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: 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. I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own. View all my reviews

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
