UK Publishing Date: 6 Aug 2015. 336 pages. Historical fiction really isn’t my thing. I’d much rather read a factual account of real events that have taken place. So when I started reading this book I had no idea what it was about. I was quite surprised when I realised […]
UK Publishing Date: 22 Oct 2015. 736 pages. I can honestly say that it took me the best part of a month to get through this book. “A Little Life” is a deceptive title for a tome that weighs in at over 730 pages and is one of the most […]

UK Publication Date: 27 Oct 2015. 496 pages. I rarely read period dramas, unless they were written in the time that they are set. Think Wilkie Collins or Dickens and you are along the right lines. Modern day versions of these books tend towards the melodramatic and I normally find […]
UK Publishing Date: 22nd Oct 2015. 496 pages. The Chocolate Lovers’ Christmas is the third book in Carole’s Chocolate Lovers’ Club series but if you haven’t read any of the other books that precede it you won’t really miss out too much. Carole does such a great job of creating […]

UK Publishing Date: 13 August 2015. 425 Pages I thought that I was going to like this book when the opening quote was from Wuthering Heights. “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same”. It was a very promising start. Imperfect Love is a book of […]
I’ve always thought that Hamlet was one of the better known of Shakespeare’s plays. I was pretty sure that almost everyone knew the tragic tale of the Prince of Denmark. Not so, judging by the people sitting around me watching this production. The middle aged Cumber-bitches sitting behind me swigging […]
UK Publishing Date: 20 Oct 2015. 304 pages. This is the first book I’ve picked up by Max Wirestone and I’m sincerely hoping that there will be many more books in the Dahlia Moss series. I was kind of dubious when I started the book imagining Dahlia to be something […]
UK Publishing Date: 29 Sept 2015. 563 pages. This is an anthology of paranormal stories that veer to the darker end of the spectrum. I normally tend to steer clear of the short story genre but when I saw that Rachel Caine had the lead story in here I decided […]
UK Publishing Date:22 Sept 2015 The books description says that it is a modern day Gatsby take. At this point I slap my forehead and wish I’d read this before I go to write the review because it was bugging me the whole way through. I couldn’t put my finger […]
UK Publishing Date: 6 Oct 2015 Romancing the Dark in the City of Light is one of those books that throws you a curveball. The story is ticking along nicely and then you realise what has actually been happening and you just didn’t notice it. Summer Barnes has just moved […]
