    Book Review – The Unfathomable Curse by Courtney Smyth

    14 March 2026 /

    This series is just so much fun, and I loved this installment!  It was great to see more of the world and the council and how it affects Cornelia in particular.

    Book Review – And Now, Back to You by B K Borison

    7 March 2026 /

    I really liked Jackson in First-Time Caller and was really looking forward to seeing more of him. He’s so sweet and so this definitely hit that need. And I really like Delilah as a foil to his more regimented nature.

    Book Review – The Mysterious Affair of Judith Potts by Robert Thorogood

    28 February 2026 /

    The latest addition to the Marlow Murder Club series has its highs and lows for me, but the highs win out.

    Book Review – Revolve by Bal Khabra

    21 February 2026 /

    This book frustrated me in parts because I enjoyed the first two more, but overall Dylan and Sierra’s story is sweet. I particularly liked Dylan’s decision even if I would have liked more exposition around it.

    Book Review – Oxford Blood by Rachael Davis-Featherstone

    14 February 2026 /

    It took me a while to get into this book, I’m not going to lie. At first, it definitely has to spend a good while setting the scene of not only Oxford, but the different relationships. However, as soon as the action kicked in it quickly became addictive.

    Book Review – A Treachery of Swans by A B Poranek

    7 February 2026 /

    I loved Poranek’s first book and came to this with high expectations and I’m so pleased that it was exactly what I wanted it to be.

    Book Review – Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett

    31 January 2026 /

    This is a book I was hyped for and yet was still somehow everything I didn’t know I needed. Set in 1920s Montreal, I loved that it didn’t feel too historical (more just a little old fashioned and fantastical, which is a good mix) and that we got little insights into Montreal, a place I don’t think I’ve seen as a book setting before.

    Book Review – A Judgement of Powers by Benedict Jacka

    24 January 2026 /

    I’m having such a good time with this very readable series. It’s very accessible and I’m enjoying the urban fantasy elements a lot - I really need this genre to reemerge!

    Book Review – The House Saphir by Marissa Meyer

    17 January 2026 /

    I think retellings are definitely Marissa’s comfort zone but this didn’t really stand out from the crowd for me.

    Book Review – We Three Witches by Rosie Talbot

    10 January 2026 /

    I love how Rosie writes 😍 this prequel to the Sixteen Souls series is so wonderful. It was lovely getting to see Edie and Viola’s story, and more of the Hand.
