  Engaging Compelling Intriguing Genre: Contemporary Fiction/Romantic/Adventure The Love Island Book Shop by Kate Frost - Author Books had been her companion throughout her life. Brought up as virtually an only child, with parents who had clearly found the restraints of a second child constraining, reading had been her main pass time and a way to escape the loneliness. She’d had a best friend from the age of seven who had been like a sister for a large chunk of her life, but that had been unexpectedly and cruelly taken from her. Owen hadn’t been much of a support at all during the excruciatingly heartbreaking time that followed and all she really had left were once again, her many works of literature, plus her job,, where more of the same awaited, although she actually loved it…and, there was of course, Aisha.

  Engaging, Intriguing, Cleverly Constructed Contemporary Fiction/Family Drama One for sorrow by Sophia Moseley Writer Leaving your baby girl with a family member, should be something that any individual wouldn’t think twice about. However when Laura left Charlotte with her Grandma that day, she already had well founded doubts about her mother-in-law’s ability to care for her child in a way in which she felt appropriate. Coming from a different generation, Laura was all too aware that she and Sandra had wildly opposing views as to how to bring up children. As a result, and as an adult, Charlotte was now living with paranoia, fear, a deep-routed phobia, and due to the folklore that surrounded the object of her terror, superstition was also playing a part in her daily life. However, worst was yet to come as she never expected that revealing that fragility to the person who held her future in the palm of his hand, would be her undoing…….
