    The Echoes of Germania by H.B. Ashman | Review

    March 3, 2021 /

    Some things just damn well intrigue me.  History being one of them.  The Roman Empire was always a dynasty that just got those creative juices flowing.  The riches, the military prowess and the fantastical world of Ancient Rome.  Echoes of Germania is that perfect blend of fiction and history.  This book blew every expectation or preconceived idea I had clean out the water.  The prose and the dialogue were swift and laser precise, it didn’t take any time at all to fall hard for this superbly ambitious tale of love and mythology.  The novel has the beating heart of a warrior. Picking up Echoes of Germania was a gamble as…

    All About Us by Tom Ellen | Review

    September 16, 2020 /

    All About Us is the kind of story that you would want to read on a rainy day, the raindrops dropping onto a tin roof, hypnotising you and carrying you away into the story.  It’s not typically a genre that I often read but you know what people say about change.  Tom Ellen has created a story that comes straight from the heart – It’s as addictive as chocolate.  I want to shout out loud about how good this magical tale really is.  He has that perfect formula for making a novel stand out in an oversaturated market and makes it more than memorable. We make decisions when we are…

    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…

    Voyager (Outlander #3) by Diana Gabaldon

    July 24, 2019 /

    We continue onwards with Jamie and Claire’s story with Voyager.  Twenty years have passed since Claire passed back through the stones again leaving the love of her life behind and emerging back in the future Pregnant with Jamie’s daughter, Brianna.  Can an absent love survive the test of time?  A tale of a lost love, duty and pain.  I was really looking forward to getting stuck into this one but there was a few things that left me feeling supremely disappointed, this is upsetting as I was fully invested in Claire and Jamie’s story. I started this book over a week ago (this is an unusually large amount of time…

    June 26, 2019 /

    First of all let me start this review by saying that the characterisation and world-building by Gabaldon is stunningly beautiful. Your mind runs away with you imagining a dangerous but flawless highland countryside. It’s always a time I’ve wanted to have a peek at. Being a very proud patriot member of this wee country, it brought a sense of pride where we have come from. For where all love is, the speaking is unnecessary. Claire Randall…Can stand toe to toe with any Highlander We first meet English nurse, Claire in 1945 in the Scottish Highlands with her husband Frank. This is a second honeymoon for them after the spoils of…
