Deliciously Dark Romance
It's the end of May, and I'm being a bit lazy, y'all... Doing this today because it's the last day of the promotions below, so if you want to check those out before you read these reviews, scroll down! (After you've read this review, obviously.) Anyhoo, I enjoyed this novella in the continuing Wonderland series.... Continue Reading →
Exactly as it says on the tin; it's a collection of romances in the rock star genre. I'd have to add too, that each story could be a novella in its own right. I've read a couple of the others, and they are good quality, solid romances, but I'm really here to review The Hopping... Continue Reading →
I've gone a bit leftfield with my reading this month. Normal service will soon resume but I've taken a chance on some interesting-looking books and I'm so glad I did. Horror is NOT my go to genre but this one tickled me. So here goes... I was first drawn to this horror anthology by the... Continue Reading →
The second in the Wonderland Chronicles, a series of short stories (or scenarios to be more accurate) by Alexis Rey. I read Plush last year, and was blown away by the quality of the writing, the intensity of the scene-setting, so I was interested to see where this BDSM series was going to go. This...

Not to be confused with Donkey on the Doorstep or any of the Animal Ark series by Lucy Daniels. Nope. No, no, no... This is great series starter from horror writer, J.P. Jackson, who paints a gloomy world where it's always raining, people are poor and desperate, and the authorities are increasingly strict and based... Continue Reading →
This third tale in the Coffee House Shorts series is the tale of two nerds, and I say that in the nicest possible way. Brandon and Jonny are made for yaoi anime love stories - honestly. They are super cute, but smart too. Not just smart because the author tells us they are, but they... Continue Reading →
After Take Me Home, I just had to read the other two Coffee House Shorts from this author. Where as that book was a very short story, this one is a little longer, and as a result we discover more about Suki and Simone, individual coffee shop owners who respect and like each other, despite...

This is a quick but nuanced and entertaining read, about letting go of the past and moving on, as well as respecting one's heritage and keeping old traditions alive. Stuart is a lovely guy, a bear-like man with a gentle soul, still unable to replace the last picture of him and his ex, which is... Continue Reading →
A fun, relatively quick read and a good way to introduce yourself to the work of this brilliant horror/comedy author. It's a retelling of the familiar fairytale, Little Red Riding Hood, but one you would barely recognise at first. Harkin Ross, known as Hood because of his penchant for wearing "hoodies," drives a red truck... Continue Reading →
A Tended Garden is a fun short story (approx 58 pages) about witch Alyssa, and the coven she attends, which is run by the tyrannical Rachel. It is part comedy, part fantasy, part horror. Things go wrong for Alyssa on a regular basis, and she is always falling foul of the ghastly Rachel, who reminded... Continue Reading →
