About this deal

She can't give Destiny much, but she gives her unconditional love, and that is enough the get them both through when poor Kate falls ill with thyroid issues. After all the hassle of trying to get Destiny to meet her father, I also found the ending to be weak and abrupt and wish that moment had been more fleshed out. Melanie Golding pitched this story perfectly, for me it was just the right level of unnerving, sinister and creepy. Cue husband Patrick, now it’s been a while since I have detested a character to such an extent that I wanted to throw the book across the room! I learned a lot about the extreme and scary cases of postpartum in psychology of crime, so I always find it a neat yet scary topic.

Summary: A carefully-crafted and uncannily clever tale about a new mother's irrational (or perhaps not so irrational) panic for the safety of her two children. I loved how the characters had two completely seperate lives, and how somehow they knew they had this amazing connection. Destiny lives with her mum on a rundown council estate and the only luck she has ever really had is her mum inheriting money from a former patient. It would have been great to see a storyline where Destiny and her mother find happiness with themselves, after seeing Danny's reality at the premiere.At the first run of the talent show, the judges panel is made up of students and it is treated like a popularity contest. Janae Vito and Diaana Babnicova starred as Destiny and Sunset respectively, while Lemar played as Danny Kilman and Jamelia as Kate Williams. Particularly during the last third I skimmed through a lot of text, eager to know what it was all about and get a solution. Sorry to hear it reminded you of a bad time in your life but it appears you’ve obviously moved past that point, so that is good.

In January 2022, it was announced a miniseries adaptation of the novel written by Nathan Bryon and Jonny Wright would air on 11 February on Sky Kids. There are some other themes here, too, including how women struggle with the heavy responsibilities of motherhood and how bonding can so easily turn to an unhealthy anxiety. Sweetie sometimes teases her sister, telling her that she is the pretty one and twirling her lovely, soft blonde hair in poor Sunset's face. My faveourite character is destiny and mum because they never give upand they just keep on trying to fing destiny’s father Danny Kilman. It feels as though we are meant to pity Kate for working so hard and trying to connect Destiny with her father - and whilst it was certainly sad to read about her neglecting her own health and falling into a depression, any likeability for her character was destroyed by how frustrating it was to read about her hysterical obsession with Danny and the way in which she neglects Destiny because of it.

If Little Darlings didn't satisfy your appetite for scares, and you're in the mood to constantly be on the edge of your seat, Brenda Novak's Evelyn Talbot series - starting with Her Darkest Nightmare - is an excellent read.

Looking back I'm thinking maybe I wasn't supposed to have any questions about the relationships, and the truths behind them, but the ending left me with unresolved answers and was very abrupt! As it didn't come out until I was in secondary school, it didn't own the same meaning to me as ones such as Double Act or Tracy Beaker would. It felt like a quick read, and looking back on it I sometimes wonder what even happened in the book. Finally, her husband Patrick has had enough, persuading Lauren that she has to start going out and seeing people again, which would help get her back into the normal routine of life.DS Jo Harper reviews the report the next morning and something about the event pushes her to meet Lauren and to further investigate it. Sadly, her boss doesn't agree with her and using the police resources is not something he wants to agree on. Lauren struggles with exhaustion, but with encouragement from her friends and a shove from Patrick, she finally gets it together and takes the boys out for a walk along the river.
