Genre: Adult | Sci-fi | Dystopian| Fiction

4 out of 5 stars!

Take a look at the cover! If that doesnโ€™t pull you in enough the moment you read the synopsis you will be hooked.

I have been craving sci-fi recently and Magna-Blade was exactly what I needed. Even more of a treat when I found out it was set in a well known city in Canada!

People have survived a life changing war with some of the most dangerous weapons around – Magna-Blades. But no-ones safe just yet!….Someone knows more is coming and they are working tirelessly to stop it! Questionโ€™s are …Will they succeed?…Can they do it alone, or will they need help?

Evan has created this revolutionary setting! You still have your high, middle and lower class, people are suffering, hunger, drugs and crime are still present and a form of law enforcement is in place. It reads as if you are in today’s setting with a futuristic twist. This was a huge yes for me! I enjoy stepping out of the real world while reading but really appreciate when there is still be a relate-able feel to it. Helps to really grasp the idea and makes for an engaging read!

The characters are perfectly placed in this world. I try very hard not give any spoilers away while reviewing so I wonโ€™t give any names or details. But I will say I really connected with a few of the stronger, main characters. When they were faced with hardships or tough situations it hit hard! Evan’s characters are extremely memorable. I thoroughly enjoy a read where there is a perfect balance between the story line and the characters and I found that was exactly what Magna-Blade did. The perfect amount of detail throughout.

Now you may be wondering why I gave this read a 4 stars when I obviously enjoyed it so much. The one reason I removed a star from my rating is…. the beginning of the story is very fast paced. Almost as something you would see in a immediate scene at the beginning of a movie, to get you quickly up to date on whatโ€™s going down. Although this is fine and a lot of reads do this to give the reader some details before they really dive into the story. What got me was there were parts that had me lost or confused. I felt like I was missing a bit of the story that was critical to understanding things as you went on, perhaps details that are important and were glazed over a bit too quickly. Donโ€™t get me wrong! As you go you will understand what is happening and you will get a glimpse of the past. I just feel some bits could have been touched on more.

All of this being said. I obviously really enjoyed this read and gave it a high rating. What makes me very excited about how this read ended off is I felt as if the story was left a bit open but also with enough conclusion at the same time. Which I really appreciate because I donโ€™t feel like I am needing more…. yet if a sequel came of this I most definitely would be jumping at the chance to get my hands on it!

Of course I would recommend this read especially if you are a sci-fi fan. You can never go wrong with such a strong, vivid world like this!

Genre: Middle-gradeย | Thriller| Paranormal | Fiction

5 out of 5 stars!

YES! This is what I am talking about!

I don’t know about you but growing up I was ghost obsessed.ย  Late on a Friday or Saturday night my family and friends would gather, turn off all the lights, grab a flashlight and creep around the house looking to experience the perfect paranormal moment.

I now get to experience all that same fun with my two boys. It becomes on heck of a great game, on the regular here in our home.

So… what better than a middle-grade where kids are doing just that?!? and they have no idea what they are in for.

When Diana reached out to see if I would be willing to review one of the books from her Ghosters series, I was super excited and I knew exactly who I would be reading it with.

I’ll just put it out there…. my eldest son and I LOVED this read.

Ghosters was exhilarating!

The characters are so well done. Theresa is suffering the older sibling battle after a huge loss in the family and feels she needs to stay strong for her younger brother Joey. Yet she also feels her Dad doesn’t seem to love her as much. When truly she and Joey just have no idea exactly what is going on with their father and his own inner demons he is fighting. Than Joey is this sweet, innocent, easy going brother who looks up to his sister and is so happy to spend time with her. In comes Theresa’s new ghost obsessed friend Kerry to stir up the mix. What a perfect selection of characters!

Diana also kept this middle grade read so gripping by leaving the true reveal till the very, very end. Leaving you to devour this read, needing to know exactly what happens.

Ghosters will have you stir with emotions throughout. Yet in the end Diana pieces everything together perfecting, bringing the whole story together and releasing all of those emotions.

I must add as a mother reading this along side my eldest that I found it very refreshing how Diana not only brought up the topic of loss of a loved one(s) but also notes some mental health. She did it in such a gentle, tasteful way, not to overwhelm a middle-grade reader.

