#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 GUILTY PLEASURES by Laurell K. Hamilton #UrbanFantasy #Vampires
Back to work this week, so just a quick book review. I read this some years ago as part one of an omnibus edition of the first three in the series, ANITA BLAKE, VAMPIRE HUNTER. Having decided to have a paperback clear out, I wanted to read the rest of the book before adding it […]

#BookReview: THORN QUEEN by Richelle Mead #UF
I went back to work this week, a bit of a shock after 10 weeks off. This will be my new normal now I live in the Scottish Highlands: a 5 day clinic, almost solid teaching and a LOT of driving, which I undertook in my little horsebox which is equipped with full living facilities, […]

#BookReview – STORM BORN by Richelle Mead #UrbanFantasy
Whilst unpacking boxes following the grand move, I realised just how many un-read paperbacks I own, so I decided to read one! Hence, this review is for a traditionally published book by an author I already know I enjoy. Just before plunging into the fray, to make you even more jealous (as if you weren’t […]

#BookReview – SOUL DESTROYER by Elicia Hyder #paranormal #angels
First, the good news: I’ve started writing again! I’ve begun both a Rustam short story, and a Caledonian Sprite novel. Both characters are immense fun to write, and just at the moment, Cassie Lake’s sassy, snarky outlook on life resonates with me. The downside is you’ll have to wait a bit longer for the final […]

#BookReview – WICKED DESTINY by L.C. Hibbett #urbanfantasy #witches
Just squeezing one more review in before New Year, I thought this looked a little different to the usual diet of kick ass heroines, and I was right. The blending of the modern day setting with the old Celtic gods is well done, and setting the story in Dublin, Ireland, made for a fresh read. […]
