Banewolf is the second book in the Dark Siren series and it is a belter! The story continues where Book 1 left off, although Kali has learned a new skill with regard to staying underwater. Rhane and Kali come back together again and life continues. It is hard for Kali to adjust, especially with all the changes and challenges she has faced and continues to face.

There is action aplenty, and the story becomes more intricate as politics now plays a part. Kali is remembering more of her memories of when she was with Rhane in a previous life, and answers become clear on why certain things happened.

An absolutely fantastic continuation that will leave you wanting more... immediately! Brilliant book and series. Highly recommended.

Edgar Allen Poe is on a tour of the universities of England, His first stop Oxford. He's worried about his wife who's had a rough time on the way over. Hes had a bit too much to drink to celebrate his success he then wakes up in what he thinks is his room with a very sore head and a dead chambermaid at the bottom of his bed on the floor!
He must do everything he can to clear his name so he can continue with his tour.

It is an absolutely encapsulating story it did remind me a bit of Sherlock and Watson. It's very well written and captures your imagination from the start!

The murder scenes are rather gruesome but then murders aren't meant to be pretty are they! The air of mystery through out the novel keeps you wanting to read through to the end to find out whodunit and why?

a fantastic mystery to keep you captivated.

This book was fantastic! I didn’t want it to end - which is quite fortunate, because I believe there will be more to come (it says this is book #1 on Goodreads, so it must be true!).

I loved the characters: Kissen, a Godkiller who loves her job; a girl with a couple of rather large secrets, one of which is Skediceth, a small god who is tied to her. Which is something of a conundrum for Kissen. If she kills the little god of white lies, will she kill the child as well? And then there’s Elogast, a Knight turned baker, who has to ask one last favour from a god for his best friend. Why the god would do anything for him is a mystery - after all, Elogast killed many gods and destroyed their shrines during the God Wars.

The world building in this is epic, the pacing is perfect, and it’s just an overall exciting, thrilling ride of a story.

I need more asap!

I’ve read some really good books this month!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 6
⭐️⭐️ 3


So only 3 5⭐️s this month but plenty of 4s! My favourite of the month was A Lair of Bones by Helen Scheuerer it was so strange and such a cruel beautiful world I absolutely loved her last series so I have high hopes for this one! Invisible Library was also a very good read had a Victorian steam punk vibe!

My only #fromabox book was Cut and I was a little disappointed to be honest I was expecting more from it!

My worst book was City of Sin by Ivy Smoak again I just wanted more from it!

Overall it’s been a fantastic month for books and I have a good line up for August!!

I have read and enjoyed one of Shari's previous books, The Stolen Twins, but this is entirely different but no less enjoyable.

This is a twisty and disturbing thriller that had me hooked from the first to the last word. Told from the perspectives of three very different women who all live within the same area but whose story is the one to believe?

Written at a good pace, with excellent characters, excellent twists and a fantastic narrator that only adds to the story, this is a great book that I would recommend to others who enjoy this genre. I do, however, have to say that there were times where I thought it was a little over the top but I just went with it because if you can't suspend reality in fiction, when can you?

My thanks go to Bookouture Audio and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to and share my thoughts of The Homemaker.

Three Thousand Years of Longing is a film that manages to be compelling, magical, and very human all at one. It's a film that deals with a mystical concept but at its core, is about the basic need to feel loved and wanted, and the sacrifices that come with it.
It's also a huge love letter to story telling. A big chunk of the narrative structure is made up of the two leads regailing tales to eachother, and it's relentlessly engaging and wholesome. Tilda Swinton is fantastic, as she tends to be. Idris Elba has always been a bit hit and miss for me, but he also excels here, and the chemistry between the two of them is strong and sweet.
Throw in a heart wrenching score from Junkie XL and the unique visionary work of George Miller, and you're left with a piece that is built to bury itself into your mind and stay there for a while. A truly wonderful experience.
