    Review: Red Country by Joe Abercrombie SPOILERS!!

    September 9, 2021 /

    Red Country for me anyway, was a bit of a departure for the First Law Series.  I was very excited at the prospect of a western type fantasy novel but it fell flat.  Why do you ask?  Firstly, it was slow as all hell.  I understand that a new novel based in an entirely new area needs build-up but it just failed to grasp my imagination, unlike, the previous novel, The Heroes.  Also, Abercrombie is renowned for his stellar characterisations, but, one character, in particular, Cosca ended up falling, it isn’t what was expected from him. He ended up turning a bit sociopathic and child-killing is something I thought that…

    Review: The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie

    September 5, 2021 /

    “Armour …’ mused Whirrun, licking a finger and scrubbing some speck of dirt from the pommel of his sword, ‘is part of a state of mind … in which you admit the possibility … of being hit.”― Joe Abercrombie, The Heroes What kind of magic does Joe Abercrombie spin?  From first reading The Blade Itself I have become entranced at both his unparalleled skill of taking a small minor character and transforming them into huge players of the game, he also is a supreme creator of intricate plots.  This has been my favorite installment of the series by far, the NORTH fascinates me.  I loved the POV’s from Logen, dogman, and Black…

    Review: We Were Never Here by Andrea Bartz

    September 3, 2021 /

    Andrea Bartz is back with an all-new psychological thriller.  Living out the rest of your twenties abroad sounds like the best way to live, but if you had an overbearing, manipulative, and gaslighting best friend would it be worth the bother?  Backpacking in Cambodia and Chile should give them memories galore but what if the type of memory you are left with consumes you with guilt and tears apart your psyche?  This is the situation that Emily finds herself in.  Destructive and compulsive is the yarn spun in We Were Never There.  One death looks like an accident but what if two adds up to more than a coincidence.  The…

    Blog Tour: Camp Death by Jim Ody

    August 30, 2021 /

    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…

    Review: Devil’s Fjord by David Hewson

    August 19, 2021 /

    Dark and hypnotising. Devil’s Fjord is a Nordic based mystery that tantalises with its mystery and its intrigue. Devil’s Fjord really excels at displaying its tragic atmosphere. In its beauty is a life that is behind the times and traditional to the Faroe Islands. Its inhabitants are ruled by the waters and fishing is all they know. The young have vanished to find a life that will enrich them beyond anything they could find in Djevulsfjord on the isle of Vagar. Those that are left, find themselves in astronomical amounts of debt to the Thomsens. What they give with one hand they take with the other. Landowners and with owning…

    August 18, 2021 /

    Ouija is a book that needs to be read by all fans of Point Horror, Fear Street and Goosebumps.  Boy, has reading this eerie story taken me back to my first experience of reading for fun!  It gave me the chills, the excitement and it brought me a taste of nostalgia.  I won’t lie, I had a lurking sense of trepidation going into this story.  Could I still get on board with Teen and Young Adult based narratives?  Did it have a storyline that I could still connect with?  Fear not, as it delivered on all those and still managed to get my adrenaline pumping. Reading Ouija taught me that…
