Review: The Killed Conscience by Jordan Antonacci

Tonks and I sat and read this all afternoon. A chilling tale of a serial killer, set in a cabin the woods, and featuring friendships that last through the test of time.

I worked it out quite early on but so desperately wanted to be wrong. I loved this story despite the superfluous character of the abusive boyfriend who, thankfully, didn’t last the distance.

I love books set in cabins far away from civilization. The scope for suspense and murderous intent is just perfect in this setting. Add in the heavy snowfall and it’s a perfect place to be trapped with a serial killer on the loose!

Top marks for this atmospheric thriller.

Thanks as always to #NetGalley for providing me with this wonderful story.

Goodreads and Facebook

Why Facebook? Why can’t I share my updates and reviews anymore?! Insert very unhappy face here. I am extremely frustrated with Facebook’s new update and their desire to control who can share what on their platform now. I regularly shared my Goodreads progress and reviews with the touch of an icon but am now reduced to copy and pasting when I have the time. Lots of my friends have shared my frustration as they look forward to reading my reviews and base their book purchases on my recommendations. So, it looks like I will be increasing my activity on here and directing them to this blog instead. Yay for me, boo for Facebook. 

NetGalley and Audible

I have recently discovered the beauty of NetGalley and have been consumed by all the wonderful fiction that I have received from them. I have reviewed over 25 books in the last few weeks and all but one have been terrific. Now, I know I love books and have chosen my genres carefully, but I still think those statistics are pretty good. The only downside to this wonderful world of reading is that I don’t possess an ereader and so I’m managing to devour these books through the Aldiko app on my iPhone. Luckily, I have a 7 Plus and so the screen is quite large. I have never been tempted by the new age trend for ereaders before and I must admit that I am reluctant to move over completely from my beloved paperbacks but for NetGalley this is totally working for me. Having the books on my phone means they are always with me and and I can read a sneaky page or two whenever I get a moment. Plus, I can read in bed without disturbing my other half which is a bonus. But I still buy and read paperbacks compulsively and they remain my preferred format for my reading pleasure. Although, Audible also has a large part to play in my life lately, also on my phone, which is making my daily commute far more bearable while I am stuck in peak-hour traffic. As well as making lunches, hanging out washing, and of course, getting ready for work. I love how reading is becoming far more accessible during my daily routines.
