    The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty | Review

    January 4, 2021 /

    The Exorcist.  Those two words just strike fear into any adult that is of a particular age.  Think about those words and scenes will crash into your head.  Visions of a sweet and innocent little girl called Regan.  Visions that will soon be replaced by those of a demon infested and quickly diminishing girl.  Now quickly I realised that I was going to be scared more by the book than by the movie.  I’ve seen the movie and its probably the generation I’ve grown up in but, I have seen far worse.  The Saw Franchise or Hostel to name but a few.   The Exorcist excels at atmosphere.  The way the…

    Out in the Cold by Stuart Johnstone | Review

    December 20, 2020 /

    I have been so incredibly lucky as of late in my crime novels, but Out in the Cold surpassed all my expectations.  It has an original plot, intriguing main characters and a writing style that is so sharp that it threatens to slit your throat.  If I thought that it couldn’t get better than that opening chapter, I’d be sorely wrong.  Have you ever found yourself in an untenable situation at work?  Well Detective Sargent Colyear has a master’s in it.  A situation that wasn’t his doing but takes the rap for it, nonetheless. Out in the Cold (although I’m not a huge fan of comparisons) could have easily been…

    Northern Wrath by Thilde Kold Holdt | Review

    November 22, 2020 /

    Northern Wrath was a book from the gods themselves.  Revenge is deadly, the swish of a blade, a whispered promise.  This review is going to be exceedingly hard to write, and I hope I can deliver it the justice it deserves.  Fantasy should catapult you into another dimension and Northern Wrath achieved that within just a few pages.  Thilde Kold Holdt had me all in.  The prologue hit like a steam train…I could smell smoke and danger and I was looking over my shoulder at the threatening shadow that promised to become known.  My senses was a frenetic buzz of energy and I was totally here for it. Northern Wrath…

    A Time of Blood by John Gwynne | Review

    October 18, 2020 /

    Please allow me a moment to breathe before getting into the guts of my A Time for Blood review.  I absolutely fell in love with A Time for Dread but book two blew my mind.  I have the utmost respect for John Gwynne’s writing style and his prowess of delivering a story with such raw intensity.  It’s a completely different type of magic.  I’ve got so many ARC copies I need to read at the moment but I just couldn’t deny what the heart wants – and it wanted to carry on with this series just like the body needs oxygen to breathe!  Better a hard truth than a kind…

    Thanks to Sarah Hardy at Books on the Brightside for a place on the blog tour and for a copy of the book. As always it’s a pleasure to be involved. Some authors just punch you right in the feels and Noelle Holton just keeps on living up to that reputation with every book she releases.  When the invitation to join the blog tour for the next DC Maggie Jamieson adverture, Dead Perfect, landed in my email inbox, there was no chance I was going to pass up on it.  Reading Dead Perfect was like meeting up with a best friend that you haven’t seen in months and it’s comforting…

    The Swordsman’s Lament by G.M. White | Blog Tour

    September 17, 2020 /

    The Swordsman’s Lament– what a curious and intriguing title.  I am known to like my fantasy novels to be swift, brutal and to take no prisoners.  This book was all these things and so much more.  It’s a book to read on a rainy day, the chores can wait, the miserable weather the perfect backdrop to catapult you into an amazing fictional world.  The synopsis promises blood and the book delivers that with a fatal blow.  The narrative transported me in between the pages, wandering through the bloodshed with no armour, would I survive the onslaught? Enter our protagonist, Belasko.  Good old faithful, Belasko.  Loyal to a fault, he always…
