Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
As soon as I was made aware of the video games series based on these books I knew I had to read play them and as soon as I'd played them I wanted to read the books. Well, after reading book 1, Metro 2033, which I review here, I couldn't wait to read this second... Continue Reading →
Book 3 of 4 - and things are shaping up to be awesome! Honestly, book 1 didn't have me hoping for much, at least not to begin with. Like I wrote in my review, it was slow, confusing and there were far too many names. When I read this third book, I couldn't finish it... Continue Reading →
As soon as I played the first video game, I knew I had to read the book. I have a thing for wanting to read the novels games are based on after I've played them, and Metro had me hooked from the start. The story follows our protagonist Artyom, a teeanger who lives in the... Continue Reading →
Hunter Astely - witch hunter extraordinaire - is the best at what he does: hunting witches and keeping humanity safe. It's not by choice however, it's his heritage. When he saves a young girl from a pack of witches in Italy, his life is turned upside down when she demands to be brought into the... Continue Reading →
This is slightly embarrassing to admit, but I'd never heard of James Herbert until I came across this book - at the same time, this is some of the most terrifying horror I've ever read. I love horror, but more often than not, it fails to scare me. Sure, it's creepy, and there's a dark... Continue Reading →
I don't know how I ended up reading Bill Bryson. I think a colleague recommended him with something along the lines of: "You just have to read him!" I think I asked why; what kind of stuff he wrote and if my friend wanted to suggest any specific book but I just got the same... Continue Reading →
They've done it again! Shepherd's Watch is the second book in the Shepherd and Wolfe series, the first of which I've reviewed here, and it follows unlikely friends Anthony Shepherd and Charlie Wolfe who somehow always seemed to end up in the middle of trouble (but that's probably because Charlie keeps dragging Anthony into it)....

Finally, another book review. Sorry it's been a bit quiet on my end - lots of isolating to do and I've been kinda busy. But I had the time to read this, which I've been excited about for a while. I first heard of Matt Haig on Twitter, and when I did, I couldn't stop... Continue Reading →
The notion of 'getting hooked' on a book is alien to me. Sure, there are books that I love and that I'll happily read over and over again, but I've never experience that immediate "OMG, THIS BOOK!!"-feeling that some people seem to have. People talk about great opening lines and great first pages, and I... Continue Reading →
Warcraft is the best fantasy series I've ever read! For those of you who have paid any attention to this blog and my other Warcraft reviews, you've probably heard me say it before. And I'll probably say it again. It doesn't hurt that I love the games, and know a lot of the lore and... Continue Reading →
