Highly recommend checking out this paranormal dark romance!

I never related to a poem like this before.

Tears in the Shadows was a beautifully written collection of poems about grief, loss and letting go of pain and hurtful memories.

Iโ€™m so sad that this book is came to an end and I can never experience this masterpiece of a book again for the very first time.

I feel like Iโ€™m reading so many amazing books lately but this one was extra special! 
It was about a pregnant teenage girl named Lila who is terrified of insects, she thinks they want revenge. It was a captivating and beautifully written thought provoking story which I absolutely loved!

I highly recommend this incredible book!

Donโ€™t read this book if you have have a fear of insects!

5.0

Little Red Driving Hood was such a fun and entertaining twist on the original story of Little Red Riding Hood.

The perfect little story for children who enjoy fairy tales and like cars. The tale that challenges traditional gender roles.

Honestly this is a fantastic book for any age, as an adult I really enjoyed this empowering story as well!

This is the third book in โ€œThe Spectral Inspectorโ€ series but it is intended as a standalone, I havenโ€™t read the previous books either but after this one I am definitely intrigued to read them. 

This was such an excellent read that I could not stop reading! I loved everything about this one, the cast of characters were phenomenal the writing was flawless and the storyline was just so incredible and captivating, I love Osgood so much!

I highly recommend reading this fantastic novel to everyone!

Thank you so much Cooper for reaching out to me and sharing an ARC copy of your novel in exchange for my honest review.

The Rabbit Man was such a fascinating collection of short stories. I loved to see how the stories were connected and find all the easter eggs throughout the tales. I really loved all of the stories especially the one called โ€œLittle Piggyโ€.

I highly recommend this fantastic book to horror lovers especially if you love short stories and finding the connection between them.

A beautiful journey of survival, faith and music. 

Jessica is the first and currently only woman to have completed the โ€˜Sea, Street, Summit Challengeโ€™ - which is to swim the English Channel, run the London Marathon and climb Mount Everest. All the things sheโ€™s been through and have achieved is incredible to me, she describes herself more of an arty type rather than sporty. 

Jessica Hepburn is such a brave and inspiring woman who reminds us to never give up on our dreams. 

I highly recommend reading this book especially if you love music!
