An Update – Happy Sunday my lovely readers. It’s been a while hasn’t it?! I feel I’m here but not here these days and I’ll be honest I hate that. I need to get to the end of term and I will be back as I’m on summer holidays for 5 weeks. But until then I will try and post more as I have so much to update you on and I’m finally coming out of my reading slump.
So that was a tiny update but today I’m excited to be part of The Write Reads – Ultimate Blog Tour for Carole Johnstone’s psychological thriller, Mirrorland. Yesterday was my stop and huge apologies for missing out Dave, but whilst I was going to review it, I’ve trying to get out of my slump this month so I decided to read it a bit later on and do a spotlight of the book as well. I will be reading this as I’m currently reading a thriller that got my out of my slump and I love these sorts of books.
So without further ado here is a little bit more about the book. Thank you to Dave and The Write Reads gang for sending my copy which I will be reviewing during the summer.

With the startling twists of Gone Girl and the haunting emotional power of Room, Mirrorland is a thrilling work of psychological suspense about twin sisters, the man they both love, and the dark childhood they can’t leave behind.
Cat lives in Los Angeles, far away from 36 Westeryk Road, the imposing gothic house in Edinburgh where she and her estranged twin sister, El, grew up. As girls, they invented Mirrorland, a dark, imaginary place under the pantry stairs full of pirates, witches, and clowns. These days Cat rarely thinks about their childhood home, or the fact that El now lives there with her husband Ross.
But when El mysteriously disappears after going out on her sailboat, Cat is forced to return to 36 Westeryk Road, which has scarcely changed in twenty years. The grand old house is still full of shadowy corners, and at every turn Cat finds herself stumbling on long-held secrets and terrifying ghosts from the past. Because someone—El?—has left Cat clues in almost every room: a treasure hunt that leads right back to Mirrorland, where she knows the truth lies crouched and waiting...
A twisty, dark, and brilliantly crafted thriller about love and betrayal, redemption and revenge, Mirrorland is a propulsive, page-turning debut about the power of imagination and the price of freedom.
Happy Sunday everyone! Let me know if this is something you would to your TBRs!
