UK Publishing Date: 22 Dec 2015. 336 pages. I didn’t really know what to expect from this book. The cover featuring Teague in his sharp suit made it feel like it was setting you up for a Mr Grey style CEO power struggle. You couldn’t be further from the truth. […]
UK Publishing Date: 3 Dec 2015. 352 pages. It is hard to describe my journey through The Silver Witch. At about a quarter of the way through I was about to give up on it. It isn’t the easiest read. The pacing is very slow with little happening as the […]
