Here is my latest book review. It’s not your average cozy romance, but a spell-binding atmospheric psychological romance that you won’t be able to put down! Read on below for my review.
Book Description
Lily Montrose has endured a white-knuckle ride during her on-off affair with Nathaniel Deighton. She is sitting alone in a coffee shop when a brief but devastating call brings the whole thing to a crashing halt. Fleeing her job and flat in London, she retreats to a farmstead on the shores of the North Devon coast to repair her broken spirit and regain her sense of self. Here she finds an unlikely soulmate in Adam, a somewhat homespun but handsome local with unexpected qualities.
As the months pass by, Lily begins to put her troubled past behind her, and – despite harbouring the most intimate of secrets – her relationship with Adam deepens. But when Nat suddenly resurfaces, the malevolent merry go round begins to revolve once again, revealing the ugly truths that lie deep within Lily and unleashing a chain of events that will threaten not only her sanity but everything she holds dear . . .
What I Thought
If you are looking for a tricky romance book that’s dark in nature and you won’t want to put down. I totally suggest Merry Go Round.
It was a bit of a slow starter for me. But by the end of the first few pages, it had me hooked. Lily the main character has escaped to the wind-swept coast of Devon. Away from him. The novel is told to us in the first person by Lily. You feel what she feels, you experience what she experiences. It’s genius!
But it’s a tale of obsession. Dark undertones and brutal reality. A modern-day romance with toxic relationships and life choices.
I thoroughly enjoyed this one and highly recommend.
Thanks to the author Sarah Toll for my copy.

A spell-binding atmospheric psychological romance, that sounds very interesting and gripping.
Oh I love a psychological story, this sounds really good. Definitely one I would like to read.
That sounds like my sort of story. When I first saw the title I thought it might be a children’s book, but clearly not. I will have to add to my tbr pile.
A beauty – ill be adding to my list
