The Book Room Presents Hannah Kaner

 The Book Room Presents Hannah Kaner Artisan @ the Biscuit Factory, 19th March 2025 Last night's book event with Hannah Kaner was a fun and fascinating discussion about Hannah's new book, Faithbreaker , the third book in Hannah's Fallen Gods trilogy.  Hannah was in conversation with Naomi Kelsey, author of the historical novel The Burnings, and the upcoming The Darkening Globe.  With two north-eastern authors talking in front of a Newcastle audience, we started with a discussion of the numerous Geordie terms that Hannah was able to sneak into her books, terms that apparently had her American editors questioning whether they were actually typos!

Review - Sleep by C L Taylor

Review - Sleep by C L Taylor

All Anna wants is to be able to sleep. But crushing insomnia, terrifying night terrors and memories of that terrible night are making it impossible. If only she didn’t feel so guilty…

To escape her past, Anna takes a job at a hotel on the remote Scottish island of Rum, but when seven guests join her, what started as a retreat from the world turns into a deadly nightmare.

Each of the guests have a secret, but one of them is lying – about who they are and why they're on the island. There's a murderer staying in the Bay View hotel. And they've set their sights on Anna.

Seven strangers. Seven secrets. One deadly lie.



An excellent thriller!

I was on edge from the first page and it kept me guessing until the very end. I think I suspected just about every character except the killer, but once revealed it all made perfect sense and I wanted to go back through and read the clues I could remember seeing but not understanding at the time.

 The sense of peril and menace is palpable and the claustrophobic feeling of being trapped in the hotel. 

I love it.
