Iron Flame is one of the most hyped books of the last decade. The absolute storm that was Fourth Wing meant that when Iron Flame was announced and coming up to its release, a lot of the online bookish community was getting excited. It was the first book in a long time that had book shops across the country doing midnight launches for god sake!

The Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros book review

The Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros book review

Book reviews, Fantasy, Romance
The Fourth Wing was one of the most talked-about books on the internet this year. It, for many, has been the entrance into fantasy that they finally needed. It features dragons, a sweeping landscape, a broadening world, different cultures and conflict - enough for me to consider it fantasy. Please note that this article contains affiliate links.

The Housemaid by Freida McFadden book review

The Housemaid by Freida McFadden book review

Book reviews, Mystery, Thriller
I picked up The Housemaid because it was dirt cheap on Amazon - I'm talking £2.50 for a brand-new copy of the paperback. After finishing The Return of the King, I thought I'd pick something up a little lighter that didn't require quite as much time and effort to read/listen to. Enter The Handmaid.

The Return to the King by J.R.R. Tolkien book review

The Return to the King by J.R.R. Tolkien book review

Book reviews, Fantasy
Have you heard of Lord of the Rings? If not, it's a relatively unknown fantasy book that was published many decades ago, split into three books to make it more accessible for readers, built up a mass following, made into one of the most successful and celebrated trilogies of all time and is now considered the greatest piece of fantasy work ever written. The Return of the King is the third book in the series and the one many consider the best. But did I? Please note that this article contains affiliate links.

The Return of the Knights by Gregory Kontaxis book review

The Return of the Knights by Gregory Kontaxis book review

Book reviews, Fantasy
We all know I love a good fantasy book. The Return of the Knights is a book that was kindly sent to me by Kontaxis himself quite some months ago. The book focuses on our main protagonist Elliot who takes on the task of essentially attempting to slow down and possibly even stop the conquering of Knightdorn by Walter, a tyrant king who is looking to slowly sweep across the land and rule it all. But Elliot is more resilient and talented than his younger years may suggest. Please note that this article contains affiliate links.

Babel by R.F. Kaung book review

Babel by R.F. Kaung book review

Book reviews, Fantasy, Historical Fiction
I write this review of Babel through gritted teeth as I know it’s a book that is very well-loved by nearly everybody who’s read it. My social media feeds blew up with how great this book was when it first came out and so I was incredibly excited to read it. I will state that I listened to the majority of it and sometimes listening to a book like this where there isn’t a lot of dialogue and there are some very descriptive pieces of narrative can sometimes remove my immersion, but even then I knew what was going on and I’m still left with the same feeling.

The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels by Janice Hallett

The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels by Janice Hallett

Book reviews, Contemporary Fiction, Crime, Mystery, Thriller
If you’ve read any of my previous reviews of Janice Hallett books, you’ll know I’m an enormous fan. I’ve read The Appeal and The Twyford Code and I was a massive fan of the way that Hallett presented the books using different forms of media: emails, text messages, paper clippings etc. The Mystery Case of the Alperton Angels is very much the same sort of thing but this time I think she may have written her most exciting and interesting story yet!

Hostage by Clare Mackintosh book review

Hostage by Clare Mackintosh book review

Book reviews, Thriller
Hostage is a book that was kindly sent to me by a follower on social media who thought I would absolutely love it. The title gives away what the premise is and the front cover suggests where most of the action takes place. It's a thriller where you can guess most of the action but some very interesting techniques are used here and then there's the ending! Please note that this article contains affiliate links.

Supersize Island by J.J. Walsh book review

Book reviews, Mystery, Sci-Fi
Supersize Island by J.J. Walsh is a book that was kindly sent to me by the people at Social Deviant. It came in a really cool package - it came in an American fast food to-go bag along with some other Supersize Island goodies such as a rubber burger, a 'beware of the squirrel' sign and some other little bits.

Us Against You by Fredrik Backman book review

Us Against You by Fredrik Backman book review

Book reviews, Contemporary Fiction, Mystery
If you’ve ever read any of my Fredrik Backman reviews before, you’ll know that he’s solidly one of my favourite writers. He has an incredible ability to write almost poetic books that balance humour and serious topics so perfectly. Us Against You is the second book in the Beartown trilogy, picking up almost directly after the first book with the town in trouble after a huge incident caused so many problems in the previous book.
