For a debut novel this is a brave topic as the time it is set in, but what Jennie Ensor brings is a thrilling psychological story that I really enjoyed and raced through. If you enjoy a thriller with a number of themes running through the story, then Blind Side is one not to be missed.

Blind Side' by Jennie Ensor is an intriguing read and I have to be honest not at all what I was expecting when I read through the blurb. There are so many elements to this book which take it beyond a simple star crossed lovers kind of romance, or even a case of obsession, and the book touches upon many socio-economic issues which are as prevalent today as they were in the time that the book was set, few months surrounding the 7/7 bombings in London. The real Big Tony (right) played a more significant role in Michael's life than his movie character (left). Who was the man who helped Michael get into Briarcrest Christian School? This book ended up being a very different read than what I was expecting it to be, but I don’t mean that in a bad way. It was deeper and more profound than your average psychological thriller and if pushed I would say it was more of romantic suspense with political tones than a straightforward psychological thriller.
