From the Review Pile is a meme hosted by Stepping Out of the Page every Thursday.
The aim of this meme is to showcase books that you've received for review (or if you don't receive review books, any book that you own and really want to read/review) but haven't yet got around to reading, in order to give the book some extra publicity.
I know that a lot of you have a huge pile of books that you want to read/review, but it understandably takes a while to get around to reading them all - here you can give a book (or two!) some of the publicity that it deserves, even if you haven't read it yet!
-----------------------------------
This week, I'm going to showcase Everything and Nothing!
I bought this book a long time ago, when it was first released in paperback, but never got around to reading it. I've just been reading Hall's latest novel, Dot, and enjoyed it, so I'd really like to read her previous novel too.
Everything and Nothing by Araminta Hall
336 Pages
Published 1st September 2011 by HarperPress
A gripping psychological suspense read
Cupboards were sticky from spilt jam and honey, and the oven smoked when you turned it on because of the fat that had built up over the years. Agatha would never, ever let her future home end up like this. She would never leave it every day like Ruth did. She would never put her trust in strangers.
Ruth and Christian are – just – holding their marriage together, after Christian's disastrous affair a year ago. But chaos beckons, and when the family are suddenly left without any childcare, Agatha comes into their lives to solve all their problems. But Agatha is not as perfect as she seems and her love for the children masks a deeper secret.

This sounds very eerie, especially the ending!
