Fear For All

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.

Review: Gothghul Hollow (Tales of Mhurghast #1) by Anna Stephens

February 16, 2023 by chilcottharry Leave a Comment

Stephens grabs you by the throat and pulls you through this journey of buried truths, gothic magic, the colour purple, and plenty of savage action sequences. It’s like a fine gourmet meal!

Review: Family Business by Jonathan Sims

November 17, 2022 by Paige Leave a Comment

The book cover for Family Business by Jonathan Sims which is a grey body bag with blood on it.

Family Business is the first book I’ve read by Jonathan Sims, and it definitely won’t be my last. I went in not sure what to expect and at no point did I realise just how creepy, and insane, the plot would become. The creep-factor is cranked up so expertly that you don’t notice what’s going on until our main character, Diya, is right in the middle of everything.

Review: The Dark Between the Trees by Fiona Barnett

October 10, 2022 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Hello again dear reader, it is October and spooky season is on 🎃. So how about a review for a surrealist gothic folk-thriller?? That sounds like a bit of a mouthful but broken down in other terms this is the kind of book that is 80% just supernatural vibes surrounding a very simple plot that will have you coming out of it more than a little confused but satisfied nonetheless.

Review: Not Good for Maidens by Tori Bovalino

October 2, 2022 by Paige Leave a Comment

Oh. My. God. I LOVED this. I’ve already practically thrown the book at multiple people, although basically shouting ‘it’s about the goblin markets’ probably isn’t the best approach I could’ve gone for. Not Good for Maidens does contain a fair amount of body horror and is definitely horror rather than a YA horror (although it does have a 17-year-old protagonist). But that being said, if you like your horror gory, and creepy, and heart-pounding, this is the book for you.

Book Review: Leech by Hiron Ennes

September 27, 2022 by Paige Leave a Comment

I was completely blown away by Leech. From the very first page I was completely drawn in, and by page 60 I was hooked and loath to put the book down.

Leech is an atmospheric, gothic horror of the best kind. The atmosphere is just perfect and the setting of a remote castle in the far north just added an extra layer of dark & creepy to the story. Nothing is ever quite as it seems and Hiron Ennes really embraces that in this book.

Review: The Ballad of Never After (Once Upon A Broken Heart #2) by Stephanie Garber

September 12, 2022 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Garber’s prose is easy to read as much as it is lyrical and evocative, and her metaphors, even when a little over the top, still render her imagery amazingly, after all, their flair does fit in with the overall vibe of this story.

Review: The Pain Eater by Kyle Muntz

August 25, 2022 by Cassidee Lanstra Leave a Comment

The Pain Eater is an entirely unique novel about family dynamics, pain, and mysterious creatures that feed on that pain.

The cover of The Memory of the Ogisi by Moses Ose Utomi. The image shows a brown building with large green hands hovering over it at the top. At the bottom of the image, a shadowed figure walks through a desert with some trees. This bottom portion of the image is upside down. The tile of the book overlaps the image in green block letters.
