News and book reviews from award-winning British author K.J. Simmill
Last night I finished reading Ceridwen and The Order of The Future Keepers by Alistair Roberts. The book itself is set just after the time of King Arthur and the author does a good job in making the speech not only easy to understand, but keeping with the time and rhythm expected, translating, where necessary,… Continue reading Book review: Ceridwen and The Order of The Future Keepers – Alistair Roberts
I have recently finished reading Salby Damned by Ian D Moore. Although I really enjoy zombie movies and series such as the Night of the Living Dead, The Day of the Dead, The Walking Dead, etc I have never actually read any zombie fiction before, I have always assumed, that although fun to watch, to read it would prove to… Continue reading Book Review Salby Damned by Ian D Moore
I recently completed The Calling by Louise G White. I can instantly tell a good book from the fact I want to purchase the next book in the series immediately after finishing it. If it hadn’t been for the fact I would have to crawl out of bed in the early hours to do so,… Continue reading Book review: The Calling (Gateway Book 1) by Louise G White
Good morning everyone. I hope you are all well. Yesterday I finished reading Critical Failures: Caverns and Creatures book 1 by Robert Bevan. Target wise I would say the intended audience was teenage/ young adult males and perhaps South Park fans. The book itself is not too dissimilar from the concept of the 80s cartoon… Continue reading Critical Failures: Caverns and Creatures book 1 by Robert Bevan
Good morning all, Last night I finished reading For King and Country by Karen Gray. I have to say that so far this year it is one of the best books I have read. The book itself follows the protagonist Morag as she starts to discover who she is and secrets she has been protected from… Continue reading Book review – For King and Country: The Saga of Thistles and Roses by Karen Gray
Hi all, I hope you are well and having a great weekend so far. I have recently finished reading You're Not Alone: An Indie Author Anthology by Ian D Moore and friends. It took me a little longer than normal to finish because I just haven't had the time to sit and read with trying to get… Continue reading Book review: You’re Not Alone: An Indie Author Anthology
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 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
