So it’s been a while.With the global pandemic and everyone’s lives being thrown upside down with lockdowns, stress and anxiety, I have honestly not been able to pick up a book since the pandemic started.

Book Review: RESISTANCE
Firstly, I’d like to draw attention to this awesome, distinctive cover. Kopievsky’s RESISTANCE, book one in The Divided Elements series, is a wonderful debut novel. In this story, the post-apocalyptic world is inhabited by fire, water, earth and air elementals. Every person is aligned to an element, which dictates their roles in society, how theyContinue reading “Book Review: RESISTANCE”
Book Review: THE GIFTS OF FATE
THE GIFTS OF FATE by David T. Myers is an engaging urban fantasy / magical realism story set in Sydney. And honestly, that was enough to draw me in. As much as I love sci-fi and fantasy that takes me to different worlds, I always love a story that’s set in places I know, butContinue reading “Book Review: THE GIFTS OF FATE”
Book Review: BEGINNINGS
For my first book review of the year, I thought I would do the book that started it for me, BEGINNINGS. This anthology features one of the first short stories I ever wrote, and was the first time I had anything published, so it’s pretty special to me. The thing I love most about thisContinue reading “Book Review: BEGINNINGS”

Welcome to my book review of THE RISE, by Sue-Ellen Pashley. This is the first book in the Drowned Earth series of standalone Cli-Fi novellas published by Deadset Press – and what a way to open the series! Right from the start, Pashley’s vivid descriptions draw the reader into Katie James’ flooded world. Katie andContinue reading “Book Review: THE RISE”
Book Review: THE QUADRANTS
Rohsaan McInnes’ THE QUADRANTS is a really engaging YA Magical Realism story. It focuses on three teenagers, Rohan, Eve and Titus, who are classmates in an ordinary suburban school. Rohan and Eve are social outcasts and really only have each other as friends, and Titus is a muscle-bound thug, constantly mocking and bullying Titus. SoonContinue reading “Book Review: THE QUADRANTS”
Book Review: HERO
I grabbed a copy of HERO: THE HERO REBELLION BOOK 1 because the premise grabbed me. A human colony on a lonely planet. A girl who hears voices, her only friend a massive genetically-engineered leopard, and her quest for freedom, her quest for the truth. I was really impressed by Crawford’s characters. Hero Regan isContinue reading “Book Review: HERO”
Book Review: BURN
I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into when I picked up Keri Arthur’s BURN. Arthur is the author of many books, but this is the first that I’ve had the pleasure to read, and it is Book Three of her Kingdom of Earth and Air series. At the beginning we find that theContinue reading “Book Review: BURN”
