I really enjoyed reading this, even though I’m not usually a horror lover. Every story is different. Some are scary, others poignant, but every one is entertaining. I read this anthology gradually throughout the year, returning to it whenever I had the chance. Looking back at the stories, one stands out as my favourite: The… Continue reading Ghostly Writes Anthology

Where Bracken Leads by Katherine Black
I’ve read two other books by Katherine Black, and neither was anything like this one. She is such a versatile writer, and all three books are completely different. This is the second in a series of novellas she is writing. The first was The Last Session, which was rather unusual in its subject matter. Where… Continue reading Where Bracken Leads by Katherine Black
Spared, Book 5 by Graham Toseland
I don’t think I have ever read a book like this before. I cried towards the end, and not in a good way. These were tears of anger as I skimmed through the final few pages. I felt utterly cheated. When I made the graphic above, I was furious and needed somewhere to vent my… Continue reading Spared, Book 5 by Graham Toseland
Spared, Book Four, by Graham Toseland
In this book, the group of survivors grows, with some interesting new people joining them, and they kept me turning the pages. As with the other books, we also lose people along the way, but none of the losses are as drastic as those in the previous books. This is another really good read. I… Continue reading Spared, Book Four, by Graham Toseland
Spared, Book 3, by Graham Toseland
After the shock ending of book two, one thing became very clear while reading this one: Graham Toseland is not afraid of killing off well-loved characters. It all adds to the sense of shock surrounding what this band of people has to endure. Life is tough, and I became fully invested in the characters, even… Continue reading Spared, Book 3, by Graham Toseland
Spared, Book Two by Graham Toseland
There were things in the first book that I didn’t like. The abandoned animals were one, and there were also quite a few proofreading errors. But somehow, I still found myself wanting to continue the story, and here’s why. The characters and storyline draw you in as a group of survivors fight to, well, survive.… Continue reading Spared, Book Two by Graham Toseland
Everything Blue by Elizabeth Caroline
I initially found this book rather daunting because of its size: 616 pages. My usual reads are a lot shorter, but as soon as I got into the story, I just kept going. The world the author created was engaging, and I literally couldn’t stop reading as each new adventure spurred me on to discover… Continue reading Everything Blue by Elizabeth Caroline
Release Day! Pit Ponies by Jon A. Snelgrove
It’s always something special when someone releases their debut novel. I’ve read a few debuts, but never quite like this ARC, which I finished just before release day. It’s also interesting to read something different from my usual go-to books. Pit Ponies is the name given to those newbies who enter the battles for the… Continue reading Release Day! Pit Ponies by Jon A. Snelgrove
Spared, A British Apocalypse – Alone by Graham Toseland
I found this on Amazon, where they recommend other reads you may like. As I had a credit on Audible, I listened to it and also downloaded it through Kindle Unlimited. I enjoyed both formats. I’ve read a lot of post-apocalyptic fiction, so coming across a slightly different take on the genre is very refreshing.… Continue reading Spared, A British Apocalypse – Alone by Graham Toseland
The Tale of The Prince and the Spider by Sasha Hopkins
This was such a charming story, and I really liked the message it conveyed. Prince Alexander brings hope and positivity when everything appears bleak. I especially enjoyed the way the story opened, appealing to all the senses. It brought the young boy riding his horse through the countryside vividly to life. I think children will… Continue reading The Tale of The Prince and the Spider by Sasha Hopkins
