Chasing Embers by James Bennett Published by Orbit on September 6, 2016 Genres: Fantasy, Fiction Pages: 464 Format: E-Arc, Paperback Source: Netgalley, Publisher Buy on Amazon Goodreads There’s nothing special about Ben Garston. He’s just a guy with an attitude in a beat-up leather jacket, drowning his sorrows in a downtown bar. Or so he’d have you believe. What Ben Garston can’t let you know is that he was once known as Red Ben. That the world of myth and legend isn’t just a fantasy, as we’ve been led to believe. And he certainly can’t let you know the secret of what’s hiding just beneath his skin… But not even Ben knows what kind of hell is about to break loose. A centuries-old rivalry has just resurfaced, and the delicate balance between his world and ours is about to be shattered. Behind every myth, there’s a spark of truth… I was initially drawn to Chasing Embers because of the little sticker that states ‘may contain traces of dragon’. I am therefore super happy to report there is more than just a […]

I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.The Last Days of Jack Sparks by Jason Arnopp Published by Orbit on March 3, 2016 Genres: Fantasy, Fiction, Horror, Mystery, Paranormal, Thriller Pages: 336 Format: Paperback Source: Publisher Buy on Amazon Goodreads Jack Sparks died while writing this book. It was no secret that journalist Jack Sparks had been researching the occult for his new book. No stranger to controversy, he’d already triggered a furious Twitter storm by mocking an exorcism he witnessed. Then there was that video: forty seconds of chilling footage that Jack repeatedly claimed was not of his making, yet was posted from his own YouTube account. Nobody knew what happened to Jack in the days that followed – until now. The Last Days of Jack Sparks is a dangerously addictive book, where the supernatural will scare you to death and Jack’s humour give you some light relief. This was an fun book for me but I couldn’t […]

I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Fellside by M.R. Carey Published by Orbit on April 5, 2016 Genres: Fiction, Horror, Thriller Pages: 486 Format: E-Arc Source: Netgalley Buy on Amazon Goodreads Fellside is a maximum security prison on the edge of the Yorkshire Moors. It’s not the kind of place you’d want to end up. But it’s where Jess Moulson could be spending the rest of her life. It’s a place where even the walls whisper. And one voice belongs to a little boy with a message for Jess. Will she listen? So I picked Fellside up because I adored The Girl With All the Gifts, so to see M. C. Carey’s new book was really exciting. And there was a little bit of jumping up and down. Unfortunately/fortunately (depending how you look at it) this is a completely different book in ever way. This doesn’t mean that it was a bad book, rather my expectations got in the way. This is a mystery book […]
