I was very quickly drawn in to this story and became gripped by the missing person mystery set in the gypsy traveller community. I loved the language and character development and was having a lovely time until about half way through the book, when I suddenly worked out the mystery twist completely. I know it’sContinue reading “The Invisible Ones – Stef Penney – (AUDIOBOOK) – 28.10.22“

The Magpie Key (Crow Investigations Book 8) – Sarah Painter – 30.10.22
This latest installment in the Crow Investigations series is quite dark and scary, as Lydia has dealings with her boyfriend Fleet’s estranged dad who is a very bad being. The ending is very dramatic and interesting and of course I now can’t wait for the next book in the series!
A Marvellous Light (The Last Binding Book 1) – Freya Marske – 27.10.22
I did enjoy this book set at the turn of the twentieth century. It is both a polite comedy of manners (at least that is the phrase they use on Amazon to promote it!) and a period drama urban fantasy, in that the protagonist stumbles upon a magical underworld which most ‘normal’ people know nothingContinue reading “A Marvellous Light (The Last Binding Book 1) – Freya Marske – 27.10.22“
About Time: The Time Police, Book 4 (AUDIOBOOK) – Jodi Taylor – 26.10.22
Another fun romp with the loveable Time police (not so) rookie (anymore) team. I do get a bit confused with the chronology between this series and the St Mary’s books and because I was listening to an audiobook rather than reading a physical or kindle version I couldn’t flick to the dramatus thingammy at theContinue reading “About Time: The Time Police, Book 4 (AUDIOBOOK) – Jodi Taylor – 26.10.22“
The Sandman Act 3 (AUDIOBOOK) – Neil Gaiman – 22.10.22
For some reason, when I listened to The Sandman Act II it didn’t blow me away as much as Act I, but, for me at least, Act III was back to cracking form and I loved it! I was gripped with the stories which were both exciting and emotionally deep, I loved the cast ofContinue reading “The Sandman Act 3 (AUDIOBOOK) – Neil Gaiman – 22.10.22“
Keeper of Enchanted Rooms (Whimbrel House Book 1) – Charlie N. Holmberg – 20.10.22
I enjoyed this magical book set in the eighteen hundreds. An author, Merritt Fernsby inherits a haunted house in a remote part of America, and forms a relationship with the woman from the society that preserves magical buildings as they try to work out who is haunting them, while at the same time a veryContinue reading “Keeper of Enchanted Rooms (Whimbrel House Book 1) – Charlie N.

The Final Girls Support Group – Grady Hendrix (AUDIOBOOK) – 12.10.22
This is another audiobook that took me ages to finish, although this time it wasn’t my fault! My hubby and I listened to a Grady Hendrix short audiobook (Horrorstör) on a very strange and emotional road trip during lockdown to attend my mum’s funeral, and I managed to persuade him to listen to another onContinue reading “The Final Girls Support Group – Grady Hendrix (AUDIOBOOK) – 12.10.22“
Taken: Alex Verus Novel 3 – Benedict Jacka – 09.10.22
I’m still enjoying this urban fantasy series set in modern day London’s magical underworld. Alex worries for his own apprentice, Luna, when several young trainee wizards start disappearing and things come to an exciting head at a magic dueling tournament in an old enchanted house in the countryside! I have these books in my AmazonContinue reading “Taken: Alex Verus Novel 3 – Benedict Jacka – 09.10.22“
Six of Crows – Leigh Bardugo (Audiobook) – 06.10.22
I enjoyed The Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, so when this was on sale at Audible I bought it. Well, it took me a very long time to finish it. I started it and got bored, so I listed to a couple of different audiobooks, then tried again, then got bored again, and left it,Continue reading “Six of Crows – Leigh Bardugo (Audiobook) – 06.10.22“
The Curious Life of Ada Baker – Karen Hamilton-Viall – 06.10.22
I won this book on a twitter competition and I remember entering because I thought it sounded just like the kind of book I enjoy. There was no obligation with the prize to write a review. (This is how I began my review which I posted on Amazon – I know from experience how valuableContinue reading “The Curious Life of Ada Baker – Karen Hamilton-Viall – 06.10.22“
