Book review The Landlady by Jane E. James
Blurb
My new home, Rose Cottage, is perfect. The landlady has just one rule: no men. What happens if I break it?
It seemed perfect for me and my five-year-old daughter, Lily — a pretty little cottage on a quiet country farm. Our landlady, Mrs Skinner, greets us with a bone-crushing hug. She seems nice, motherly even. She brings homemade cakes, freshly baked bread, and cheese.
Then came the rule. No male visitors.
I told myself it didn’t matter. We needed somewhere safe. Anywhere was better than the women’s refuge.
But soon there are red flags. Mrs Skinner’s son watches me a little too closely. My lipstick disappears. Lily wakes screaming that there’s a stranger in her room.
And when I ask about the last tenant — the one who vanished, leaving all her furniture behind — Mrs Skinner just smiles, and says she only wants to protect us.
But what happens when I break her rules?
This chilling, twist-filled psychological thriller is perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Steena Holmes, Valerie Keogh, T.M. Logan, Lisa Jewell and Shalini Boland.
My review
A story that genuinely spooks you. The kind where you’re practically shouting at the character to wake up and realise what’s happening. This psychological thriller pulls you in completely, then hits you with twists you never see coming. Creepy, tense, and impossible to put down. Thank you @janeejamesauthor@joffebooks@zooloosbooktours

📚 Book Tour 📚
Thanks @zooloosbooktours and @janeejamesauthor for having me on the book tour for The Landlady.
Definitely an edge of your seat kind of thriller. Chapters alternate between the landlady and Molly who is trying to settle in to her new home with her daughter
Rose Cottage sounds lovely but the landlady and her family next door are polar opposites to Molly, it seems.
Mrs Skinner isn't ashamed to reveal her opinions and she's quite honest with us as readers. Things aren't as clear cut for Molly and she's not aware of her landlady's true nature. I think the landlady is a little arrogant though as she also underestimates people around her.
It's a tense read as you know things aren't going to end well at all but there's a lot at play so you still don't know what to expect. I did guess Mr Grey but there is more to that too so it doesn't matter if you work out parts as there's more to come!!

Thank you to Jane E James, Zooloosbooktours and Joffe Books for having me on the tour. This review is being left voluntarily and the opinions are my own.
I'm still processing this one because the closer it got to the end, the wilder the whole thing became and I just need a minute!
We have alll heard of nightmare neighbours but what if your nightmare neighbour was your landlady too? That's exactly what happens to Molly.
When she finds Rose Cottage things seem to finally be looking up. After fleeing an abusive ex and living in a womens refuge with her young daughter, she has finally found a place she can call home....or has she?
Meet The Landlady, Pearl Skinner, who you'd be forgiven for thinking was a sweet older lady. The perfect mother and grandmother figure that Molly is searching for in her and her daughter's lives.
An overzealous religious nut with a very dark side you definitely don't want to cross is probably a more accurate description of Pearl!
This one slowly built up the tension and gave off an air of mystery, leaving you wondering how and when things would unravel. The split Pov of the tenant and the landlady was a great touch and the short chapters really made the story fly.
I was genuinely shocked by the ending and some of the reveals along the way definitely made me gasp!
If you are a fan of Liz Nugent's Lying in Wait, I think you'll like this one!
💥 Question 💥
✨️ Would you stay somewhere if the rent was cheap but the vibes were off?
OR
Do you trust overly friendly characters in thrillers?

Some authors dedicate their books to their other halves, family and friends (as I have also done) but this crazy cat lady has dedicated The Landlady to my cat Halo who also makes his debut appearance in it. The fame has already gone to his head (lol). He'll be after an Oscar next.

🎧 The Grandmother by Jane E. James ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Plot:
“I might be a grandmother. But I’m not some sweet, harmless old lady who people can push around.
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters.
They’ve come to live with me because their mother - my daughter - was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by.
But then, most people have a dark side - and I’m no different.
Now he wants his daughters back. Over my dead body.
I finally have a family of my own. And nobody is going to take it away from me.”
Review:
it’s no surprise but I’m back again with another 5 star read by @janeejamesauthor 👏🏼
Having read “The Honeymoon” last year on audible, i picked this as my next read and I definitely wasn’t disappointed and since it was publication day for Jane yesterday, i thought this was a perfect opportunity to review my current book (i’ll definitely be reading the new book as soon as i get my hands on it)…
A dark and twisted psychological thriller exploring family secrets, grief and hidden motives that leaves you questioning who actually has the right intentions for these girls and who really is the villain?
Written in a dual perspective, letting you see everyone’s side, leaves it literally impossible to decide for yourself but then again, everybody has something to hide.
I was left on my edge of my seat the entire time; the way Jane just has a way of luring you into a false sense of security, trusting all the wrong people that feels so unintentional, it makes me reshape my thinking altogether…
Every character is so complex and has so much depth and backstory for just one book i cannot help but love it - if you are looking for a dark, sharp and unpredictable dual perspective thriller then i’d 100% give this a read!
Some authors dedicate their books to their other halves, family and friends (as I have also done) but this crazy cat lady has dedicated The Landlady to my cat Halo who also makes his debut appearance in it. The fame has already gone to his head (lol). He'll be after an Oscar next.
