This book was incredibly hard to put down once I had started reading it. The world is dark and gritty, filled with fragile alliances, betrayals around every corner, and vampires! Each character has been wonderfully crafted to suit the setting and the circumstances in which they find themselves. Everyone had an agenda, and who to trust is a constant question.

A Tempest of Tea has everything you want from a great fantasy novel. It ends on a cliff-hanger and I cannot wait to read the concluding novel!

In this gripping conclusion to the Heaven Trilogy, the stakes could not be higher as the final battle for Heaven looms. Having found the help he was looking for, Dante now has to convince them to join him to save everything that he cares about. Raphael must overcome the sins of his ancestors to finally free the demons and put an end to the war.

I really enjoyed the final book in this trilogy. It kept me wanting to read more from the first page to the last. The end battle is action-packed, raw and emotional. The conclusion for the main characters is fitting and fully satisfying.  

I highly recommend this series. 

On the run from Heaven, Dante and Raphael must follow the path laid out for them whilst dodging old and new foes alike. Their journey was full of action and mystery, whilst allowing their romance to grow. Away from the court, there was more opportunity for tender moments between them and for them to be able to explore their relationship in great depth.

I think I enjoyed this second instalment more than the first. Away from the political restraints, it gave both main characters an opportunity to shine. The supporting cast gained further roles in this novel and I am looking forward to seeing how the series concludes.

I thoroughly enjoyed this action packed thriller set on the fictional lunar city of Artemis.

Artemis has its own economy and like on Earth there are rich and poor elements of society. The protagonist Jazz is in the latter category.  As well as her day job, she works as a smuggler procuring banned items for the city’s inhabitants. Unable to refuse the offer of a lifetime, when a job turns bad Jazz finds herself on the run from assassins whilst trying to fix the mess she has made.

This novel would translate well into a TV series. It has everything; action, thrills, mystery, a strong female lead and a great cast of supporting characters!

Right from the start I knew I would be hooked! When sworn enemies, Talasyn and Alaric are forced to come together for the greater good, neither of them are ecstatic about the new arrangement. Yet hate and love are closer than either of them realise and a different kind of relationship begins to grow between them.

I think what I loved most about this book, is that it is a realistic portrayal of a war, the outcomes and also how two people from opposite sides are being used by their respective kingdoms. Both are trapped and also fighting each other, whilst failing to see how much they actually have in common. There are so many factors at play, I cannot predict what direction the series will go in and I love this! I cannot wait to read book 2!

HEX is an real page-turning chilling horror story in a small town setting. Tormented for hundreds of years, the town has put into place its own set of rules for keeping its dark secret. However, the younger generation want out and this causes the carefully thought-out plans to begin to unravel. 

The backstory / lore is extremely well fleshed out and believable, lending an almost sympathetic edge to the witch. With so many horrifying twists and turns, if you are looking for a spooky read this Halloween season, I highly recommend giving HEX a try! 

The Travelling Cat Chronicles tells the story of Nana, a stray cat who was rescued by his current owner Satoru. Due to circumstances, Satoru is unable to keep Nana. So, with his beloved cat, he visits 3 of his dearest friends to try and find Nana a new forever home. Switching between Nana and humans’ POVs, you get real depth and insight into the characters and Satoru’s sad reason for having to rehome Nana. The parts written from Nana’s POV perfectly capture the world-view through a cat’s eyes.

When I started this book, I felt unable to put it down until I have finished the very last page! A beautiful novel, which cat lovers will enjoy!
