No one foresees the outcome, yet everyone ends up with more or less the slice of cake they deserve. Major Dardry is a wily and perceptive intelligence officer. Ulrica too is a heroine of sorts.

The Gothengau Colony – WF Logan – When saving a life in 1946 Alabama, Amish giant Konrad took one in return and must run before the electric chair claims him. In New York, Nazi propaganda fools him into jumping on a ship to Berlin, capital of the Third Reich. In 1965, at Gothengau, an SS-run colony in Ukraine, a terrorist rocket attack on Berlin compels soldier-farmer Konrad to focus on his duty: commanding an SS convict battalion. He must flex his muscle for the armed forces or the Holocaust’s perpetrators – his superiors, colleagues, and neighbours in Ukraine. Survival means playing both sides, but will the fellow German-Americans he arrived with 20 years earlier join him in his fight and in the process, trigger the dawn of a Fourth Reich?
Urban Scarecrows – Jim Chambers – The Labour Party election victory of 2019 ushers into power a radical socialist government which swiftly mutates to a British form of totalitarian Marxism in its quest for social justice and equality.

Taunted by the jibes of his volatile Spanish wife, Rosa, he moves from denial to acceptance to opposition and becomes a media figure among the struggles. His marriage is in terminal decline; Rosa cannot forgive his philandering or his support of the government. His family falls apart as Rosa leaves him and one son is incarcerated, whilst the other attempts to liberate his sibling. Who can he trust as he goes on the run whilst assisting the resistance movement? Will Rosa forgive him as she tracks his public pronouncements and his efforts to free their son? Will Dominic escape the clutches of the SNPS as the net closes? Will international outrage translate into military intervention as sections of the armed forces rebel? And can Dominic survive and recover his relationship with Rosa and their surviving son?
A Dark New Age – Ross Patrick – When the collapsing began, in a system where scarcity was a commodity, there was always a need for the unemployed, the homeless and the hungry. When most people could no longer afford consumer goods, there were riots. The rulers called it an attack on democracy. The riots were met with militarised, armoured police. With falling tax revenues, companies took over financing the police, so the police increasingly functioned as capitalism’s own Praetorian Guard; sometimes supporting rival business leaders, sometimes bringing about their demise, and all the while living standards fell and the state started to crumble. For Esme Sedgebrook, growing up in the provinces, there is no future other than an arranged marriage, motherhood, and domesticity, fleeing to join the uprising is as much about personal transformation as it is political.
Crossing Lines – Kathryn Pana – Sergeant Will Falco has an unlikely new team member after Kathy Hill left his alpha team to start her own. Will his new recruit be good enough? Sergeant Kathy Hill has a new team to train, but the shooting is playing on her mind and her relationship with Sergeant Falco is suffering from his past and his secrets.

The Copenhagen Company Escape Candle – This family-run company offers an assortment of fragrant delights, however their beautiful Escape Classic Candle caught my eye with its ombre frosted jar and sweet citrus and orange blossom scent. Packaged beautifully, it would make for a wonderful gift!
Parks London Jasmine & White Musk Diffuser – This wonderfully fresh scent has top notes of soft jasmine, warmed with musky hibiscus and floral orchid. It’s crisp, clean and floral – and alcohol-free!
Parks London Sweet Vanilla Orchid Candle – This 100% natural wax candle is infused with Parks London’s creamy and delectable scent ‘Vanilla Orchid‘, with soft musks and balmy woods for a cozy, comforting fragrance.
Khaltaat Rose Maison Oud Fragrance – This fabulous unisex fragrance contains top notes of rose and vanilla, teamed with coconut and musk. It’s delicious, sophisticated and warm – perfect for teaming with your most dressed up looks, all year round.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas! Lots of love x
