What goes around by Julie Corbin.



The gripping new psychological thriller from the author of Do Me No Harm. For fans of C. L. Taylor and Clare Mackintosh.
Two women, two secrets, one murder...
If someone took away your perfect life, how far would you go to get it back?
Ellen's family is her world. So when her husband leaves her for another woman, she is almost destroyed. But not quite, because Ellen has a plan, a way to make those who have hurt her suffer.
Leila is the other woman. She finally has everything she ever wanted. But Leila's brother has come back into her life, raking up a past that needs to stay buried. One of them will pay for their actions with their life, but which one?

So to start with this book confused me a little as it jumps from view to view. I’ll explain a little, there is 2 women in this book: women 1 – is the betrayed (Ellen) and women 2 – is the betrayer (Leila) and it jumps from Ellen’s view with one chapter to Leila’s view on the next chapter, but once you know this it is easy to follow and me personally I think it was very clever to do the book like this.

Right from the get go this book has you thinking, it’s very easy to connect to the characters in the book and in a way, you start to feel how they are feeling and for a book to do that defiantly has a great writer behind it!

For me the storyline of this book is very believable, you can actually imagine it happening and I think that’s why it’s so easy to connect to the story and the characters.

A fair bit of this book defiantly made my stomach flip, the bit with the cat (in more than one place) honestly made me feel sick and almost brought me to tears (but that’s not hard when an animal is involved with me) this book honestly has you feeling a wide range of emotions.

There is 100% a few jaw dropping moments in this book along with twists you most defiantly did not see coming and I loved it!

It kept me thinking/guessing all through the book and I constantly wanted to know more, when I wasn’t reading this book I most probably was thinking of the booking trying to piece bits together to try and find out what was going to happen.

And finally to finish off this review….. All I can say is I really did love this book and honestly, it’s one of the best books I’ve read this year! I cannot wait to read more of Julie Corbin’s Books!


I just want to say a quick thank you to Mulholland books for sending me this book to review.


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


My rating is: ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ 
(5 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...
