What an explosive end to a great trilogy!

The Voice That Twists the Knife wraps up the trilogy nicely, and starts with Bella and Ariana swapping places: Bella goes back to Ralph and the team, and Ariana goes to London with her father. Ariana is mad with her mother for keeping secrets, and this is her punishment. Quite who she’s punishing is questionable!

There are human/ animal hybrids, mind readers, kinetic powers and more. Lychen is more powerful and controlling than ever, playing God along with his research team.

There’s only one way this can go, and it’s an exciting journey. I’ve really enjoyed this trilogy. Many thanks to The Pigeonhole and to JM Briscoe for reading along.

The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley is a tense read that literally radiates heat off the page! It’s set during a very hot summer, and feelings are running high.

A Manor House has been converted into a luxurious hotel, complete with private “hutches” for guests to stay in. The local people are not at all happy.

This is a story of local villagers versus wealthy landowners, local myths and superstitions and destructive secrets. There’s a nod to Daphne Du Maurier’s The Birds - I like birds, and even I was deeply unsettled by the ones in this story!

I listened to this on Xigxag audiobooks, and the story sped by. It was tense, unsettling and pretty sinister on more than a couple of occasions!

Suffocatingly suspenseful!!

❄️ As December settles in and the nights grow long, it’s the perfect season for stories of wandering princes, whispered secrets, and divine mysteries.

In Feathers and Foxes, Terrwyn of Melthkior—a prince and wandering scribe—is summoned to uncover the truth behind stolen apples gifted by the goddess Olwen. But in the kingdom of Erast, riddles deepen, loyalties blur, and the sudden disappearance of a young maid named Sulien draws Terrwyn into something far more personal than a simple quest.

A reimagining of 'The Golden Bird,' woven with Welsh mythology and quiet romance, FEATHERS AND FOXES is ideal winter reading for fans of fairytale retellings and mythic fantasy. 🦊✨