Extremely well done and very entertaining.

We have added the rest of the Ghosters series onto our wish list to pick up in the future.

Currently in the series:

#1: Ghosters #2: Revenge of the Library Ghost #3: Secrets of the Bloody Tower #4: Ghosters go Camping.

Also please note, you do not need to read the series in order. So take a peak, read through the synopsis and see which one will be your first victim!

Enjoy! Happy reading.


Thank you so much Diana for sending us an e-copy to read and review.

We can’t wait to dive into more.

5 out of 5 stars!

Better You Believe is a collection of short stories. All urban legends Tony has come across over the years, while on his own adventures.

Nothing better than the perfect scary story as a kid. What we may not realise at that age, is a lot of the stories that have circled around come from urban legends our parents or family members have heard.

Tony not only brought attention to urban legends I myself had never heard of. He brought them to life, putting his own little spin on them. These are tales that will stick with me for a very long time, perhaps even for life.

These bizarre, creepy, strange stories are very fast paced and will leave you itching for more of each.

Some of the characters are so relate-able and you can’t help but feel emotions along side them, some of these myths will come across very cheeky, but know that there is a good life lesson to learn in each. So be sure to pay attention to the underlining message.

Tony’s writing is so enjoyable. No added filler, no drawn out sections, great story development, the characters are done really well and as I mentioned each story is very fast paced. You will fly through this collection in no time while being entertained the whole time, you may even be shocked by some of the twists that come along.

Yes! Of course I would recommend Better You Believe.

Sour is a mix of some of the urban legends you may have read in “Better You Believe”ย ย all wrapped together in one perfect creepy bundle.

The moment I started to dive into Sour I thought… YES! This is it. I wanted more of these stories and I am getting just that.

Sam has to takes some drastic steps to try and rectify a huge loss after some very poor choices but again things may never be the same and might be better off just left alone.

I really enjoyed Sour, so happy I picked it up immediately after Better You Believe. It helped satisfy some of the thirst I had for more on these legends.

Again I would recommend Sour as well! I may even recommend reading them one after the other so everything is fresh in your mind….. Your welcome!

4 out of 5 stars!

A unique read!

I am a fan of odd, eerie, gruesome reads and The Scrimshaw Worm hit on those themes well.

Your main character, Will seems like a really good guy. He will protect those that just can’t or won’t protect themselves, he also has a soft spot in his heart for some in his life. After a harsh yet passionate act Will’s choices have forced him to serve as a doctor on a Whaling Voyage, even though he promised himself never again. During his journey on the ship they save a women who seems to be a damsel in distress from a dyer situation. Shortly after, crew members start to disappear, some are attacked, some are killed and left for the rest of the crew to find and yet no one knows what’s happening.

The Scrimshaw Worm leaves you antsy to know what or who is attacking the crew.

I enjoyed The Scrimshaw Worm and I am happy I picked it up.

I only have a couple very small reasons why I took a star off my rating and please keep in mind these are my own opinions and you may not feel the same when picking up this read for yourself. These reasons also don’t take away from the story line, characters, plot or Daniel’s writing.ย 

I found the down time in-between the action, although short and not drawn out, was very slow. I wanted to rush through those moments in order to get back to the action. Again this is most likely just me and it may show that the book was well written because I obviously wanted more. Also the down time was not just filler, it was information that was crucial to the story so I had to slow myself down and take it all in. My only other reason was that you got such a strong glimpse of who Will was back on the mainland and a sneak peak into one relationship in particular he held and I found that I missed not having that closure at the end of the story to see how things were off the waters.

All in all I would recommend this read. I think it will be unlike any of the novels you have in your collection currently.

5 out of 5 stars!

The Beast of Bodmin was absolutely hair-raising!

Edmondson had me hooked from the very first page.

Thrillers are my jam!… but putting a spin on it like this, man or beast? What a ride! Knowing a murderer was on the loose was nerve wrecking enough. Not knowing if it was human or some hungry animal had you at the edge of your seat.

