Seven Devils by Elizabeth May & Laura Lam

I wasn’t going to review Seven Devils as this book wasn’t for me, and I didn’t think that I could write a useful review. However, I’ve decided to post one anyway, partly because I’m a weirdo and want to catalogue ALL of my reading via my blog, and also because I want to justify spending money on […]

Author Interview: Essa Hansen

It’s been five days and counting since I finished Essa Hansen’s Nophek Gloss, and I still can’t get it off my mind! Before I even sat down to write my 5-star review of this brilliant debut novel, I went out on a limb and contacted Essa for a blog interview, and she was kind enough […]

The Wolf and the Water by Josie Jaffrey

I enjoyed her humour and take on vampires, so I was excited to receive a copy of her new YA novel, The Wolf and the Water. Plus, I do love that […]

The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart

I read The Bone Shard Daughter back in May, so I’m thrilled that I can FINALLY tell you how fantastic this debut fantasy novel is. Being my favourite read of 2020 so far, I’ve even pre-ordered two different signed editions (roll on September)! If you’re looking for an epic fantasy escape, you will love this […]
