This book is the result of many years experience and work. Initially, and strangely, the idea to collaborate all my research into a book came… Continue reading Herbal Lore, Cover reveal
I often find myself returning to the blog of a particular writer. I feel it highly unfair, since I am enjoying his short stories so much, that the joy, (or should I say bone chilling horror?), I experience reading his work should go unmentioned. This writer is Michael Frost and his work can be found here Michael… Continue reading Writer review – Michael Frost – Horror
I have recently finished reading They Eye of Divinity by Robert E Keller, (I know I am really motoring through my reading list at the moment.) The story itself is based around the protagonist Lannon, who discovers he possesses a rare gift known as the eye of divinity. The book itself starts off immersing the reader… Continue reading Book review: The Eye of Divinity by Robert E Keller
Following my new found fandom of author Sallyann Phillips thanks to her Angel’s Blood series, I, a person who had never really enjoyed werewolves, decided to try another book in the same genre. This book was the first booking in The White Wolf Prophecy series by L.K. Kelley. I can honestly say I have never… Continue reading Book review: The White Wolf Prophecy by L.K. Kelley
I have recently finished reading Witch's Moonstone Locket by Marsha A Moore. I have to say reading this book has made me want to add more titles from this author to my ever growing reading list. The story follows the protagonist Janice who, after missing the passing of her mother, seeks a way to contact… Continue reading Book review: Witch’s Moonstone Locket by Marsha A Moore

At this moment I am not getting… Continue reading You’re Not Alone: An Indie Author Anthology for Macmillan Cancer Support
I was so honoured when I was asked if I would be willing to read and review the advanced copy of this work, plus as a big fan of the first I just couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. This book, for me, was everything I have already come to expect from this… Continue reading Book review – Angel’s Blood, Hybrid Justice – spoiler free
As you may have seen me mentioning a few times, my favourite book of 2014 was, without a doubt, Angels Blood by Sallyann Phillips. But what made this book my favourite? As a teenager I loved the work of L.J. Smith but as with teenage fiction you get to a point where you outgrow it.… Continue reading Book review – Angel’s Blood by Sallyann Phillips
