Autumn’s Eyes by J.L. Sutton is a supernatural thriller that will keep you guessing – superb!

There’s nothing quite like a good detective novel, and from the first few chapters, it’s clear that Benjamin Hadley is a detective in the most classic and incredible sense of the word. With a tragic backstory and a jagged edge to his inner monologue, he is a seeker of truth being hunted by his own demons. From mysterious vixens and supernatural shivers to suspenseful prose and gritty action, Autumn’s Eyes is a complex, dark, and endlessly mysterious book that will keep readers breathlessly […]

Review: Lucid Dreaming by Cassandra Page ★★★★★

Lucid Dreaming by Cassandra PageMelaina could be considered a fairly average woman, all things considered. She’s getting out in the world, she runs her own business as a “dream therapist,” and she gets by… just about. Of course, there is one very particular perk to her vocation: she’s half-Oneiroi; a dream spirit. Being able to control people’s dreams really gives her a leg up in the biz’. But there’s always a downside to these things, and for Melaina that downside comes in the form of a very interesting client, and the hell he brings to her doorstep. The nightmare has woken, and it’s very, […]

Review: Defensive Magic by Kate Baray

Defensive MagicUrban fantasy romance novel Defensive Magic is the third book in the Lost Library series by Kate Baray, but is cleverly written to be a standalone adventure with an established cast of exciting and loveable supernaturally-charged characters.

Giving the classic werewolf theme a reboot, Baray crafts a rock-and-rolling tale, as John Braxton, of the Lycan persuasion, has his place as the Texas Alpha in his Pack challenged after he returns from Europe to his homeland with Lizzie Smith in tow, his mortal lover, known as his mate, who must now keep up in her parallel existence in the ‘real world’ […]

Review: Skeletal by Katherine Hayton ★★★★★

SkeletalThis book contains brief scenes of rape and physical abuse.

Set in New Zealand’s gateway to the South, Christchurch, this New Adult Urban Horror is a brilliantly sinister and completely original story of despair, darkness and the horrors of teenage life in a broken home.

You won’t read anything like Skeletal anywhere. Forget Carrie, and her weird religious-driven telekinetics, or Christine, and her firestarting habits. Forget Gone Girl’s Amy and her psychotics.  Compared to Skeletal, these unbridled female psyches would seem like a picnic to Daina Harrow, our protagonist.  Daina’s life is at its absolute limits of stress, and not […]