Not only is Mark’s writing so easily devoured but the story and characters were executed perfectly. Your main character, Jo had already been through so much which only made her stronger, while also showing her vulnerable side. Although Jo is about to go through SO much more! This creates the perfect protagonist for the reader. Someone you can truly relate with and start to gain some type of emotions for, causing you to become a bit anxious to see if Jo survives in the end.

The characters that surrounded and supported Jo were also so lovely. This novel is truly character driven in the best way possible.

I found myself constantly trying to crack the case while reading, getting into the true mindset of a detective. At times I truly felt I had figured out exactly who or what was committing these murders. Just as I got to that point there was a large plot twist! This was the real gem of this story! … The Beast of Bodmin never got boring!

This will be a favourite of mine for years to come.

10 out of 5 stars! (Yes it’s that good)

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

The Moments Between is positively memorising!

Let me start by saying I have been an enormous fan of Natalie’s work for a couple years now. I have read nearly all of her published pieces and dare I say…I think this is her best yet. That comment alone says it all.

The Moments Between is an incredible concept and Natalie executed it perfectly. Truly gripping, yet notably warming. This is a novel you won’t want to put down but will also be terrified to see how it ends.

We’ve all experienced nightmares before but Claire’s nightmare goes beyond a sleepless night! Claire is constantly living in panic, desperate to find a way to keep her husband alive. This would be torment for anyone, let alone a mom of young kids. You will experience a explosion of multiple emotions throughout. One moment you will be in awe of the charming, incredibly relatable characters and the wonderful life they live. Next you will be holding your breath, pleading that everyone is safe.

If reading about this extraordinary family wasn’t enough, this story is packed full of strong underlining messages. For example; Claire and her sister are extremely different women, one is constantly infuriated by the other while also admiring her beauty. While the other is flat out jealous of the others life in a whole. This is where the message of “the grass is always greener on the other side” comes in. As they work through their differences it creates a stronger bond between the two that is so enjoyable. Claire also experiences such gut wrenching fears that leads her to ask a question that I am sure so many of us had wondered before “if God exists, why does he allow bad things to happen?”

I can’t help but feel that the positive moments throughout this read may be a tiny sneak peak into Natalie’s true life story.

Honestly I could go on and on with my thoughts of this book. You just need to read it! Perhaps this is the perfect read to end 2019 off with.


Thank you so much Natalie for sending me a e-copy to review. I cant help but devour everything you write. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next.

downloadIt’s New Year’s Eve 1980, and the students of DeAngelo High School are lacing up their skates for the All-Night New Year’s Lock-In at the Rollerville Roller Disco. Some of them just want to skate and dance the night away to the pounding disco music. Some want to pull a few pranks and have a few laughs. For others, like Dan Parsons, tonight is a chance to move on and forget about his ex-girlfriend, maybe even flirt with Denise, that cute girl behind the snack counter. It seems like nothing can go wrong.But there’s a massive blizzard raging outside, thick snow and ice are piling up against all the doors. There are those rumors that Rollerville was built over part of the old graveyard next door, and someone out there is watching. Also, a strange homeless man in the parking lot says that tonight will be the start of the so-called “Year of Blood.”A night of skating and New Year’s fun is about to turn into a night of violence and bloody mayhem in Disco Deathtrap.

A safe night turns to be a complete BLOODBATH!

Roubique has done it again! He has to be one of my all time favourite 80’s slasher authors.

Cameron has this way of creating these lively characters, memorable characters, puts them in this overwhelmingly terrifying situation. Some may give up, others will fight till the very end. Meanwhile the reader sits there biting their nails…. waiting to see who survives.

Like most 80’s slasher films you think you know who’s done it!….. But with Roubique’s evil masterpieces… you end up being so very, very wrong. Not only are you shocked on who it was, the murderers motives are gripping their backstories are so detailed. Cameron’s writing in itself is so extremely detailed. Be warned, these reads are not for squeamish people.

