The call of Cthulhu
By H. P. Lovecraft
The Call of Cthulu, the tale of a horrifying underwater monster coming to life and threatening mankind, is H.P. Lovecraft's most famous and most widely popular tale, spawning an entire mythology, with the power to strike terror into the hearts of even the Great OldOnes.
This is the one everyone seems to go on about! I’m so far loving my Lovecraft journey. This is my favourite so I can see why suggest this as the first one you read, I’m not sure you should as I’ve read a few of Lovecrafts short stories and I’m finally getting to grips on how he writes. Which I think is why I enjoyed this more the I thought.

This was the latest book that was picked for my book club, and it was the best one from that group that I have had for a long while.
I connected with the main character Sylvia from the very first chapter, her love of reading resonated with me. And I enjoyed following her journey of starting a new job, and making new friends. This book also appealed to me because of the wildlife references in it, another hobby of mine.
I wouldn't say it's a book with an exceptionally in depth story, but it's a nice easy reading, feel good book, with a nice ending to it.
I will be reading more by this author if I come across them.

One word.....Epic!
I'm reminded of medieval times right from the start. Courage, valiance, swordsmen, magic and so much more.
Niome is about to embark on an awe-inspiring mission accompanied by four friends and family......not just any mission but one that had long been foretold. The personal journeys are no less important, not only on an individual level but as a group.
This is an epic journey that leads to new friendships, strong alliances and surprises. The only thing I've struggled with is when the characters speak in their native tongue.....I'll be honest I didn't even attempt to pronounce any of it ha ha!
That aside this is a brilliant read that is ideal for teens onwards to enjoy.

This book is an introduction to this marvellous character. I admire her power and amazingly kind heart. When I was reading the book I actually felt like I was in Africa, following the character through her journey. Author made every page breath of African spirit. It is very interesting to watch Monroe interact with other characters. The book is intriguing and fast paced, in every chapter there is something happening, it is hard to put it down. There are a lot of twists and turns. It is really easy and interesting to read it. I loved the ending, its well thought through and unexpected. I recommend everyone to give it a go on this great book if you love suspense and adventures.

I enjoyed reading this. It was both intriguing, waiting to find out what Maggie had done in the past, and heartbreaking when we did find out.
I liked the journey we went on with her going from someone who used sex as a weapon to someone who started to believe she may just be strong enough and brave enough to embrace love and what Asher was offering her if she wanted it.
Speaking of, I liked Asher from the off. Will was a little harder to like at the start but he grows on you easily as the story progresses and you realise just what he'd been willing to do to keep her a year ago.
It should definitely be read by fans of the genre.
