"Embers Of War" is a perfectly executed Space Opera, on the kind of scale I normally see from Iain M Banks or Alister Reynolds. It's gritty and fast and has a colourful cast of characters: the AI of a Carnivore class warship who has developed a conscience and gone into the rescue business, two spi...
Edge of Darkness is everything I love about great romantic suspense! Here are the reasons I think you will love it too: Great characters: Meredith is a child psychologist but also suffers from depression. She has self harmed and attempted suicide in the past. She still struggles at times and it mad...
Why did I read it? I had read The Wind in the Willows when I was a child, and only recently discovered that Kenneth Grahame had authored other books, about which I was unaware. This story sounded interesting. What's it about? Two children are following footprints in the snow, when a neighbour call...
Another great story by St. James! I would say this is my second favorite book of hers; the first being The Haunting of Maddy Clare. I listened to the audio of this and it was wonderful. She really knows how to evoke an eerie atmosphere. Her descriptions of Franny and Princer's 'appearances' were jus...
One of the best ways of traveling across America is via the imagination of others. Using eight books in my TBR pile, I'm journeying from the Farallon Islands off the coast of California to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginian via Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri and Kentucky, writi...

No one else in the world lives quite like Nim, and s...
I am terrified of sharks: and I don't know if the film "Jaws" was partly or solemnly responsible for that. Either way finishing this audio counts as a personal achievement. The visuals I had in mind every time the shark appeared gave me the chills. Plus each appearance was paired with the appropria...
One of my favorite Heinlein adult SFs, it nevertheless shows signs of it's age. One minute, down and out actor Lorenzo Smythe was — as usual — in a bar, drinking away his troubles as he watched his career go down the tubes. Then a space pilot bought him a drink, and the next thing Smythe knew, ...
Brilliant!!Twisted too, but in a good way. Oh my goodness, this is an intense 69 pages lemme tell ya!I did not think it would play out the way it did either, which is also a good thing. I'm pleasantly surprised!I love this author's writing. She puts you there, in that intense moment, and sometimes h...
