Review: Cunning Women by Elizabeth Lee

Review: Cunning Women by Elizabeth Lee

This book is an AWESOME story but my attention? Wandered off into the damn hills. Slow-burner who love witches will be all over this.

Review: The Prison Healer by Lynette Noni

Fuck me sideways - THIS IS A BOOK YOU NEED TO READ. My emotions, my heart, my MIND all left scrambled whilst I lie in the dark trying to contemplate what just happened. I am a mess ★★★★★

Review: Tall Bones by Anna Bailey
Fiction ► April 1, 2021

Review: Tall Bones by Anna Bailey

This is a dark, claustrophobic and utterly depressing story of a Whistling Ridge - a small town (with an even smaller town mentality) where religion comes first ★★★

Bullet Train by  Kōtarō Isaka
Fiction ► March 28, 2021

Bullet Train by Kōtarō Isaka

The best way to describe it is a Yakuza meets John Wick but at a Lord of the Rings pace - does exactly all the ridiculous things you expect but you're in for the long haul ★★★½

Review: The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward
Fiction ► March 11, 2021

Review: The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward

It is incredibly clever how it's done, extremely fucked up and, whilst I always judge a book by its cover (I love a pretty book), it's a stark reminder to not automatically label someone because they don't fit the mould ★★★★½

Review: Dark Lullaby by Polly Ho-Yen
Fiction ► March 5, 2021

Review: Dark Lullaby by Polly Ho-Yen

I don't like it because it feels like it could be something that could actually happen and that freaks me out. And that's why it got my full attention. ★★★★

Review: The Cut by Chris Brookmyre

What do you get if you mix a 72-year old, a film student and MURDER? This book, duh. ★★★½

Fantasy ► February 15, 2021

Review: The Galaxy and the Ground Within by Becky Chambers

Plinky, plonky planet-based shenanigans that'll make you feel things towards an alien species you never thought were possible ★★★★★
