Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

Geralt de Rivia is a witcher. A cunning sorcerer. A merciless assassin.

And a cold-blooded killer.

His sole purpose: to destroy the monsters that plague the world.

But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good

. . . and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.


I’m so glad I decided to start these books! This is a selection of short stories to open up the wither world and Geralt. I loved them all and it made so much more sense matching these shorts to the Tv series. Looking forward to getting stuck into the next book. It also helps I now have Henry Cavil stuck in my head for Geralt!

Aston Martin cars 😍
Bond is back!
Well finally Bond is here after the long delays for the release of this last outing for Daniel Craig.
This is a great film everyone will enjoy and Bond fans will love. It has all the best Bond elements. Exotic locations, amazing Aston Martin cars including the classic DB5. Great action scenes, gadgets and awesome Bond girls. Special mention for Ana de Armas kicking butt while in a cocktail dress and heels.
The storyline is typically Bond as well, complete with an evil villian and cool hideout. It has a lot of elements to other Bond films whether by location, Car, songs that will ring bells for those who are big fans. A nice touch.
Probably Craig's best outing in the Bond role signing off in style. Catch it at the cinema!

I didn't think a book could be better than Scarlet Princess... until Tarnished Crown came along.

Rowan’s penchant for landing herself in almighty trouble continues in this epic second instalment of the Lochlann Feuds series.

Written from Rowan's POV, we explore more of the mysterious Socair kingdom and encounter dangerous fights, evil opponents and political plots galore!
However, with hilarious banter, saunas, cats and a lot of butt chat, TC definitely has moments that made me laugh out loud.

As always the Queens of the Cliffhanger (I'm going to make this nickname stick!) keep us guessing until the very end. They can probably hear my frustrated screams all the way across the sea.

I can't wait for Obsidian Throne! Like actually can't wait. Can we have it now please? 💜💜


I received an ARC of this book from the authors in exchange for an honest review.
