    Devoted by Dean Koontz | Review

    November 14, 2020 /

    Devoted was a hard book to read in places.  It was mostly successful in the theme of genetic mutation.  I really enjoy Dean Koontz books but, in this occasion,  it was neither a favourite or one that I disliked.  It’s very much a book that gets very strange, very quickly.  It’s a case of constantly reminding yourself that this is SCI-FI.  I’ve noticed other reviewers likening it to Koontz’ other work – The Watchers, which I haven’t read, not sure if that is to my detriment or not?  The book to me, felt like it just moved too slowly, and I did feel myself getting bored. The story in Devoted…

    Historical Fiction

    Review: The Lady Of The Ravens by Joanna Hickson

    May 15, 2020 /

    The Lady Of Ravens was a great introduction into historical fiction.  The Tudor years seemed to be filled with the brutal way that life was and also the romantic way of living with the dress, the relationships and the dreams and aspirations.  I enjoyed the experience of being transported back in time to a land where you could truly count your enemies and friends on the same hand, and not really distinguishing between the two.  I did struggle with the speed at which the story pushed forward and would have benefitted from a faster pace.  Our protagonist, Joan Guildford was an honourable friend and a lady in waiting for Queen…

    Domestic Thriller

    Review: The Fallout by Rebecca Thornton

    March 7, 2020 /

    What would you do if your five-year-old son fell and got injured on your watch.  Your best friend tells you they checked on him before the accident happens.  He was safe and happy.  You would trust that, wouldn’t you?  The Fallout examines the chain of events this accident triggers; they are catastrophic, and no one’s lives will ever be the same again.  Friendships should be filled with trust and compassion to what ends will the threads that hold them together snap.  The Fallout examines the confines and limits of friendships and the parenting circles of school age children.  The two-faced sides of mothers that spend all their time professing kindness…

    After The Flood by Kassandra Montag

    August 28, 2019 /

    I was provided with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.  All thoughts are my own.  Wow absolutely blown away Montag’s debut novel.  This is a fictional high five to feminism and female centred characters.  When the publisher put out a request for bloggers to review this I just couldn’t say no.  The cover is artistic and intriguing and if anyone knows me well, they know I’m a huge climate change worrier.  This dystopian gem ticked all the boxes and had me hungry for more…just one more page turned into just one more chapter and before I knew it was done.  This book is the so unputdownable, it’s got…
