    The End Of Magic by Mark Stay |Blog Tour

    July 5, 2020 / 3 Comments

    The End Of Magic…an ambiguous title that could suggest many things.  One thing that it does deliver on is the benchmark that epic fantasy should aspire to reach.  In very grim times it brought an element of light-hearted hilarity that was very much needed.  The magical system is very cleverly constructed in which that it is integrated seamlessly into the bones of the story.  It is believable and is manifested as an everyday occurrence.  I very much liked that aspect of the story.  Stay is a genius in that he took the usual formula for fantasy novels and turned it upside down.  Rules be damned! I instantly knew the reader…

    Guild Of Tokens By Jon Auerbach

    June 24, 2020 / 2 Comments

    Guild Of Tokens.  An urban fantasy that gives you everything you didn’t know you were craving.  A plot that warrants its highly ambitious execution, Auerbach has created a world that chews you up and spits you back out with his rich and vibrant world building.  It certainly didn’t take long to be transported into the world of questing, tokens and mystique.  I typically know if a book is going to be for me within a few chapters, but it was even shorter with Guild Of Tokens. Auerbach quick paced prose keeps the dramatic stimulus rocketing forward.  We meet our protagonist, Jen, sick and fed up with life.  Dissatisfied with her…

    Review| Call Me Star Girl By Louise Beech

    June 12, 2020 / No Comments

    Call Me Star Girl.  An intriguing title if ever there was one.  A girl comfortable in the dark.  A girl that ultimately becomes a product of her upbringing.  Tragedy, survival, and a precious memento that brings light into the darkest of days.  No childhood is perfect and for that matter neither is any mother.  Hell, I’ve made mistakes in my journey as a mother but never for one second have, I ever imagined abandoning any of my children.  This narrative was enticingly chilling – imagining a young impressionable child being left alone in the world longing for that connection with a parent and instead being faced with the selfishness of…

    Review|Where Secrets Lie (DS Karen Hart #2) By D.S. Butler

    June 2, 2020 / 2 Comments

    D.S. Butler is most definitely one of those authors who just command your attention.  Where Secrets Lie is a testament to her skill.  I ended up picking up this novel on a whim, and boy am I glad I did.  Her characterisation is a crescendo to the senses.  The validity, the moral dilemmas and the utter humanness leaves you in awe with the realism.  These characters could be members of your own family, work colleagues or neighbours.  My introduction to this series has left me aching for more and I’m looking forward to the next available moment I must delve into this remarkable series.  DC Karen Hart has a history. …

    Review: The Girls in the Lake (Beth Adams #2) by Helen Phifer

    March 23, 2020 / No Comments

    The water is beautiful.  The water will also pull you under into its murky depths without a care or a thought about race, gender or social standing.  If you don’t grant it the respect it so deserves it will unleash its power and it isn’t a battle you are going to win.  The Girls in the Lake is a steady paced police procedural which picks up a few weeks after book 1.  I felt that the first half of the novel was slower paced but it took off like a rocket in the second half.  The story is centred around the main character, Dr Beth Adams, a forensic pathologist.  She…

    ARC Book Review: Inside by D.M. Siciliano

    December 24, 2019 / 9 Comments

    I hope you are all ready to sit in the corner and rock your way through this review.  Inside, looked like the poster for the latest horror movie – this apt title hides the deeper meaning to the story.  Huge revelations, relationships pulled so taut that they threaten to snap.  This book has you standing on the precipice of hell, the flames threatening to lick at your heels, the heat seducing you within.  A house is just bricks and mortar, right?  Ha! the house was built with the devils’ hands, each brick more evil than the last.  The house embodies a threatening shadow using your fears to destroy and weaken…
