Review: Werewolves of London

Werewolves of London Werewolves of London by Angie Fox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love Angie Fox’s Southern Ghost Hunter series, so I was pleased to receive review copies of this newly rewritten series (you can see my reviews of The Monster MASH and The Transylvania Twist on my blog, amazon and goodreads).

This series has Angie’s trademark humour, but is more serious than the Southern Ghost Hunter series. It also contains several topics that I really dislike reading about - war, and gods (who I mostly dislike because they’re always making war or other chaos). But in spite of that, I still enjoyed this book.

It was fun to get back to the characters I enjoyed in the previous two books. I particularly enjoyed the way the MASH camp pulled together in this story. And a certain love interest from book 1 is back... There’s also a new (and not entirely stable) dragon in camp, so plenty of excitement in this book!

I really enjoyed Medusa’s baby shower, and the birth scene was highly entertaining. These two scenes added much needed humour to the book, as well as important events occurring.

The ending did seem a tiny bit anticlimactic after all the drama, but thankfully happy. All I can say (without spoilers) is that the gods are a bit more pathetic and nuts than I expected.

If you’re looking for a fantasy of gods and war, with humour and love, and a lovely happy ending, then I recommend this one (if I didn’t hate war so much, I’d have given it 5 stars).

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

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...

Blog Tour - Murder in Mayfair

  Review - 5 out of 5 stars: I love the Lady Eleanor Swift mysteries, and Murder in Mayfair was no exception. This time, Eleanor is trying to solve a murder and a burglary at the same time. I really enjoyed being along for the ride as she frantically tries to find the truth.  Eleanor is a favourite character, I love her forthrightness and the way she never gives up. She’s also kind and compassionate. I loved the way that she, Clifford, and Hugh worked together on this case. The mysteries themselves were intriguing, and I enjoyed the way finding out new facts gradually revealed what had actually happened. And I was still surprised at the reveal!  As always, I enjoyed the historical notes at the end. Overall, this was another excellent mystery from a favourite author.  I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own. Book Description: Tea and cake at The Ritz, a stolen pearl necklace and a missing dead body… Lady Swift is back on the case! Lady Eleanor Swift ...

Review: The Enforcer Enigma

The Enforcer Enigma by G.L. Carriger My rating: 5 of 5 stars Gail Carriger (aka G. L. Carriger) is my favourite author, and I will read anything she has written. I have high expectations, and she exceeds them every time.  This book was wonderful, just like all the others in this series. It was both hilarious and touching. It had a beautiful, heartwarming plot. As usual, the use of language is wonderful, and often playful, in a way that reminds me of P. G. Wodehouse (though the plot is obviously not alike). I really can’t recommend this series (and Gail Carriger in general) enough. View all my reviews
