Review: The Bladed Faith (Vagrant Gods #1) by David Dalglish
The Bladed Faith is the first in David Dalgishes’ new series, Vagrant Gods. Dalglish, who has proven himself a master of action over the last several years (and is fresh off the phenomenal finale of his last series, The Keepers) has managed to publish yet another fascinating fantasy series. I came for the amazing cover and intriguing synopsis and stayed for the fantastic fight sequences, amazing storyline, and compelling characters.

Review: He Who Fights with Monsters (Books 1 – 4) by Shirtaloon
Brilliance in bound words.
A LitRPG lite / Progression fantasy hybrid series of epic proportions, mean humour and overall super fun comfort read!
Review: Zero Day Threat (The Ungovernable #1) by R.M. Olson
Zero Day Threat is a semi-finalist in the SPSFC! This is my personal review and does not reflect the thoughts of the rest of my team.
Zero Day Threat has a trope that we all love, found family. R.M. Olsen takes a ragtag group of criminals and turns them into a family, who might fight at times, but ultimately work together to perform a heist to steal a piece of technology. We mainly read from Jez’s point of view, an incredible pilot who can perform every manoeuvre possible with her arms tied behind her back, literally.
Review: Soul Stealer Graham Masterton
Soul Stealer is a horrifying and compelling page-turner that really pushes the edge of the genre and what’s readable; there’s no hiding it, some of the scenes in this book are horror in its most acute form.
Review: The Girl and the Moon (Book of the Ice #3) by Mark Lawrence
A compelling read, that grasps you from the start and drags you into a relentless ride of twists and turns ending in a breathtaking epic finale. One of the best ending to a fantasy series…ever!
