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 | 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

REVIEW | The Shadows Between Us – Tricia Levenseller
“They’ve never found the body of the first and only boy who broke my heart. And they never will.” I went into this book apprehensively. A few people I’d talked to hadn’t loved it, and one person dropped it early on into the group read I was doing. But you know what, I really enjoyed… Continue reading

REVIEW | The Tech – Mark Ravine
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters are fleshed out, although I maybe would have liked a little more fleshing out but they’re certainly not two-dimensional, and the story is engaging – set with a newly formed team of misfits in the FBI who appear to have caught a string of cases around a wider… Continue reading

REVIEW | Cogheart – Peter Bunzl
No one conquers fear easily, Robert. It takes a brave heart to win great battles. This was such a compelling story! And wow was it more murderous and gore-filled than I expected. It actually got my squeamishness triggered at times. Set in a steampunk Victorian England, we follow Lily and Robert as they flee from… Continue reading

REVIEW | Twilight – Stephanie Meyer
I like the night. Without the dark, we’d never see the stars. Ha! Apparently I rated this a 2 star back when I joined Goodreads (about 6 years after reading the book. That would have most certainly been a lie if I rated it when I actually read it! This book started my love affair… Continue reading

REVIEW | A Discovery of Witches – Deborah Harkness
It begins with absence and desire. It begins with blood and fear. It begins with a discovery of witches. Oooh, OK. So I watched the TV series before reading this book, but it has been a while. The TV show felt like it had been done so well, it kind of put me off reading… 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.
