For my April 2026 giveaway I have two fabulous books! It costs me the same to send one book or two. So why not give away two.
Both books were five star reads for me and although vastly different, both centred on family and drugs. When the Party's Over is a domestic centred drama with a few mysteries throughout and The Maskey's is also family centric but champions dark humour and revenge in a small country town.

When the Party's Over by Katie Hoskins
Blurb
Natalie knows her life looks perfect from the
Three young children, a loving husband, the tastefully renovated Eastern
Suburbs cottage. So why does she feel so suffocated?
On her 36th birthday, all Natalie wants is to gather her two best friends and leave their responsibilities behind just for one night. But when the party's over, she finds eighteen-month-old Toby clutching an unmistakable colourful tablet - with a quarter missing.
What kind of mother could let this happen?
But even as Toby recovers and returns home safely, the fallout is only just beginning. Each of these three women has their own truth about that night - and when it all comes to light, will any of their friendships survive?

The Maskeys by Stuart Everly-Wilson
Blurb
Locals see George Maskey as a hollow braggard
who is at least partly responsible for the crime and drug related death
Naples has seen over the years. His wife blames him for the death of
their teenage twins. His gay stepson regards him as a racist homophobe.
And Serenade Theadora – the town’s famed mystic – sees him in equal
parts as good and bad. But George, the family patriarch, is not the star
of this story.
When Rodney, the loyal Maskey right-hand man, is kidnapped by service-station proprietor Gayle Reynolds – in a bungled revenge against his boss – events are set in train that will see the Maskey family changed forever.
Love-starved reader of romance novels,
physical runt, dreamer; Rodney has lived in a forest on the Knuckle,
tending the Maskey’s marijuana plantation since the death of his mother.
Gayle regards his capture as an opportunity to learn the whereabouts of
her missing son, Rodney’s childhood best friend. For Rodney, captivity
turns his life upside down. He meets Leanne. She is the girl who brings
him his meals. And in her the unattractive young man, who has despaired
of ever finding love, sees a person he could risk everything for.
