Over the last few weeks, we've found ourselves turning to books more and more in search of a bit of escapism.

After all, what's better than a good book? If you're after your next read while self-isolating, we've got you covered: introducing Melanie Blake's The Thunder Girls, the ultimate lockdown bing-read. And to make things better, it has been selected as one of Kindle's eBooks for April - so it's just 99p for the rest of the month. Filled with obsession, addiction, betrayal and revenge, The Thunder Girls charts the rise and fall of an 80’s girl band who attempt to reunite after three decades. In those decades apart life was far from the dream they were living as members of The Thunder Girls. Breakdowns, bankruptcy, addiction and divorce have been a constant part of their lives. They’ve been to hell and back, and some are still there. Can the past be laid to rest for a price, or is there more to this reunion than any of them could possibly know? Whilst they all hunger for a taste of success a second time around, someone is plotting their downfall in the deadliest way possible... Written by a true music industry insider, former music manager to the stars, Melanie Blake has been heralded as “Jackie Collins for a new generation.”   The Thunder Girls is also set to become a hit stage play, which is due to go on a national tour in 2021 after a sellout world premiere preview run at The Lowry theatre. Melanie is currently finishing her second novel, set in the TV industry which is due for publication in 2021.
