    Banished by Lou Yardley | Review

    October 11, 2020 /

    Banished is the newest offering from one of my favourite indie authors, Lou Yardley.  She teaches us that deception is a fruit best left well alone.  Every village has its secrets and Elkbury is no exception, the residents will find this out the hard way.  Wren, Hedwin and the villagers will come to regret no questioning everything.  On the outside it seems they all have the perfect life – a safe village to live out their lives, no death and disease, all thanks to a secret ceremony called The Banishment.  You know what they say about illusions, they are there to be shattered.  The Banishment ceremony should ensure that murder…

    Misfits by Hunter Shea | Blog Tour

    September 12, 2020 /

    misfits /ˈmɪsfɪt/ noun a person whose behaviour or attitude sets them apart from others in an uncomfortably conspicuous way: “a motley collection of social misfits” The definition behind the word is a whole spectrum of meanings.  What is your definition of normal and do you fit nicely inside it.  I would probably class myself as a bit of a misfit, I don’t follow the crowd, I don’t follow trends and I’m a massive geek.  This is a story about a group of five friends, those who have never fitted in, who have never fitted into that perfect mould that society has deemed, normal.  The stoners, the kids with traumatic childhoods and…

    The Raven by Jonathan Janz | Blog Tour

    September 11, 2020 /

    What do you associate with an awesome reading experience?  The final page has been digested, the last word consumed, and time feels like it has literally stood still.  The Raven made me feel like I was in a different place…in a different time.  The book felt like it was magnetised to my fingers.  If I had to put it down to do you know, adulty things, I ended up looking for any excuse to get straight back to it.  I’m ashamed to say that this was my first Jonathan Janz book, but it will a gazillion per cent not be the last.  The Raven was fully inhaled in one sitting…

    Diabolica Britannica: A Dark Isles Horror Compendium by various authors

    September 3, 2020 /

    How the hell do I write this review? Diabolica Britannica is quite frankly everything that is good about the horror fiction genre neatly compacted in a kick ass anthology.  The genre is producing some of the best fiction out there at the moment and it’s getting harder to get scared and shocked but this awesome work of art packs a swift punch to jugular.  A Dark Isles Compendium instantly took me to the freezing and rugged coastline of the Scottish highlands,  the brutal streets of London and the isolating manor houses watching your every move, so it can make theirs!  As much as I love the genre, sometimes, the titles…

    Crossroads by Laurel Hightower | Review

    August 10, 2020 /

    Crossroads…a fork in the road, a decision to be made, life taking a turn and lives altered.  Laurel Hightower has taken a certainty in life, death and given it a complex meaning, a burden, a floating through life trying to grasp the ending but never holding onto that tangible point.  Chris is existing through life after the death of her only son.  He is taken in the most tragic circumstances well before his time, a car crash.  Greif is crushing her, minute by minute, hour by hour.  A natural reaction to an unnatural event, but what would you do to have them back? Look at the cover – the desolation,…

    Wilthaven, what a fucking ride you were!  This book encapsulates everything that indie published can offer.  Would I have heard of it if I weren’t approached to review? No.  Did I enjoy the tale told, absofuckinglutely?  The title of the book gives nothing away – a world with rolling hills, luscious green grass, stunning lakes and an evil that rules over them all.  Not exactly a utopia but you can’t deny that you aren’t intrigued.  A deep and compelling story with writing as sharp as a tack.  With a synopsis that pulls you in like a long-awaited fish, my kindle was gripped beyond an inch of its life. “The World…
