What a wild ride this story turned out to be! Every chapter brought a surprise, and I simply had to turn the pages to learn where it was all leading. The plot twist at the end was mind-blowing but so fitting for the atmosphere of mystery and adventure. “India Dymond” by K.D. McNiven took me... Continue Reading →
“Diversions with Darcy & Elizabeth” by Kelly Miller
I have already read “The Love Potion,” one of the novellas included in this volume, since it was featured in the anthology “In the Path of Jane Travels and Tales” edited by Carol S. Bowes. It did not stop me from rereading and enjoying it as much as when I read it the first time.... Continue Reading →
“Sold to the Dark Vampire Prince” by Kat Kinney
I am a huge fan of Kat Kinney’s Texas Shifters series, and after reading the finale, I've been waiting for a new spicy paranormal romance saga from this author. Finally, this month, the first book in the Immortal Royals series was published, and it proved worth the wait. The Girard sisters are as relatable, complex,... Continue Reading →
“Fairytales Live Here” by Ellen Khodakivska
My son loves reading, and he especially adores fairytales. Even though he is already at the age when he doesn’t need his parents to read to him before sleep, I knew that he’d enjoy a collection of bedtime stories that he could read himself. “Fairytales Live Here” by Ellen Khodakivska proved to be a perfect...

“Berkano” by Jas Phoenix

“River Reflects Earth” by Anne M. Smith-Nochasak
“I am Flo. I will never submit.” Oh, how these words made my heart beat faster! I felt the surge of adrenaline that members of the resistance in the Taggak Journey trilogy must have felt. The motivation they sorely needed to keep moving towards their goal, despite the cold and the hunger and the despair... Continue Reading →
“Undeclared Love: An Accidental Romance” by Lubov Leonova
A beginning and a continuation at the same time. That’s how reading this author’s newest release felt like to me. Having read all Lubov Leonova’s novels set in the magical setting of the land inhabited by mages and the Incapables – people without magic powers – it was gratifying to learn about the fates of the characters... Continue Reading →
“Genavine’s Mission” by Jupiter Rose
Genavine’s life has never been easy. Not since she was sixteen and an apocalypse had turned her world upside-down. The army killed her parents and so many other people that the city became unrecognisable. Then, the government disappeared, and with them, the army, and, seemingly, any hope the survivors had left. How could young Gena... Continue Reading →
“There Will Never Be A Rainbow” by Rod Gilley
I have always thought about the horror genre as something that is focused on making readers’ spines go cold with terror and their stomachs churn with nausea. Zombies chewing on the entrails of innocent passers-by. The more gore, the better. A multi-genre reader as I am, I seldom choose horror. I do venture into the... Continue Reading →
‘Holiday at Pemberley’ by Kelly Miller
A huge fan as I am of Kelly Miller’s work, the fact that I’ve already read the story of the angel of death coercing Mr Darcy into entertaining him as his guest at Pemberley so that he could study the mortals’ ways didn’t stop me from purchasing this book. I loved the original version, ‘Death... Continue Reading →
