Review of I pink I can by Tori West

Tori West is a breast cancer survivor, so who better to write a book about surviving cancer? This book takes us on the fictional journey of one woman’s story. We know it’s fiction, but you can feel the Author bleeding onto every page. This is not bleak or depressing, though she tells it how it… Continue reading Review of I pink I can by Tori West

Review of Trafficking Innocence by Nalani Titcomb

One of the best Indie novels I’ve read in a long time. The story is set in Hawaii—what’s not to like, right? It’s dismal here in bleak old England, and this book comes with a healthy dollop of tropical sunshine included. It tells of long, hot days spent horseriding and surfing. This book has got… Continue reading Review of Trafficking Innocence by Nalani Titcomb

Review of Why Good Men Kill by James Lilley

This is a book about circumstances. It’s a wrong time-wrong place story with catastrophic effects that snowball our hero into a corner. At his back, he has one wall with nothing left to lose and, at the other, I’ve had  it with this. But we’ve shot to the end of the story, where Ed is… Continue reading Review of Why Good Men Kill by James Lilley

Review of Beneath the Sand by Jake Shuford

I started a mainstream book by my hero, Dean Koontz, about two weeks ago but have been so snowed under with work that there’s been no time for reading—and long may it continue. I haven’t left mainstream behind, but the following two reviews are both from pre-published Indie’s written by my lovely clients. Beneath the… Continue reading Review of Beneath the Sand by Jake Shuford

Review of Professor Challenger in the Serpent of the Loch by Lou J Berger.

Another Indie this time because I’ve got behind on my reading. I am a writing/reading group member where a book is selected for consideration every week. This is an absolute gem that I wouldn’t otherwise have chosen to read. It is pushing my boundaries and broadening my mind. I loved this book. The first thing… Continue reading Review of Professor Challenger in the Serpent of the Loch by Lou J Berger.

Review of Bound by Oath and Heart by Jenna O’Malley

This is one of my favourite indie authors and the best book I’ve read this year. It’s book two and the second book in the Arsinoëphorus Alliance series, the first being Bound by Fate and Blood. I have a rule when it comes to series writing. The subsequent books have to be equally as good… Continue reading Review of Bound by Oath and Heart by Jenna O’Malley

Review of Arsinoëphorus Alliance (Book 1): Bound by Fate and Blood by Jenna O’Malley

This is an intelligent vampire story. Some of the phraseology is just beautiful. MS O’Malley takes period, setting, costume, culture, etiquette and language into consideration, and the book’s tone-setting is just stunning. This vampire genre lends itself to forgetting about the myth being seeped in folklore and history. It’s morphed into a general excuse for… Continue reading Review of Arsinoëphorus Alliance (Book 1): Bound by Fate and Blood by Jenna O’Malley

Review of We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver

This is the only book in years that I have abandoned. An international bestseller and a bitter disappointment. Positives first. The writing is eighty per cent brilliant. It is intelligent and educated. Shriver has (probably) been to university. I assume she has a degree in psychology, and she knows what she’s writing about. There is… Continue reading Review of We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver

Review of The Purple Moon by Deidre Dorsett.

We all have dark days. In times of confusion, when you’re stressed, sad or just overwhelmed by all the things that life throws at you, this is the perfect book. It isn’t just a story—it’s a concept book. It has a design—and that’s to bring calm and The Light into your life. This is a… Continue reading Review of The Purple Moon by Deidre Dorsett.
