    The Echoes of Germania by H.B. Ashman | Review

    March 3, 2021 / 1 Comment

    Some things just damn well intrigue me.  History being one of them.  The Roman Empire was always a dynasty that just got those creative juices flowing.  The riches, the military prowess and the fantastical world of Ancient Rome.  Echoes of Germania is that perfect blend of fiction and history.  This book blew every expectation or preconceived idea I had clean out the water.  The prose and the dialogue were swift and laser precise, it didn’t take any time at all to fall hard for this superbly ambitious tale of love and mythology.  The novel has the beating heart of a warrior. Picking up Echoes of Germania was a gamble as…

    A Killer’s Daughter by Jenna Kernan | Review

    February 14, 2021 / 2 Comments

    A Killer’s Daughter was a very interesting read, and it was certainly unique.  In fact, I don’t think I’ve read a plot from the child of a serial killer’s perspective before.  First, I want to talk a little about what just didn’t work for me personally. The beginning of the novel started a bit quizzically.  It felt very dark and I suddenly began to question just how the events were going to play out.  I was confused at times to how all this was going to impact the protagonist, Dr Nadine Finch.  There was a lot of repetition of past events, I’m sure it only need to be mentioned once…

    The Hobgoblin of Little Minds by Mark Matthews | Review

    February 6, 2021 / 3 Comments

    The Hobgoblin of Little Minds…just how on earth do you review something of such important magnitude?  The implications, the research, and the depth of such a poetic narrative…it blew my mind.  This is the type of book that authors spend their entire careers trying to pen.  The depth of feeling took it to a higher level, the bar being set with flair and empathy.  This is the kind of horror that gets my gears churning, there is nothing more horrifying than the human condition and Matthews handed me a hand grenade.  The Hobgoblin of Little Minds was a journey.  Get that seatbelt locked in tight because you will suffer whiplash…

    Secret Santa by Andrew Shaffer | Review

    January 15, 2021 / 2 Comments

    Secret Santa was a mixed bag.  A run of bad luck has hit Lussi Myer.  She’s behind in her share of the rent, she’s lost her beloved editor role in a publishing house and she needs to find something fast!  As you delve into this kind of dark comedy horror you realise that a lot of things aren’t as they seem.  She lands the position of Senior Editor in the prominent publishing house of Blackwood-Patterson.  Well, of course there is the small matter of her interview going horrendously and the boss taking a heart attack right in front of her.  When she arrives at the hospital to visit him, she…

    Survivor Song by Paul Tremblay | Review

    December 28, 2020 / 3 Comments

    Well hold the mother-fucking door!  Allow me to go on record and declare that there will never be a better time to read Paul Tremblay’s Survivor Song than 2020, and I managed it by the arse of my pants!  Tremblay is a decorated horror novelist that I am ashamed to say have never read, until now.  The guy has a huge responsibility on his shoulders, but he is still swimming, still telling stories that stay with the reader.  This story is going to be one that I will remember and hold in regard to the year 2020.  I’m waffling (not unlike the victims of the super rabies that have taken…

    The Perfect Couple by Jackie Kabler | Review

    October 4, 2020 / 2 Comments

    The Perfect Couple – always beware any book title that has perfect in it.  Nine times out of ten it is anything but perfect.  Gemma and Danny have the perfect life, the perfect jobs, and the perfect friends.  Nothing and no-one are perfect, and Danny and Gemma are no exception.  Gemma is a freelance journalist and Danny works in IT.  Life is sweet, that is until Gemma goes on a business trip and comes home to no chilled prosecco, no dinner cooking, and no Danny.  Initially Gemma thinks he’s been held late at work but the hours tick by and still there’s no Danny.  She is finally forced to report…
