There is no messing about with this book. From the first sentence, we jump right into the action. Hurricane Delta is paying her visit. She arrives with destruction as her primary purpose, but that’s only one of Jane’s troubles. We open to the building panic as the hurricane breaks sea defences and the winds are… Continue reading Review Of Finding Isogonal Ranch: Mysteria’s Story by Charlotte Perrin

Review of Hotel Lamia by Tiffany Ann
The author says that she writes the people she’d like to hang out with, isn’t that great? Her characters are instantly likeable, and we connect and identify with them. Even the outspoken and gobby, April—she’s a firebrand you’d want in your corner if rogue vampires were out to drink you—that’s for sure. Tiffany Ann also… Continue reading Review of Hotel Lamia by Tiffany Ann

Review of H and the Giant Ice Cream by Leanne Plimmer
This is the first in what could go on to be a long run of books. As well as being a great read-along story, the books are interactive with puzzles and colouring pages for your child to enjoy.

Review of I pink I can by Tori West
Tori West is a breast cancer survivor, so who better to write a book about surviving cancer? This book takes us on the fictional journey of one woman’s story. We know it’s fiction, but you can feel the Author bleeding onto every page. This is not bleak or depressing, though she tells it how it… Continue reading Review of I pink I can by Tori West
Review of The Testament by S Lee Glick.
The first thing I want to say about this book is that Stephen Glick is a surviving stroke victim, and at the front of all of his books, he lists the warning signs of an oncoming stroke. This could potentially save somebody’s life, and I think it’s an amazingly public-spirited thing to do. It bears… Continue reading Review of The Testament by S Lee Glick.
Review of Devoted by Dean Koontz.
Back to mainstream authors for this one. Tough review to write because I feel like a disloyal wife. In a sentence, I can say that this book was okay. That stings because Koontzie has been my life-long favourite author. Sticking with the spousal analogy, it’s like a marriage that has lost its sparkle. This book… Continue reading Review of Devoted by Dean Koontz.
Review of We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver
This is the only book in years that I have abandoned. International bestseller and a bitter disappointment. Positives first. The writing is eighty percent brilliant. It is intelligent and educated. Shriver has (probably) been to university, I assume she has a degree in psychology, and she knows what she’s writing about. There is some stunning… Continue reading Review of We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver
Review of Consequences of Crime, Greed and Love by Barbara Mostella.
Set over the dual localities of Alaska and Florida, this story centres around a law firm with a side-team of private detectives. Our unlucky-in-love hero is married to the job and hasn’t had a lot of time for romance. He’s a likeable guy and gets the bulk of his excitement from the job, leaving his… Continue reading Review of Consequences of Crime, Greed and Love by Barbara Mostella.
Review of The Mechanical Magistrate by Greg Hansen
First, what a cracking start to a story. I loved it. A man on death row is executed. Then, in the next chapter, he wakes up. It isn’t a dosage error. It isn’t a strange afterlife—that was enough to hook me. I wanted to know what happens next. This was one of the best book… Continue reading Review of The Mechanical Magistrate by Greg Hansen
