    The Cousins by Karen M. McManus | Blog Tour Review

    December 5, 2020 /

    Today I’m happy to be a part of The Write Reads Ultimate blog tour for the highly anticipated, The Cousins by Karen M. McManus.  Now, for a reader to be sucked into an author’s writing style, their narrative, they need the X-factor.  Something that allows them to keep coming back…book after book.  Karen M. McManus is no exception.  There are so many reasons why I keep coming back for more with her stories.  The air of mystery, the journey and most of all the care that is given to keep loyal readers.  The Cousins is a story that is reminiscent of the I know what you did last summer trope. …

    Review: Foul Is Fair by Hannah Capin

    May 19, 2020 /

    Where do I begin with Foul is Fair?  The premise of the story was one that had intrigued me wholeheartedly.  A revenge thriller with a feministic twist.  A classic retelling based upon Macbeth that became darker and darker the further you travelled through its pages.  I want to include a trigger warning about the book before I go any further – It is a revenge tale after a sexual assault.  The premise is one that I would have expected to grab me and hold me hostage but the preceding emotion it left me with is an uncontrollable anger – the narrative within the story could be quite dangerous. It unfortunately,…

    Review: Calamity by Brandon Sanderson

    March 2, 2020 /

    Failure is refusing to fight. Failure is remaining quiet and hoping someone else will fix the problem. Damn the final book in this outstanding series was so perfect for me.  I loved every second of the journey.  I despaired, I rejoiced, I felt the heartbreak  and I laughed.  It’s been an original plot with the best characters and Brandon Sanderson’s narrative is addictive.  He draws you in with the promise of the tastiest piece of luxurious chocolate…I couldn’t resist!  If I thought that the first book couldn’t be topped in the series, I was wrong.  Wrong to the power of ten.  Calamity was amazing! Just how do you deal with…

    Review: Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

    January 11, 2020 /

    Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets is the second instalment in the hugely successful Harry Potter franchise.  The book opens up during the summer break, therefore, Harry is back with his mother’s sister, Petunia and his uncle Vernon and their disgusting son, Dudley.  The abuse of Harry is still very much apparent, and he is longing for summer break to be over, so that he can be back with his friends.  The friends that haven’t bothered to write to him all summer.  No communication.  Nothing.  He needs to be back with his own people not with family that don’t treat him like family at all, but, how will he…

    Wow wow wow I added this to my TBR about five or six years ago and I have just finally got around to reading it…why did I wait so long? This book is one of the few to have extracted such an emotive and raw reaction from me as a result of its beautiful prose. Its outstanding in a complex and devastatingly crushing way. In all honesty it made me grateful for the quiet, uneventful childhood that I experienced. Some children aren’t so lucky. Some children have to fight, have to hide, have just get through each damn day never knowing if tomorrow is going to be the day where…

    Review: Our Bloody Pearl by D.N. Byrn

    September 8, 2019 /

    I received a free copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review.  All thoughts are my own.  The world building in Our Bloody Pearl was transcendent and vibrant, the characterisation was strong and overall this was an entertaining read.  The sea calls to me; in the tow of the tide and the salt in the breeze.  But it calls to me loudest the moment the storm hits Perle hates humans.  Why wouldn’t she?  Dear god, she’s a mermaid (known as a siren) and her beauty and rawness has been captured by a complete dickwad of a pirate, Kiran.  She is ruthless, a savage and will…
