Book Review: Chilling Effect by Valerie Valdes
I’ll be honest, as soon as I heard ‘psychic cats’ I was all in on Chilling Effect. I love space opera, I love off-beat heroes, and I love cats. While banter-y ‘squad’ sci-fi books don’t tend to work for me (see my burning hatred of Aurora Rising), but there was something about Chilling Effect that… Continue reading

Book Review: A Queen in Hiding by Sarah Kozloff
A Queen in Hiding is a fantasy debut perfect for anyone tired of waiting for the next installment in their favourite series to release.

Book Review: King of Assassins by RJ Barker
I discovered the Wounded Kingdom series in mid-2019 and devoured it before the year-end — very uncharacteristic for me, a notoriously slow series reader.

This novella… Continue reading

I had heard good things about it and was incredibly curious to try it for myself. I admit I was a little wary going in because the book seemed to have some… Continue reading

Book Review: Dark Matter by Michelle Paver
I’m not usually a horror reader — I’m pretty much frightened of my own shadow — but a lovely and trusted bookish friend had been telling me about Dark Matter for ages and it caught my interest. I was totally delighted to receive a copy from my Amazon wishlist from my amazing friend Jenn in… Continue reading

Book Review: The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep by H. G. Parry
There is a certain kind of magic that you get from books about books — regardless of age range or genre, these kinds of stories will always warm my heart. I was absolutely thrilled to get the chance to read The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep before the UK publication date and was totally charmed… Continue reading

Book Review: A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe by Alex White
A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe is a book that caught my eye with its gorgeous cover, amazing blurbs (Nicholas Eames!), and fun premise. Despite buying it over a year ago, it sat on my shelf until January (typical) when I picked it up for a buddy read with my friend and… Continue reading
