Blog Post: Three Middle Grade Fantasy Series You Should Read

September 24, 2023 by Matt Pittman Leave a Comment

There are so many great choices when it comes to fantasy book series. Where might one who is new to the genre choose to start their journey? I’d like to give three options for the new fantasy reader. I read each of these in the last three years and found them to be great places […]

Review: Ghost Tamer by Meredith R. Lyons

September 18, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for an at times eerie but not too much read to ease you into spooky season, while also giving you all the feels of a solid character driven novel that wraps up satisfyingly but leaving that little something bothering your eye, then Ghost Tamer by Meredith R. Lyons is the next book for you!

Review: Starling House by Alix E. Harrow

September 9, 2023 by Tyra Leave a Comment

I sat down and read through over half of the book in one go, I couldn’t put it down. The prose is beautifully descriptive without being overly flowery. I’d find myself going back and letting certain lines sink in and ruminate before moving on.

Review: Dark Water Daughter (The Winter Sea #1) by H. M. Long

July 18, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

The cover for Dark Water Daughter by H.M. Long

Long has presented us with an incredible adventure that hits the ground running, full of fascinating and interesting characters, that are also so delightfully vivid, to open a series that promises so much more to come. The writing is truly atmospheric, fast paced and flowing, without sacrificing any detail, nor weighing down the story with any needless expositing. It all happens so organically that you are fully immersed in this cold pirate world.

Review: Dark Water Daughter (The Winter Sea #1) by H.M. Long

July 13, 2023 by Tyra Leave a Comment

Overall, I think this is H.M. Long’s strongest work yet. I’ve been following her on social media for some time, and she has said that she came up with the first idea twenty years ago, and that passion for the story really shines through.

Books She Read: Mid Year Check-In

July 3, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Hello again, dear reader or listener, we’re officially in my favorite month so it’s about time I look back at my standout reads of the year so far.
It has been a bit of a weird one for me, which means my reading moods were all over the place. This also means that of the several books I started, I only managed to finish reading the ones that hooked me the most, so picking out favorites out of the ones that made it is a lil hard.

Review: The Malevolent Seven by Sebastien de Castell

May 10, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

The Malevolent Seven, is one deliciously unhinged novel from start to finish, with fast paced action and a snarky narrator called Cade Ombra who, disillusioned with his past life of righteousness, has become a Wonderist, or magical mercenary for hire. He, not really of his own volition, agrees to a doomed job but the alternative is a faster death, so really, it could be worse.

Review: The Book That Wouldn’t Burn (The Library Trilogy #1) by Mark Lawrence

April 30, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Lawrence does a truly incredible job with controlling the flow of information and details the reader is privy to, masterfully winding and weaving his plot and its various timelines, in such a manner that although the twists and reveals impact you fully, they do so in a way that makes perfect sense.

Review: Body Language (Cassie Raven #1) by A. K. Turner

April 7, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

For fans of British thrillers/crime procedurals, this intriguing first novel in the Cassie Raven series shows the reader a bit more of the other side of criminal investigation teams by focusing on the mortuary techs. Specifically, bi badass Cassie Raven who shows everyone you should never stop at appearances, and she does it with style and a sharp wit

Three Mini Reviews in One

March 18, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Hello again dear reader or listener, I hope you are well!
Seen as I haven’t brought any reviews for your reading pleasure in a while, but I’ve also struggled to sit and write my usual long form ramblings because of reasons, I thought I’d try something a little different and present three mini reviews in one.
A Fantasy, a Gothic Romance, and a Romcom.

This post will wrap-up each of the books I read, but I’ve also already written Goodreads blurbs and will be posting up Amazon reviews too. Amazon especially is such an important platform for Indie/Self-Pub authors so if you’re not posting reviews on Amazon, I highly recommend doing so at least for the Indie reads. Also these are in order that I read them, not in order I preferred them. All of these books were incredible and I continue to be blown away by each self-pub book I read.
