I started the book together and to be completely honest I did get confused at times, the book would be telling the story for the present day then jump to the past and leave the bit about the present day and I would be… ‘Well, what happened?’ ‘Are we coming back to that part?’ ‘Why have we jumped to this part?’ But once I got further on in the book it was easier to pick up and understand.


When the story picked up and got jumpy I really did get into it, then when it went ‘quiet’ I would lose interest and start having a lot of questions like…. ‘Why did that happen?’ ‘Why was the little boy there and what did he want?’ but I wanted to find out more so I kept reading and I’m glad I did because the whole idea of the story is great.

The characters how they were written you could (well I could) really related to how they were feeling and why they were feeling like that which for me I thought was fantastic.

For me personally I would have liked the writer to have gone into more detail about the curse, I know why the curse was there but more of the history, what happened to other families over the years and why only the first born? (without saying too much) Has the curse gone? Is it just waiting? Is there another family we don’t know about? But on the whole, this is a good read and will defiantly get your mind thinking, it did mine!

I really did enjoy the jump/scare side of this book and what it was about, for me I just wanted more information to go with it.

So, if you like books like this give it ago!

If you do get this book I hope you enjoy and leave me a comment saying what you thought.



My rating is: ✮ ✮ ✮ 

(3 stars)

Thank you for reading.

I still remember - Review - Blog Tour.

I still remember by  Priya Prithviraj. Blog Tour. Title:  I Still Remember Genre : Contemporary Romance/ Coming-of-Age Age category : Young Adult Release date : May 14, 2017 How do you forget someone you’ve loved once? Ji-woo dreams of becoming a writer and is back in college giving it a second shot. But then Weon-gyu, her first love, comes back into her new life. Will she give up on her dreams or will she write them a happy ending? So… this book is a nice short read, something nice and easy to pick up. I read this on holiday and I wanted something that I could get stuck into but something that wasn’t going to take all my time up if I got stuck into it and to be honest this book did just that I actually finished it in 2 nights. For me personally, I would have liked a bit more background on the characters that are in the book so we could relate to them a bit more. I liked how to story is about a love you once had can turn up at any time

The binding song by Elodie Harper. A chilling debut for fans of Mo Hayder and Sharon Bolton, THE BINDING SONG takes you on a trip to Halvergate Prison. If you're lucky, you'll get to leave... Dr Janet Palmer is the new lead psychologist at HMP Halvergate in a remote, bleak area of Norfolk. At first, she was excited by the promotion. Then she starts to see how many secrets are hiding behind the high walls. A string of inmates have committed suicide, leaving no reasons why, and her predecessor has disappeared - along with his notes. The staff are hostile, the threat of violence is ever-present, and there are rumors of an eyeless woman stalking the corridors, punishing the inmates for their sins. Janet is determined to find out what is really going on. But the longer she stays and the deeper she digs, the more uncertain she feels. Halvergate is haunted by something. But it may be a terror worse than ghosts...
