Hello Humans! As you may know I was absolutely floored by how amazing Children of Time and Children of Ruin were - the first Adrian Tchaikovsky books I read - and so when the opportunity arose to read the newest book from this author I jumped at the chance! The Doors of Eden looked like just the weird wonderful... Continue Reading →
The Quantum Garden, Derek Kunsken – Book Review
Hello Humans! Last year I raved about a science fiction book that felt a bit like being punched in the face by a physics textbook but in the best way. Well, to my surprise there was a sequel coming and I was lucky enough to be approved to read a digital advanced review copy of The... Continue Reading →
One Word Kill, Mark Lawrence – Book Review
Hello Humans! As many of you may know I am a huge fan of Mark Lawrence's Book of the Ancestor trilogy (Red Sister, Grey Sister and Holy Sister). When I reviewed an advanced copy of Holy Sister the author asked me if I'd be interested in reviewing his other upcoming book One World Kill, a very different book, with a... Continue Reading →

Yes, I am finally reading the final book in the Chaos Walking series - having bought them at the end of 2018. FINALLY. This series has broken my heart on more than one occasion so prepare for...

Do You Dream of Terra Two, Temi Oh – Book Review
Hello Humans! Are you ready to head into SPACE? That's right, if the cover image didn't give it away - today I'm reviewing some science fiction. Do You Dream of Terra Two was one of those books that hooked me with an interesting concept but that took me quite a while to actually get to? However,... Continue Reading →
This Cruel Design, Emily Suvada – Book Review
Hello humans! I am delighted to be reviewing This Cruel Design by Emily Suvada today, a book that I actually won in a giveaway from the publisher.

Villain, Michael Grant – Book Review
Hello humans! Does anyone remember when I reviewed Killer T? If not I'll hit you with the highlights. Essentially, Robert Muchamore was an author I had read as a teen but stopped reading when his main characters became abominable teenage boys who I just hated. I gave his new book Killer T a chance but found that... Continue Reading →
The Quantum Magician, Derek Künsken
Hello humans! Today's book review is for another book from my local publisher Rebellion Publishing, the same house who brought us Binary System and Paris Adrift among others. I always enjoy reading books from them as it feels like I'm supporting local publishing (and, more importantly, publishing outside of London). I should also mention that my husband and a few...

Killer T, Robert Muchamore – Book Review
Hello humans! Today I’m reviewing the much anticipated new novel from Robert Muchamore. I read a few of the Cherub books when I was a young teen and enjoyed the first few - I actually stopped reading them out of annoyance rather than just drifting away (as I did with a lot of series at... Continue Reading →
Vox, Christina Dalcher – Book Review
Hello humans! It feels like months since I read Vox, a book which publishes in just a few weeks. That's actually because it has been months! I read this book back at the end of April when I was in Norway which is AAAAGES ago! But publishing dates are publishing dates and so this review (which I... Continue Reading →

Ascension, Victor Dixen – Book Review
Hello humans! Today’s book review is another example of what I’m starting to think of as a kind of sub-sub-genre. By that, I mean books (and it is mostly YA books) that divide things by gender and make readers looking for intersectionality a little uncomfortable. I’m looking at you Eve of Man. Ascension is, in... Continue Reading →
