Book 1 in the Sinners and Saints series Most books slump slightly in the middle, so at 416 pages this was a lot for me – but not this one! Oh boy, this book is hot, funny, absorbing, and incredible. In other words, I loved it! We follow the gorgeous doctor, Blake, and the petite… Continue reading Crash by Kathy Lockheart

Stay Silent by Keeley Webb
I’ve had this on my Kindle for a while and can’t remember where I first saw it. As I enjoy zombie apocalypse stories and the blurb sounded good, it immediately appealed to me. However, I kept putting off reading it because I disliked the cover. Eventually, I decided it was time to either read it… Continue reading Stay Silent by Keeley Webb
DualWorld 1: Duality by Michael B. Schwartz
I wasn’t sure this would be my kind of story, as science fiction is not usually my genre, but I do enjoy a novella, and something about this one drew me in. The concept of the two worlds, one beneath and one above, was captivating. I loved how normal the “above” world felt, and the… Continue reading DualWorld 1: Duality by Michael B. Schwartz
Breaking Point by Harley Tate
Having read one of Harley Tate’s post-apocalyptic series before, I knew I would enjoy this one, and I did. These are my favourite kinds of apocalypse books: full of action, different viewpoints, challenges to overcome, and gripping journeys. Let me explain. Right from the get-go, the story develops with the sense that something is brewing.… Continue reading Breaking Point by Harley Tate
Death in Soho by Shiv Saywack
I was drawn to Death in Soho mainly because of the cover. It’s so vibrant and eye-catching. This is the first in the Alexandra Raven Mysteries, set in 1950, and I really enjoyed the historical backdrop, especially the mentions of clothing and style from that time. Alex Raven is an intriguing central character. She’s tough,… Continue reading Death in Soho by Shiv Saywack
The Forest Guardian by A. Bartlett-Needham
It’s always interesting to read something different from what you’d normally choose. This short story follows a snail, the guardian of the forest. It is beautifully written as the snail makes its way along the forest floor, encountering all sorts of obstacles. A nice, gentle read, and one you could share with children. It also… Continue reading The Forest Guardian by A. Bartlett-Needham
Luck Runs Out by J C Ward
Oh wow, for such a short book, I found this extremely good. I loved the way it was written, as it draws on all the reader’s senses, allowing you to truly feel the protagonist’s emotions. Allie has stayed inside her home for three years after a terrifying experience that left her so traumatised she cannot… Continue reading Luck Runs Out by J C Ward
Dark Warrior by Denna Holm
I’ve read this author before, and she truly is the queen of world-building. In Dark Warrior, you get a real taste of that talent. Although this is a novella, her full-length novels expand in rich detail on everything introduced here. If Dark Warrior were the only book you read, I’m certain it would leave you… Continue reading Dark Warrior by Denna Holm
The Snow of Blight by Michael B. Schwartz
The Blight of Snow by Michael B Schwartz is a story that keeps you guessing from the start. Although, I found myself suspecting the direction of the ending fairly early on, yet the journey there remained engaging and full of intrigue. I was forever second guessing myself. Much of the tension comes from Andrea’s experiences… Continue reading The Snow of Blight by Michael B. Schwartz
Survive the Night by Clare Bentley
I’d heard about this book before picking it up. Having already read one of Clare Bentley’s novels, I knew I’d get to it eventually, and I’m so glad I did! You know when you think you understand what a book is about, only to be pleasantly surprised? This was exactly like that. I really enjoyed… Continue reading Survive the Night by Clare Bentley
