Dead Perfect by Noelle Holten | Blog Tour
Thanks to Sarah Hardy at Books on the Brightside for a place on the blog tour and for a copy of the book. As always it’s a pleasure to be involved. Some authors just punch you right in the feels and Noelle Holton just keeps on living up to that reputation with every book she releases. When the invitation to join the blog tour for the next DC Maggie Jamieson adverture, Dead Perfect, landed in my email inbox, there was no chance I was going to pass up on it. Reading Dead Perfect was like meeting up with a best friend that you haven’t seen in months and it’s comforting…

Sight Unseen by Sandra Ireland | Blog Tour
How much do you trust the past? This is the predominant theme in Sight Unseen. When mother of one, supermarket manager, carer and history enthusiast, Sarah is stuck in a rut. Her dream career and life never came to fruition due to the uncertainty of life. She’s the safe one, never pushing the boundaries of responsibility or willing to take a risk of any kind. Little does she know a wayward employee who keeps pushing her to the limit will awaken something that she didn’t know was missing. Sometimes these encounters are catalysts for change. Sight Unseen was magical. It felt like a siren call. What mother hasn’t got to…

The Wrack by John Bierce | Blog Tour
The Wrack gives us the topical insight of a plague that wreaks havoc throughout a fantasy world. I’m a bit of a freak in a way that I have enjoyed reading about plagues/pandemics whilst living through one. The format that it was told in was refreshing and thought provoking. Multiple POV’s that give us a snapshot of lives, some are cut short and some last several chapters. The plague pays no attention to stature, race or social class. It takes no prisoners, but it will cause insurmountable amount of pain and will take your last breath if your guard is down. The Wrack gave me something that I didn’t realise…

Under Your Skin by Rose McClelland|Blog Tour
Oh my gosh, it really is a bit of magic when just a few pages into a novel that you concur that you have something quite special being shared with you. That is exactly what Under Your Skin is. The book community has been raving about this story but somehow, I just didn’t appreciate just how powerful and how much of an impact it would have upon me. I’m very wary of hyped books but in this case, the hype hasn’t been enough. This book crackles with electricity with every page turn. Reading this story is a sound investment. It is medicine for your cerebral cortex. It’s worth the emotion…

The End Of Magic by Mark Stay |Blog Tour
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…

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