    As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh – REVIEW

    October 15, 2022 / No Comments

    As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow is a title that truly deserves book of the year. A compelling story that is incredibly important. Raw, visceral, wrenching and revelatory. Have you ever read a book so powerful that you couldn’t find the words to describe just how impactful and an important narrative that it pushes upon you? That’s exactly how I feel with As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow. I always think it’s a good thing to read outside your usual boundaries – YA isn’t usually my bag but with this cover and the heartbreakingly powerful story, I couldn’t resist. A story of survival in war torn Syria, I…

    REVIEW – Welcome to Camp Nightmare (Goosebumps #9) by R.L. Stine

    December 27, 2021 / No Comments

    Welcome to Camp Nightmare is the ninth instalment of the hugely successful Goosebumps series aimed at pre-teens. This was a series that I became obsessed with as a child, and I wanted to revisit it to see if it still held up nearly twenty years later. I’ve started with Welcome to Camp Nightmare, number 9 in the instalment (I’m a bit of a rule-breaker ha-ha). This was my first outing into horror as a child and it’s been something that has been upheld ever since. I’m pleased to say that I still found this one enjoyable with plenty to keep the reader entertained. Billy has been shipped off to Camp…

    Blog Tour: Camp Death by Jim Ody

    August 30, 2021 / 2 Comments

    Camp Death was my first story by Jim Ody but it certainly won’t be my last.  I have really enjoyed checking out these point horror-type stories making a resurgence.  From the prologue, I was intrigued and a little freaked out.  A cracking storyline with a hard-hitting writing style.  The story follows Richie, a boy still trying to find himself.  Themes of unrequited teenage love, angst, and social awkwardness are relative to the problems of today’s teenagers.  What I particularly enjoyed about this one was just how Jim Ody was able to transport me to the centre of the story, like in the middle of a perfect storm I anticipated the…

    The Cousins by Karen M. McManus | Blog Tour Review

    December 5, 2020 / 4 Comments

    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. …

    The Court Of Miracles by Kester Grant | Review

    September 5, 2020 / No Comments

    Thanks to Netgalley and Harper Voyager for an ARC of The Court Of Miracles. A retelling you say? A mash-up between The Jungle Book and Les Misérables?  That was an instant moment of hell yes, I am reading that!  The Court Of Miracles is the first book in what is anticipated to be a three-book series and boy if the other two can deliver on what Book 1 has done then Kester Grant is on to a winner.  This Young Adult Fantasy brought everything to the table and more.  Espionage.  Political intrigue.  Double crossing.  The story flew through me much like an elegant swan preparing for flight.  It was smooth…

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

    June 17, 2020 / 1 Comment

    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…
