So after recently finishing CoHo & Tarryn Fisher's gem Never Never,  I felt inspired and quickly whipped up a little poster with one of my favourite quotes during my lunch break. After I finished the book, I kept seeing a dark and rusty orange combined with a little   turquoise.    Sort of came to mind when thinking of Silas and Charlie together. I wanted to incorporate a bit of the eeriness I felt, and this is what came out of it.  Hope y'all like it.    I really recommend getting the ebook if you haven't already. It's fairly short compared to their usual stuff, as it's a Novella, but don't be fooled by its length... It'll knock you sideways.  Cheerio for now, folks.  x

All Fall Down by Ally Carter My rating: 3 of 5 stars Super savvy spy-thriller by NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Ally Carter. Need I say more?! Recipe for kick-ass spy thriller: 5 spoonfuls of dark espionage 4 ounces of HOT Russian love interest 2 tsp of ambiguity add 1 ounce of creative genius. Stir generously and consume with care. Oh, Carter, you've done it again... All Fall Down     is the first in Ally Carter's Embassy Row Series and starts off with a bang. The story combines the joys of a good thriller with the right amount of fine-tuned conspiracy. I must confess that I wasn't the biggest fan of the Heist Society books, for whatever unknown reason I couldn't quite connect to the characters. I tried and tried, but in the end decided to move on. I know, big, fat sigh. Regardless, I was really excited for this one to hit the 'virtual' shelves. Everyone knows I'm sucker for a good spy-thriller wit...

Alright, deep breaths guys... I'm really not quite sure where to begin with this.  First, I'd like to thank Colleen once again for sharing her talent with us; her very faithful readers.  Secondly, I think it's most impressive that there has not been one single book of hers that I didn't like. I mean, not one, not even close and I think that is quite something. I'd say I'm quite a tough cookie to break and certainly have quite high standards when it comes to literature in general. Long story short; I'm quite hard to please. Colleen however has found a way to waltz right through that tough exterior and hits the target every time.   If I'm totally honest with you, I have the strangest feeling Colleen is actually a Witch. Like, a fully fledged magical being with the most wonderful imagination. So if you're reading this right now and you're thinking, ''heck, what is this chick on about... magic isn't real...''  I urg...

Format: Kindle, Paperback 360 pages Average rating: 3.94 Our rating: 3.5 out of 5 Literary awards: Nominee for Next Generation Indie Book award ('13) & The San Diego book awards ('13) Buy it here: Amazon | Barnes & Noble  | As with any other review copy, I start off slow, read every page carefully, highlight favourites and bits that I think need changing... but not with this one. Oh Dee, you comedy genius. I've always enjoyed the fantasy aspect of Dee's work, as you never quite know what to expect. Her stories are unpredictable, always surprising and most of all, heart warming, and this one was no different. The story follows Elle Miller, a bright young woman  who writes for a popular soap opera for a living.  Life would be wonderful, could be so wonderful- But is it? Oh no. Far from it, actually. After the untimely death of her father, Elle feels more lost than ever and still struggles to cope a year after his passing.  When her pre...

When a drunken night out at a Michigan State college party results in the death of six people, Cole must come to terms with his part in the tragedy. Normally, he'd be able to lean on his best friends. The best friends that have been in his life since he could barely walk.  Only, they're gone. Worse, there's the shattered body of a sixteen-year-old girl lying som...

Hey guys!  Today we welcome back young-adult and  historical fiction author  JACK CROXAL   That Difficult Second Album Novel I was very lucky with my first novel, Tethers . It gained thousands of downloads, received hundreds of lovely reviews and it even topped an Amazon best-seller chart – ‘Steampunk’. But I have a confession. When I first published Tethers , I had no idea what steampunk actually was. I’d never heard the word until readers started using it in their reviews, and, in the end, I had to Google the term just to find out what it meant. However, after a bit of research, I had lots of fun delving into some exciting steampunk books and watching some crazy steampunk films too. For anyone still a bit lost, here is a rough overview of the genre: Steampunk is a sub-genre of sci-fi and fantasy typically featuring steam-powered machinery, often in a setting inspired by or relating to the industrial...

This includes Annie herself – especially now celebrity crime writer Oliver Black, is back in town. He might grace the covers of gossip magazines with a different glamorous supermodel draped on his arm every week, but to Annie, he’s always just been Olly, the man who Annie shared her first kiss with. ...
