My Review Because The Secret Gift is now my third book from Daniel Hurst, I didn’t read the blurb. I didn’t need to as I knew it would be a good story. I hadn’t expected it to feature Christmas, but why not? It’s not all about the festive season, but that where the action happens.… Continue reading The Secret Gift by Daniel Hurst

The New Year’s Eve Party by Daniel Hurst
My Review This was a fun short story. I hadn’t come across this author before and was looking for something brief to round off the month. It was clever because it wasn’t quite what I expected. A couple heading to a New Year’s Eve party meet two other couples, one of whom makes them a… Continue reading The New Year’s Eve Party by Daniel Hurst
Migglesworth Malevolence, a short story by Carrie O’Leary
My Review I really do love a short story, especially when it is as concise and well written as this. I loved the way it started with a little guessing game. Who is this person and why does she sleep during the day? You immediately make assumptions but, as it is told in the first… Continue reading Migglesworth Malevolence, a short story by Carrie O’Leary
New Year’s Day
On New Year’s day many families have their traditions. What is yours? How do you spend New Year’s Day?

When The Screen Goes Blank by Stephen Simpson
My Review What an entertaining little read this was! And I do mean little. It was just twenty pages long. Small, but perfectly formed. Our protagonist tells the story and the screen in the title is her Kindle. At night, when the house is quiet and you are alone in bed, everything can seem scary,… Continue reading When The Screen Goes Blank by Stephen Simpson
Abscond by Abraham Verghese
My Review This was very different to what I’m used to reading. It was interesting in parts. It was also odd in parts, and to be honest I’m not sure I loved it. Ravi is a thirteen year old Indian boy and the story is of his coming of age. It begins with his view… Continue reading Abscond by Abraham Verghese
Invaded by Aliens, my Non-Review.
Invaded by Aliens by Adrian Blue Science Fiction/Alien Invasion Rating: 5 Stars I thought long and hard about whether to post this book—or to admit I even read it. But I wanted to acknowledge that I had, and to add it to my collection of books I’ve read this month. I’d just finished a post-apocalyptic story and… Continue reading Invaded by Aliens, my Non-Review.
Would You Make An Arrangement For This?
A book review. The Arrangement by Paul White Gritty/Mystery Rating: 5 Stars Kindle Unlimited 38 Pages This story started out with a man’s arrest for a woman he didn’t know. As it unfolded, it twisted and turned in ways I hadn’t foreseen. It should have been a story of a special love. Romance had bloomed… Continue reading Would You Make An Arrangement For This?
My Review of The Phone Call by Paul White
One to leave you guessing! The Phone Call by Paul White Crime thriller Short Story Rating: 4 Stars 29 pages This is a short, brutal short story. The introduction sets the scene for the kind of life this man led. Although, we don’t meet the protagonist until the second part. Because it’s told in the… Continue reading My Review of The Phone Call by Paul White
