I received a free audio copy of the book from the author. In no way does this alter my review. Worms is a horror story, something in the vain of Clive Barker goes to Emmerdale Farm, a tale of normal folk thrown into a bizarre situation. James Hildebrand is a normal man – a wife, a job, struggling to get […]
Review – Cho5en by William Dickstein
I better mention before I write this review, that I got a free unedited copy directly from the author, but this in no way influenced my opinion of the book. Cho5en is a superhero tale, part of a world told in a bunch of episodes, the first of which you can download for free if you wish to give it […]
Top Five Books in the First Half of 2019
With June 2019 written into the annals of history, it’s time to reflect on the first half of the year and give a recap of my favourite books to date. Unlike the end of the year, when I only include books released in 2019, this can be a book I read in 2019, but was released in 1819. Feel free […]
Blog Tour – The Heart of Stone by Ben Galley
After reviewing The Written last week, this is my second offering in my part of Ben Galley’s blog tour in which a number of bloggers review the various works of one of indie fantasy’s finest writers. This time around, I review “The Heart of Stone”. Here goes: Task is a golem, the last golem. A creature created by magic […]

Review – The Written by Ben Galley
Farden is one of the written, a mage with his book of magic etched into his skin. Despite being spurned by almost everybody, Farden spends his days protecting those who fear him. However, when a dangerous spell book is stolen, Farden gets sent to face an old enemy of his people looking for help. Can he obtain the help his […]
Review – Recursion by Blake Crouch
Netgalley chucked a copy of this my way, and I am, as ever, grateful for their ARCs. I’ve never read any Blake Crouch, but I did watch Wayward Pines on TV, and liked the cvut of its gib. Figuring I was going to get more of the same, I happily dove into the novel. I was right. What starts out […]
Review – The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind by Jackson Ford
What a title. I mean, who would not want to read a book with a title like that? The story sounds good. Teagan has psychokinesis, meaning she can indeed move shit with her mind. Working as an “operative” for the US government, Teagan and her equally sketchy team take on jobs that require a particular skill set – Teagan’s skill […]
Review – His Majesty’s Dragon by Naomi Novik
So I’ve had this on my TBR for quite some time, but picked up the audiobook from my local library. The story is basically the Napoleonic Wars with the fun addition of dragons (which make everything better). A ship’s captain, Will Laurence, captures a French ship,and on board is a dragon egg. When the egg hatches and the dragon bonds […]
The Three of Swords by Michael Jason Brandt
The author was very kind to throw a copy of his audiobook for Three of Swords for me. There were no expectations of a review, nor were my opinions altered by this. I also have the e-book, but opted for the audio version to jump my TBR. That’s the disclaimer bit out of the way. Now onto the review! The […]
