I am a huge fan of Kat Kinney and her fantasy series. I’ve read them all, and I always pre-order the next book so I don’t miss out on a new release. “The Siren's Cursed Kiss”, the third book in the Everwood Falls series, wasn’t an exception.

“Somebody’s Nobody” by Helen Aitchison
It is a bad thing to kill people. No one has a right to decide when someone’s life should end, even if the life this someone leads turns the existence of others into a nightmare.

But thanks to social media I do get glimpses of the main trends and hottest topics. So, it was through the Writing Community on X/Twitter that I found... Continue Reading →
“No Happier State” by Will Tinkham
In no way would it be an exaggeration to say that Will Tinkham is one of my all-time favourite authors. Once I open his book, I can’t stop reading.
