The Nightmare is the second book after The Hypnotist, and already with 5 more books ahead of it. From the look of it, the series seems pretty good, and I’m not going to say otherwise. Original Title: Paganinikontraktet Author: Lars Kepler Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Year: 2012 Pages: 528 A drowned young woman is discovered on an abandoned pleasure boat drifting by the Stockholm archipelago. Strangely, her clothes are dry, but the autopsy report shows her lungs are filled with water. The next day, a man turns up dead, hanging from a lamp hook …

Author: Ruth Hogan   Publisher: Two Roads   Year: 2017   Pages: 336 Since Spring has officially started, there isn’t better book to celebrate this season as The Keeper of Lost Things. You might think “what do the lost objects have to do with Spring?” Well, everything and starting with the cover! This book is like a flower, it starts off as a little bud and slowly grows day by day. And since is Spring some days are beautiful and sunny, and others are rainy and gloomy. Although, that doesn’t stop it from blooming into a beautiful flower.

Author: Joanna Bolouri Publisher: Quercus Publishing Year: 2018 Pages: 336 Sometimes you read a book that gets you more and more excited by each sentence as the end approaches, and then you turn the page and find a blank one. You keep going back and forward with that single sheet of paper until your brain realises the book is over. Then you get up, slowly stepping away from the book and you start shouting

I read this book last month, and it won my heart. From a moment to another, it became my all-time favourite book. You know a book is good when even before you finish it you already and to reread it.

You are just hungover from all the food you eat on the past two days and when you finally think you already took everything out of your system is New Year’s Eve. Although I found Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares to be the perfect book for this time.

Author: Dan Brown Publisher: Doubleday Books Year: 2017 Pages: 461 Since I read the Da Vinci Code, 2 years ago, I kept my eye on Dan Brown. Although at the time, I ended up not posting a review of the book, even though, I enjoy it more than I thought I would. When I heard that Dan was releasing another Robert Langon adventure I wasn’t particularly excited. I knew I would like the book, but it wasn’t on the top of my list to buy. When I read the first chapter on the WHSmith blog, it got me hooked. The book takes place in Barcelona, but the first building Langon visits it’s the Guggenheim Museum, in Bilbao. It might not be a big deal for you, but the architect in me got really excited to read this book.
