Review: The Transylvania Twist: A dead funny romantic comedy

The Transylvania Twist: A dead funny romantic comedy The Transylvania Twist: A dead funny romantic comedy by Angie Fox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Monster MASH series by Angie Fox. Angie Fox is a favourite author of mine, I’ve been reading her Southern Ghost Hunter series for years, and l love the lightheartedness of them.

The Monster MASH series is full of things I don’t usually like to read about - war, gods, hell dimensions, horrible injustice. However, Angie’s trademark witty writing style makes these books enjoyable for me. There is also an interesting love interest, though I was slightly discombobulated by it being a different person than the love interest in the first story. However, it’s definitely a believable plot line.

The Transylvania Twist follows on from not that long after The Monster MASH ended. It has all the same excitement and adventure that the first book did.

I enjoyed this book far more than the previous one, partly because I was already used to the unfairness and so on inherent in the world. There was also some humour to lighten things up. I found it easy to read, in spite of the heavy topics involved. I am looking forward to the next, and final, book in the series.

If the genre of this book is a genre you love (unlike me), then the excellent writing will make this a five star read. But as I base my stars purely on my personal enjoyment, I am only rating it four stars.

I was given a free copy of this book, my opinions are my own.

Review: Sweet Mercies

Sweet Mercies by Anne Booth My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved Small Miracles, so I was thrilled to be offered a copy of Sweet Mercies (the sequel) to review. I was such a joy to return and spend time with the Sisters of Saint Philomena again. I loved the sense of community, both in the convent, and the wider area. It’s wonderful to see how all the characters are getting on, they feel like old friends. I especially loved the kittens, and their interactions with Sister Cecilia. The plot was great, I loved all the different threads running through the book, and the way they intertwined. I enjoyed the sense of history, and the way it all comes together in the end. Overall, this book was a joy to read, full of community and kindness. I really hope that there will be more books in the series. I’d love to learn more about Sister Cecilia’s past.

Review: The Christmas Love Letters: a gorgeous, heartwarming new Christmas romance to cosy up with this winter

The Christmas Love Letters: a gorgeous, heartwarming new Christmas romance to cosy up with this winter by Sue Moorcroft My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love Sue Moorcroft books, and Christmas books, so I was excited to be invited to read The Christmas Love Letters. I was not disappointed! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I loved the story relating to the love letters, and how they (eventually) brought people together. I loved the setting. Nelson’s Bar is clearly a beautiful place near the sea, and all the snow made the book seem extra Christmassy. The characters were also great. I loved Maddy, and the way she’s coped under difficult circumstances, and given Lyla such a lovely childhood. I really liked Raff too, and in fact all the other characters, with the exception of Harris. I understand his reasons, but that is not how you treat anyone you care about! Sue Moorcroft has produced another beautifully romantic and Christmassy story. I highly recomme

Review: The Ice Garden

The Ice Garden by Guy Jones My rating: 4 of 5 stars A magical tale. I really enjoyed this book. I so felt for the main character, as I’m allergic to the sun too (though not to anything like the same extent). It is nice to see a book where disability is not magically fixed, but seen as something you have to learn to live with. View all my reviews
