    Blog Tour| Crossing In Time by D.L. Orton

    June 17, 2020 /

    Crossing in Time truly does transcend genres, I never felt I was able to fully pin down a specific genre.  It’s heavy in science fiction with a romantic element underpinning its DNA.  It drums a love story through its veins, one that lasts the ages and time and you should be aware of this if you delve into its pages.  I was gifted an audio copy of the book and I wasn’t disappointed at the realism and the sheer talent of the narrators in bringing this story to life.  The passion they both felt for the story was conveyed and it made it a truly immersive experience.  I’m such a…

    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: White Rose by Kip Wilson

    November 24, 2019 /

    I am a huge fan of Historical Fiction.  This refreshing take on Young Adult Historical Fiction was just sublime.  It was such a beautiful take on prose and I enjoyed it immensely.  It is a novel written in verse and let me be honest I haven’t ever really connected with a novel being written in this format.  Kip Wilson however, nails the craft and had me hungering for more…I inhaled this book in a mere afternoon.  The writing style just blew my mind.  This author now has a firm fan in me and I just hope that their other books have a similar effect because they are getting added to…

    Review: Other Words For Smoke by Sarah Maria Griffin

    September 25, 2019 /

    A Beautiful story with such poetic flow.  A strong and prominent storyteller.  A story that seeps magic, betrayal and wonder straight from the heart of the pages.  The author uses the English language like an artist uses a muse.  It’s well-crafted and unique.  The synopsis jumped out from the screen at me.  I just adore anything magic.  Talking cats, magical creatures behind wallpaper and a mysterious room with neon lights.  I loved everything this book stood for.  The cover is beautiful, and it just screamed for you to read it.  The horror side of the story really took me by surprise, and on the most part it worked very well. …

    September 17, 2019 /

    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…

    August 29, 2019 /

    Thank you to the publisher for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.  All thoughts are my own.  Oh, how I wanted to enjoy this book.  I had been saving this one for a while, waiting until the right mood took me, waiting until I was ready to fully immerse myself in the world of a very special retelling…essentially A Little Mermaid retelling.  I love a retelling, but this just fell flat for me and I can’t tell you just how disappointed I am that this was the case.  I was grateful that the author/publisher inserted a trigger warning at the front…
