Ink and Bone is about the love of books, and what happens when books get hoarded for their knowledge. In an alternate history where The Great Library of Alexandria exists, all the books in the world are stored and archived at libraries. As fellow book lovers, what could possibly be wrong with a world where books are […]
You know when you love a book so much that nothing could ever live up to it? That was Ready Player One. So naturally, I was highly anticipating Armada, thinking it was going to be equally as awesome. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. While Ready Player One successfully made gaming and 80’s pop culture references accessible […]
Blending historical fiction with an engaging YA fantasy, Legacy of Kings takes a look at Alexander the Great during his teenage years before his rise to power. And what a rich and fascinating world it was, bringing to life a period in history where Greek royalty practiced the occult, where an army was run by a 16 […]

Therefore, this is going to be a tough review. What I liked Supernatural setting. When I first read the blurb, I thought it […]
Today I am launching the blog tour for The Mime Order, which is now out on paperback! I’ve just started reading The Mime Order and it is fantastic – it really builds upon the world set in Bone Season on voyants, an alternate London ruled by Mime-Lords and the unusual Rephaites wanting to take over. I’ll be […]
