My Review This is not my usual kind of read, but as it was a novella, it ticked my box and gave me the chance to try something new. I’ve read political novels in the distant past and, although they often had good stories, I usually came away not fully understanding everything because the plots… Continue reading Room 4, A Cold War Story by Suzanne Stephenson

The Edge of Life by Lena Gibson
My Review I absolutely loved this book. The lead-up to the asteroid strike was gripping — I couldn’t stop turning the pages to find out what happened next. What made it different for me was that it wasn’t just a post-apocalyptic story; it was also a steamy romance. I skimmed over some of the more… Continue reading The Edge of Life by Lena Gibson
The Body by Daniel Hurst
My Review This is the second short story I’ve downloaded from this author. I enjoyed the first, but this one was definitely my favourite of the two. There are several heart-in-the-mouth moments, multiple viewpoints, and an exciting ripple effect as the story unfolds. It’s very cleverly written. At first, I thought I was reading one… Continue reading The Body by Daniel Hurst
The Secret Gift by Daniel Hurst
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
Into the City by E J Cook
My Review Oh, what a rollercoaster of a read this was! All the adults have died from something the teenagers call The Death. They have formed “groups” led by teenagers who look after the younger ones. Day-to-day survival is a constant struggle. But there are always baddies around to make life even harder. Called the… Continue reading Into the City by E J Cook

Before I was born, my father bound me to the powerful De Vil family. One agreement, forged in greed, turned my entire future into a transaction. In four days, I’ll marry Alexander De Vil, the brooding heir to the De Vil Dynasty. My Review This book had a lot of things I don’t usually like:… Continue reading The Devil’s Pawn by Tracie Delaney
Cocktails and Charm by J K Barton
My Review Sue is deeply in love with her husband, and he adores her in return. For her birthday, he gives her something truly special. She also shares a wonderful relationship with her sister, and life seems to be flowing along happily. I liked how the author kept the story engaging as we shared in… Continue reading Cocktails and Charm by J K Barton
Not Really a Review of Shelter Me From Darkness by Katie L. Smith
I don’t usually review a book I’ve not read in full, but I thought it was worth it this time. Witches, magic and fae books are not something I generally read. Occasionally, I’ve picked up a short story or novella, and they’ve been good. So where did you get this, I hear you ask? Well,… Continue reading Not Really a Review of Shelter Me From Darkness by Katie L. Smith
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
