We Already Dug the Grave by Emma C. Wells

The "Supernatural Suspense" Review

Title: A Tense, Supernatural Journey

We Already Dug the Grave is an interesting read that really leans into its supernatural flavour. While the jumping back and forth in the timeline was a little confusing at points, the overall atmosphere kept me engaged.

The story is tense and gripping in all the right places. It’s clear that this is a talented writer with a distinct voice. If you enjoy a story with a darker, otherworldly edge, this is certainly one to add to your list!

The Happy Family (The Hunt Family, Book 3)

The Happy Family by Daniel Hurst My rating: 5 of 5 stars Book Review: The Happy Family (The Hunt Family, Book 3) Author: Daniel Hurst Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (A "Sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat" Masterclass) If life were a game of poker, Daniel Hurst just cleared the table. The Happy Family is the explosive finale to the Hunt Family saga, and let me tell you, the cards were stacked in the writer’s favor from the very first page. I usually pride myself on spotting a twist from a mile away, but Hurst threw down a trope I simply did not see coming. The Tension: From the Sofa to the Taxi This was the fastest I have ever devours a book. From the start, the tension is cranked to the absolute limit. Because there are children involved, the stakes feel agonizingly high—you don't just want to keep reading; you have to. There were moments of temporary heartbreak that hit me unexpectedly; at one point, I found myself thinking of my own Mum, and that’s when you know a thriller has crosse...

Betting Against the Master: A Review of "I Stole Your Family"

Betting Against the Master: A Review of "I Stole Your Family" I Stole Your Family by Daniel Hurst My rating: ★★★★★ (5 of 5 stars) I’ve just finished Daniel Hurst's latest, and once again, I am blown away by his writing style. He plays his cards so well that I honestly wouldn’t ever want to play a game of poker against him! This story is incredibly tense, largely because there are children involved. While they are physically safe, they are being emotionally torn apart, which is almost harder to read. If you’ve read book one, I Want Your Family , then you’ll know that Book Two is all about the "paving stones." It’s paving the way for the chaos to come, but the ground feels like it’s at a 15-degree tilt—that lingering sense of vertigo where you know things are about to slide. The whole point of a series is to let the narrative unravel slowly, and Daniel is a master of the slow burn. Your heart is in ...

The Wasp Trap by Mark Edwards My rating: 5 of 5 stars A Review of The Wasp Trap written by Mark Edwards I have never read a book that gripped me quite the way The Wasp Trap did. At first, I wondered: Shouldn't it be the Honey Trap? I read the blurb and thought, Hmm, sounds like an Agatha Christie novel. You know the one—ten people go to dinner—only it wasn't called that when I had my copy, and I certainly won't repeat the original title here! I was intrigued. What could possibly happen to a group of students returning for a dinner party after 25 years? The premise immediately took me back to my own student days. It made me wonder: if I were invited to a specific reunion by one of them, would I go? After reading this book, the answer is a resounding no . I’d blame Mark Edwards for my non-attendance! I knew something was up when one of the characters couldn't even go into the yard to vape. It reminded me of when smoking was seen as a vice and we were all told to ...
