    The Court Of Miracles by Kester Grant | Review

    September 5, 2020 /

    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: The Good Neighbor by Cathryn Grant

    September 6, 2019 /

    Wow… And you thought you had problems? Insanity is only one tragedy away. This is Cathryn Grant’s first book I have read and holy shit it packs a punch.  This book is the tipping point for me to immediately add a few more of hers to my TBR (I seriously don’t need to be adding more but screw it…I can rest when I’m dead).  I love the way she has weaved a chilling tale that in all honesty is completely believable.  How real it was scared me acutely.  I’m in awe how she used the enormity of a mother’s love and twisted and twisted and twisted until it became something…

    Review: This Little Dark Place by A.S. Hatch

    August 19, 2019 /

    I’m very excited to be reviewing This Little Dark Place by A.S. Hatch.  I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review – all thoughts are my own.  My initial summary of this book for you all is – buckle up bitches, you’re in for a ride.  I had so many emotions while reading it – this usually consisted of worry, hate and not without a sprinkling of angst.  So, if you’re sitting comfortably I’ll just delve straight in – band aid clean off.  Straight off we are getting the impression that Daniel has done something terrible.  He’s writing a story to a girl named Lucy,…

    August 13, 2019 /

    If you want a read that pulls at the heartstrings, makes you weep and hug your own children that wee bit tighter then this a book for you.  This book highlights the impact, adult’s behaviour and actions affect and change a child’s psyche – for better or worse.  During these years’ children develop a sense of the person they are going to become, they learn appropriate behaviour, empathy and appropriate boundaries.  They learn the social skills that will carry them through life.  This book examines the implications of parental abuse, racial undertones and a little boy who is struggling to find his place in the world.  The cover of the…

    Review: Pan’s Labyrinth by Guillermo Del Toro & Cornelia Funke

    August 11, 2019 /

    The magic and wonder of Pan’s Labyrinth somehow escaped me the first time it came out and I have no idea how?!  If you think that this is a perfect, child friendly happy ever after fairy tale you are in for a rather nasty shock.  I think it’s always a risky business turning film into novel, but this dark fantasy ticks all my gothic needs in one full swoop.  Ophelia is a heroine that gives us all the feels, she is a character that we can relate to in one way or another.  She has that childhood naivety that we all had only to have it crushed from blow after…

    Clear My Name by Paula Daly

    August 3, 2019 /

    I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. Holy Mother of all that is decent!  Clear My Name was a heart stopper.  Do you want a book that’s going to suck you in from page one?  Do you want a book that tears up your conceptions and sets them alight?  Do you want a book that bins the rulebook on Thriller formulas?  Well look no further this book has it all in spades.  There are thrills galore, this is certainly not likened to a pair of comfy slippers this is a hellish pair of stilettos whilst you dodge a minefield…the…
