We Ride The Storm by Devin Madson | Book Review.
Jesus Christ on a bike! We Ride the Storm was a novel that was pure adrenaline. Storm Noun a tumultuous reaction; an uproar or controversy. There is no disillusion hidden behind the pretext of name. This book is a storm, and it aims to rile you up, as quickly as possible. This story aims to shake up the fantasy genre and it does that and more. Its an underrated gem that gleams, and the reader can’t help but fall deep for the magnificent prose and authentic worldbuilding. The author doesn’t beat around the bush and she is happy to cut your throat in the first chapter and not even be…

Winter’s Fury by A.E. Rayne | Review
Winter’s Fury…yet another Norse inspired novel that has indeed broken me. An ending that only has you downloading book two and screaming into the void! An ending that will only have you yelling the authors name, but without A.E. Rayne’s dastardly writing skills, there would be no Winter’s Fury. It’s taken me a few days to write this review because I have been on a book hungover, adrenaline intoxicated state. This is the second Norse -inspired book that I’ve read in under a week and I seriously think I’ve found my fantasy sub-genre niche. Let’s take a small walk and allow me to show you just why I ended up…

Northern Wrath by Thilde Kold Holdt | Review
Northern Wrath was a book from the gods themselves. Revenge is deadly, the swish of a blade, a whispered promise. This review is going to be exceedingly hard to write, and I hope I can deliver it the justice it deserves. Fantasy should catapult you into another dimension and Northern Wrath achieved that within just a few pages. Thilde Kold Holdt had me all in. The prologue hit like a steam train…I could smell smoke and danger and I was looking over my shoulder at the threatening shadow that promised to become known. My senses was a frenetic buzz of energy and I was totally here for it. Northern Wrath…

A Time Of Courage by John Gwynne | Review
What a freaking ride! A Time of Courage was everything I had hoped it would be. My emotions are scattered, I’m shaking but above all else I am in awe of the raw and the brutality of John Gwynne’s penmanship. I picked up the first book in the Of Blood and Bone series in the summer and it has easily become my favourite adult fantasy series, ever, and I have read a lot of adult fantasy! Get ready for a finale that is action packed, swifter than a war-hammer to the face and so heart-breaking that it brings you straight to your knees. A Time of Courage is a story…

Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman | Review
Good afternoon, and today I have a review to tie in with the Norsevember, a Norse themed readathon. It’s been a lot of fun rediscovering everything that I love about the mythology and I hope you enjoy my review of Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. “Because,” said Thor, “when something goes wrong, the first thing I always think is, it is Loki’s fault. It saves a lot of time.” NORSE MYTHOLOGY It really seemed like I had this book on my shelf forever so when Alex @Spells And Spaceships came up with a super cool readathon, I knew this bad boy was going to finally be given the attention it…

A Time of Blood by John Gwynne | Review
Please allow me a moment to breathe before getting into the guts of my A Time for Blood review. I absolutely fell in love with A Time for Dread but book two blew my mind. I have the utmost respect for John Gwynne’s writing style and his prowess of delivering a story with such raw intensity. It’s a completely different type of magic. I’ve got so many ARC copies I need to read at the moment but I just couldn’t deny what the heart wants – and it wanted to carry on with this series just like the body needs oxygen to breathe! Better a hard truth than a kind…
