REVIEW | Murder at the Museum – Alasdair Beckett-King
SYNOPSIS Many people go their whole lives without noticing anything that is afoot, amiss, or even untoward; without ever experiencing that toe-tingling, stomach-twisting sensation that a mystery is about to unfold. Not Bonnie Montgomery – the world’s best detective. Not that anyone (other than Grampa Banks) has heard of her… But they might have heard… Continue reading

REVIEW | A Cup of Tea at the Mouth of Hell (Or, an Account of Catastrophe by Stroudmire McCloud, Demon) – Luke Tarzian
Synopsis from Goodreads: BRIEFLY, A WORD ABOUT ORDER Order is the focal point around which existence revolves. Without order there is only chaos. And in the halls of Damnation (pronounced Dam-NAWT-ion, thank you kindly) the first sign of impending chaos is a cup of tea made without the water having first been well and properly… Continue reading

REVIEW | Of Honey and Wildfires – Sarah Chorn
This was such a breath of fresh air. Not an overly happy one, as the storyline is not light, but I loved the way the world was built up.

REVIEW | Gothikana – RuNyx
THIS. BOOK! Ok, completely different from what I’ve read before for the most part, but I freaking adored it.

REVIEW | Empire of Gold – S.A. Chakraborty
OK, this series is catapulted to one of my favourites. It’s been a joy and a breeze to read, despite its size. And that ending was amazing, if not bittersweet for me – I cried a lot! Although the end didn’t surprise me, it wasn’t quite how I wanted it to go* I love the… Continue reading

REVIEW | City of Brass – S.A. Chakraborty
“You’re some kind of thief, then?” “That a very narrow-minded way of looking at it. I prefer to think of myself as a merchant of delicate tasks.” I need to start Kingdom of Copper ASAP! What a whirlwind of an ending! And I found the journey fascinating and captivating the whole way truth be told… Continue reading

REVIEW | Mexican Gothic – Silvia Moreno-Garcia
I think I’m going 4.5 on this one – I can’t make my mind up, so let’s go down the middle. It didn’t scare me, but it is definitely messed up! You get the “somethings not right vibe” pretty much from the start, and then things just start exponentially ramping up – trigger warnings pretty… Continue reading
About Me
Books and food enthusiast. I discovered a love for reading in my late teens, so you’ll see me catching up on older series quite often. I also love to travel around the UK, where I live, and picking up some crafty hobbies – I hope to share snippets of this amongst all the book content. Other interests include gaming, podcasts, drinking too much tea, and trying to personify autumn.
