#BookReview SPLINTERED MAGIC by Jilleen Dolbeare #Paranormal #UrbanFantasy
The garden is still taking up most of my time just now, so not much progress on the writing front, but that’s normal for me for the longer days and warmer weather. So, on the back of last week’s review of the prequel novelette, SPLINTERCAT, I thought I’d go right ahead and share my review […]

This year’s garden, and #BookReview SPLINTERCAT by Jilleen Dolbeare #Paranormal women’s #UrbanFantasy
I missed out on a post last week due to the much anticipated and welcome arrival of Spring! Despite the lack of warmth and sun leading up to the opening of May, the weeds have been growing like, well, weeds. With the advent of better weather there was (and still is) an urgent need to […]

#BookReview – THE BULLET THAT MISSED by Richard Osman (Thursday Murder Club #3) #HumerousMurderMystery
I’ve loved this series from the start – see my reviews of the earlier volumes: All I’m going to say is that I’m waiting eagerly for the next. I realise they might not be everybody’s cup of tea, but they are definitely mine! Blurb It is an ordinary Thursday and things should finally be returning […]

#BookReview – THE PALACE OF LOST MEMORIES by C.J. Archer #historicalfantasy #fantasy
I read this one back in December, but held off writing my review until I’d read the entire series – always a good sign! I did read one or two other books in between, but always purchased the next in this 6 book series as soon as I’d finished the previous one. The setting is […]

#Bookreview – Witch Slapped by Dakota Cassidy #paranormal #cosymystery
And another review… This one appealed to me on more than one level, being a combination of two of my favourite genres for light and easy reading, and the fun style of the cover promised a slightly jokey read, as it proved to be. It is also #1 in a series of 15, so plenty […]

#BookReview – Cordial Killing by Vikki Walton #CosyMystery
And it’s back to my backlog of reviews from last year! This one is for the second in the Backyard Farming Mystery series. You can see my review of the first one, Chicken Culprit, here. Blurb When one of the first guests at the Brandywine Inn dies, Anne has to determine which of her guests […]

#BookReview: The Snow Queen – The Complete Saga by K.M. Shea #fantasy
Another book review from my reading binge while recovering from surgery. This one was a bargain boxset, and I liked both the cover and the blurb. Blurb Rakel is a princess who should have been queen. Instead, as a despised magic user she has spent most of her life exiled on a barren mountain, alone […]

#BookReview THE UNRAVELING OF LADY FURY by Shehanne Moore #Steamy #RegencyRomance
Yet another dip into a different genre for me. I came across this one courtesy of fellow author Diana (D. Wallace Peach) who reviewed it during her promotional tour for her latest release The Necromancer’s Daughter, which I reviewed last week! The blurb sounded enticing, with Diana’s review highlighting the hilarity on offer, and I’m […]

#BookReview – THE NECROMANCER’S DAUGHTER by D. Wallace Peach #fantasy
Catching up on the reviews of the many books I read while recovering from my operations last year. This one is a classic ‘couldn’t put it down’, as I’ve come to expect from this author. The Necromancer’s Daughter by D. Wallace Peach My rating: 5 of 5 stars The queen of Verdane died in childbirth, […]

#BookReview SADDLED HEARTS by Jan Sikes #RomanticSuspense
I know I’ve promised to share the results of my December promo, and I will, but being a free promo, the results will be slower to appear and analyse, so I will get an initial post about it put together after the end of this month, and then we can try to estimate it FREE […]
