Blog Tour- Another Mother - 11/4/18
Blog Tour
Another Mother is a story that combines a young women's struggle at finding herself once she discovers she was adopted.
Being bullied at school and never feeling like she belonged. The first half of this book didn't feel lile a thriller it was more of a compelling poignant read.
But don't let that warm secure feeling fool you.
It lulls you into a false sense of security when things start happening.
It starts to build up suspense nicely until before you know it the psychological thriller comes into play. Plenty of secrets to uncover!
When Lu's adoptive Mother tragically dies in a car accident. Lu is devestated.
She had always felt like something is missing from her life. So she decides to locate her biological Mother Mellyn.
When Mellyn finally makes contact she sets off to Cornwall to meet her. She's hoping she will get answers and find her missing jigsaw piece which is how she explains it to her adoptive Dad.
I really enjoyed seeing Lu flourish and become confident throughout the story.
I was bullied at school and it's one of the worst experiences. But it made me stronger. I'm just glad now Lu has found her place she grows.
Mellyn is Lu's biological Mother. I really wasn't sure about her she almost tried to make Lu feel guilty well that's how I perceived it. She laid too much on Lu all at once.
I did enjoy this book but I would of loved more suspense a little earlier I understand why Amanda has written the story this way as it really allows you to get to know Lu's story. But I do like my thrillers a little more faster paced or if slower you still get unnerved sooner.
Having said that I do recommend Another Mother to those who enjoy a slower paced thriller with a difference.

Author Bio
Amanda has written since she was a child, but never imagined that her words would be published, given that she left school with no real qualifications of note apart from an A* in how to be a nuisance in class. Nevertheless, she returned to education when her daughter was five and eventually became a history teacher. Then in 2010, after many twists and turns, the dream of becoming a writer came true when her first short story was published. Amanda has written many short stories and has six novels currently published.
Amanda grew up in Sheffield but now has realised her lifelong dream of living in Cornwall and her writing is inspired every day by the dramatic coastline near her home. She has sketched out many stories in her head while walking the cliff paths. Three of her mystery/suspense novels are set there, Somewhere Beyond the Sea, Summer in Tintagel and the Behind the Lie. Rip Current is also set in Cornwall and will be published by Bloodhound Books in April 2018.
Amanda, known to many as Mandy, spends far more time than is good for her on social media and has turned procrastination to a fine art. She can also usually be found playing on the beach with her family, or walking the cliff paths planning her next book.
