Fagin’s Boy by Christina E. Pilz

I’ve had this book sitting on my Kindle for years now (I actually bought it in 2017 – yikes!) and meant to buy the rest of the series but for some reason or another didn’t get round to it until about a week ago. Big mistake. Huge. Because this book (and series, now that I’ve bought and read the whole lot in under a week!) is fantastic. my review Before […]

Edge by M.E. Kerr

I often have difficulty with reading short stories, especially when they are gathered together in an anthology. I like my fiction meaty; massive tomes are my bread and butter.

It’s par for the course with Jessica Wakefield, one half of Sweet Valley High’s beloved (or not!) twin sisters who are the envy of everyone who comes across their path. The golden-haired 16 year-old beauties Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield were the main protagonists of this long-running series. I think a little background is needed here. I was a […]

World After by Susan Ee

World After is the long-anticipated sequel to Angelfall – a self-published novel by Susan Ee which seemed to sprout wings and take off (bad pun intended!) when it was released two years ago. Angelfall was a massive success which seemed to take the book blogosphere by storm. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the sequel especially since the first book ended with a colossal cliff-hanger. But the real question is does […]
