If ever you wanted to see a beautiful arc then this copy of Kingdom of the Wicked is for you. My gosh! Hodder & Stoughton sent out these beautiful review arcs and they really are exquisite! Here is my review of the story…

Two sisters.
One brutal murder.
A quest for vengeance that will unleash Hell itself…
And an intoxicating romance.

Review: Meet Me In London

Meet Me in London was a very sweet, charming romance set in the city. As Georgia Toffolo’s debut romance it was exactly what you want in festive feel good fiction!

Review: A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire

Published: September 2020

Written by: Jennifer L. Armentrout

Earlier in the year I read Jennifer L. Armentrout book From Blood and Ash, a brand new fantasy romance adventure and I devoured it. It was wonderful, and you can see my review here.

I eagerly awaited the release of its sequel, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire and once I had it downloaded to my kindle, I finished my current read at the time and began…

Renée Ahdieh was a new author to me and so I came at this with little to no expectations about the book.

Review: You Again by Debra Jo Immergut

Published: 4th August

Writing a review for Immergut’s novel ‘You Again’ has really got me stumped!

Review: The Secretary by Zoe Lea

The Secretary by Zoe Lea publishes 20th August and I highly recommend it!

What I love about SFS sessions on Instagram

It’s probably obvious to everyone – but Instagram is my most used and most favourite social media platform. Twitter, Facebook, TikTok – none measure up for me.

I think that’s because the Bookstagram community is just so wonderful, and even though I have blogged about ‘the darkside of Instagram’ before, I still think it’s the best.

Why do I love Instagram so much?

There are so many things I enjoy about the bookstagram community, but one of the things I love to take part in is SFS sessions!

What are SFS sessions then?

SFS stands for ‘Shoutout for Shoutout’ and they are a fab way of reaping some benefits:

Why I’m No Longer Using ‘Like’ Groups on Instagram

There has been a lot of talk about ‘like’ groups on bookstagram in recent months, and not all of it good. I’m here to give you my experience and findings on using like groups… and explain why I’m no longer using them.

Thank you to the awesome team at @millsandboon for the exclusive proof copy to read ahead of publication.
