Wake the Dead by Sophie Whittemore
Lili is a surprisingly relatable demon Set three months after the chaos of Catch Lili Too, Wake the Dead brings back most of the characters we met in 2021 and introduces new ones, including a human called Stace who is so cool even the fae can’t believe they’re not one of them. There’s a lot […]
Consecrated Ground by Virginia Black
A stunning and beautifully dark debut We all have authors whose books we know we’ll enjoy reading whatever the story is. Bywater Books is the publisher equivalent of that. Whenever I open a book they release, I know I’m in for a treat. I don’t love them all but they’re all exciting and interesting and […]
Payback’s a Witch by Lana Harper, narrated by Jeremy Carlisle Parker
A very enjoyable listen I needed a light audiobook to finish the year and I asked my friend Jude for an audio recommendation. I’ve seen this book some time ago but as I’m not a fan of the fantasy genre, I never checked it. I’m glad I did now because it was very entertaining. Emmy […]
Payback’s a Witch by Lana Harper, narrated by Jeremy Carlisle Parker
A delightful return-to-hometown story… with a twist So, this was entirely delightful… Magic and witches, broken hearts and revenge, friendship and kinship, romance and steam… I had a fantastic time listening and wish the other books in the series were sapphic as well. Alas, they are not, but this fact has no bearing on how […]
The Scratch Daughters by H. A. Clarke
I can’t wait for book 3 How do I love thee, let me count your witchy ways. Finally, after two years I got to read the sequel to the magical realism/paranormal YA book The Scapegracers and all I can say is that I can’t wait for book 3. The Scapegracers was an oddball little book […]
Fury by Jen Lawrence
I’m totally in love with these worlds As good as Guardian is, Fury is next level. Lawrence must have been writing on the sly for a very long time because this book rolls along at a comforting pace as a tale told long into the night by a trusted friend. No glitches, no bumps, just […]
I absolutely recommend this one to readers looking for good Halloween books
Review of Payback’s a Witch by Lana Harper I had so much fun with this! This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2021 and I’m happy to say that it was just as good as I hoped. The vibe was The Other Woman/John Tucker Must Die with some the Goblet of Fire, but […]
A crazy but entertaining read
Review of Buried by Lizzie Strong This was pretty crazy. If you have read my reviews this year you might notice that I have been complaining about reading a lot of well written books, but I’m just not connecting with them. Funny enough, the opposite was true with this book. Now, I don’t mean that […]
A cosy fantasy romance

If only she could stop recoiling from his touch… Once married she’ll have no choice but for the moment, she hides behind society’s rules, which are as restraining as they protect her. Late getting home […]
