Book review – Fable by Adrienne young

Rating -4/5 Here for the sea-faring pirate vibes, here for the grimdark waters and the storms and the sea. Fable has got to be one of the most atmospheric books I’ve ever read. If you want an adventure on the high seas, look no further. When she was 14 years old, Fable was abandoned on…

Book review- The Guncle by Steven Rowley

RATING – 5/5 Do yourself a favour, read this book. The Guncle was one of the funniest and most heartfelt books ever written on the subject of grief and losing a loved one. I know that sounds weird, how could a book about losing a loved one be funny? That is how masterfully this is…

BOOK REVIEW – PIRANESI by SUSANNA CLARKe

RATING – 4/5 I wanted to read this book since it came out because like many I really enjoyed Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell  but I did not want to read this book because, well it sounded ridiculously tedious. So when ‘The World’s Worst Book Club That No One Asked For’  took its roots thanks…

Book review – The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson

RATING – 4/5 I read a review somewhere that called this a cross between ‘ The Handmaid’s Tale’ and ‘The Salem Witch Trials’ and that is not far off. This is a dark and grim fantasy novel with strong paranormal overtones and deals with very real issues like feminism, misogyny, religion, oppression and power. I…

book review- Beasts of the night by matejs kalns

Rating – 4/5 I received the ARC for this debut novel from the author Matejs Kalns himself. And this review is a long time coming. The story revolves around the disturbing theme of modern-day slave trade and child sex-trafficking and it’s a testament to the author’s skill that, he made everything so tangible that it…

BOOK REVIEW – THE HUNTING PARTY BY LUCY FOLEY

RATING – 3/5 I had to read this one, I am a sucker for a closed room mystery and with this one set in a remote location in the Scottish highlands during a snowstorm.. I was sold! And yet I have mixed feelings about it. I love the plot and the setting. A group of…

BOOK REVIEW – Good girl, bad blood by holly jackson

RATING- 5/5 I did not think it possible for Holly Jackson to top ‘A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder’, but she has done it and I am in awe! This sequel had to live up to so much, if you have read my review of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, you know how much…

BOOK REVIEW- The whisper man by alex north

RATING – 5/5 If you leave a door half open, soon you’ll hear the whispers spoken. If you play outside alone, soon you won’t be going home. If your window’s left unlatched, you’ll hear him tapping at the glass. If you’re lonely, sad, and blue, the Whisper Man will come for you. Your search for…

MONTHLY WRAP-UP – AUGUST 2020

Apart from these six I devoured  The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley,Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco, The Whisper Man by Alex North  and Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson.  Here are my ratings for all 10 books.. A Court of Thorn & Roses by Sarah J. Maas – 3.5/5 A Gathering of…

BOOK REVIEW – The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J Klune

Rating – 5/5 This might be my favourite read this year. Absolutely Delightful! Definitely a five star read, this was so heartwarming and wholesome. The premise was simple but the book was brimming with such fantastical detail and comic potential. The witty dialogues just fly off the pages and I can guarantee that you will…
