  • Don’t Answer The Phone by Miranda Rijks

    Don’t Answer The Phone by Miranda Rijks

    A tense and unsettling psychological thriller that builds its suspense slowly and effectively. With a creeping sense of unease, believable characters, and a storyline that gradually tightens its grip, this is a gripping and entertaining read for thriller fans. #MirandaRijks #DontAnswerThePhone #InkubatorBooks #ZooloosBookTours 👩🏻‍💻 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (MoMoBookDiary 2026)

  • A Scottish Summer Escape by Ellie Henderson

    A Scottish Summer Escape by Ellie Henderson

    A story so immersive it comes with a warning: clear your day before you start reading. Once you arrive in Rowan Bay, you won’t want to leave. Warm, romantic and beautifully written, this was the kind of book that made hours disappear as I completely lost myself in the story. #EllieHenderson #AScottishSummerEscape #ChocLit #JoffeBooks #NetGalley #ZooloosBookTours 👩🏻‍💻 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (MoMoBookDiary 2026)

    The Exodus Directive by Ian Copeland

    The Exodus Directive is a brilliantly written techno-thriller that unsettled me far more than I expected. What begins as controlled, plausible speculation slowly stops feeling like fiction at all — leaving behind a quiet, lingering unease about power, progress, and the systems we trust to shape our future. #IanCopeland #TheExodusDirective #SignalTheoryBooks #ZooloosBookTours 📚 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ✒️ (MoMoBookDiary 2026)