In Disco Deathtrap no one is safe! Only one way to find out who survives….

download (1)Ronnie has the perfect summer job at the Indian Hill Golf Course. All day he gets to ride around on mowers and golf carts, check out the beautiful drink cart girls, joke around with his best friend Mark, and get plenty of fresh air and sunlight.That all changes when a huge late spring hailstorm blows in one night, leaving the golf course in shambles. As they clean up all the limbs and downed trees, Ronnie and Mark learn about the Native American Kikawa tribe that was brutally massacred at the top of the hill near the seventeenth green, and the evil medicine man known as Chief Tomahawk who supposedly put a curse on the land. It seems that the curse may prove to be real as the golf course is dogged with bad luck, and a dark figure wearing a wooden Chief’s mask and a black-feathered headdress is watching them from the shadows.Now, in preparation for the biggest golf tournament of the year, Ronnie and the maintenance crew have to come in and work through the night. They are about to find out that Chief Tomahawk has returned, and he wants revenge for his slaughtered people.

The perfect summer job!… Or so Ronnie thought

Nightmares can hide anywhere… you never know when they will strike, perhaps for an awful revenge!

Golf Curse was such a wild ride! Indian Hill Golf Course really does sound like the perfect summer job, that is until the stories of the land being cursed starts to add up. Enough to terrify the believers anyhow… maybe not so much for the non-believers.

Again the detail in Roubique’s novels astound me. Each character is perfectly placed with a good amount of a background story, helping you decide who the trouble makers are and who the goody too-shoes are. I don’t know about you but I find myself already planning out who may be the first to go simply based on their personalities. Than comes in this whole story behind Indian Hill Golf Course and why they say it’s cursed.

They do say write what you know, which is exactly what Roubique has done. Having the knowledge from working at a golf course himself and man has it worked out for him.

Cameron’s work will keep your heart pounding. Be prepared!

An author I highly recommend across the board. Oh and I can’t forget! His mind blowing covers are his own incredible paintings.

5 out of 5 stars

Perfection! An anthology at its best!

Autumncrow is packed full of eerie goodness. Each story is so incredibly unique, some with a sweet underlining story that turns dark… others with a down right horrifying feeling throughout.

Chaney has created a bone chilling setting with some of the best characters. Each story will sink its teeth into you.

I couldn’t put Autumncrow down. Something about Cameron’s writing… I was completely immersed in this fictional town. One of the best parts was none of these stories were predictable, each had such an element of surprise.

I don’t think I could even tell you if I had a favourite, they were all so vivid and intense. Maybe my only negative to say is….. I just wanted more.

Cameron has impressed me yet again. I can not wait to see what he comes up with next.

4 out of 5 stars

It’s always hard to review the next book in a trilogy or series without giving spoilers away.

The Toll is a book that had so many readers itching to get their hands on. Needing answers, wanting to find out exactly want happens. Thanks to Simon and Schuster Canada I received a surprise arc copy right on release day.

I have seen such a mix of reviews for this conclusion on such a hyped young adult trilogy and I am here to say I am on the positive side of these reviews.

Neal Shusterman created this incredible unique world, with such meaningful characters, a powerful underlining story and lets not forget his incredible writing.

The Toll only added to this creation. Not only does the reader receive closure on so many open moments lingering from Scythe and Thunderhead but the story adds even more twists and turns keeping you committed to the end.

The Toll does surpass 600 pages making this a longer read than your average 300-350 page novel. I may say my only small negative on this read was the filler. There were times when I did find my mind drifting and it seemed to be during those moments. Parts that aren’t necessarily crucial to the plot or characters. Although; when I pick up a larger sized book I expect there to be some filler. The author has taken all this time to create this fantastic world and they want to be sure they are showing the reader each and every corner of it.

All in all I really did enjoy this read and I look forward to what Neal has in store next.


“It is our nature… to surpass nature.”

A psychological thriller at its best!

Your Move is intense.

It will have you on the end of your seat and your heart pumping.

Michelle blew me away with her writing style, she did so many things right. Not only did she dedicate the perfect amount of time to the plot, really building the perfect layout for the story line but Your Move is also extremely character driven. It’s not easy to get that perfect delicate balance of both worlds but Michelle nailed it.

thumbnail_IMG_3945Your Move will keep you completely engrossed throughout the whole read. Just as you are getting comfortable and really feel you know where the story is going, Michelle throws you for a complete spiral.

Claire will experience memories of her past or the story may jump from present to the future, yet you don’t get a full view into Claire’s history and why she’s hiding. You get that perfect tidbit here and there… Just enough to keep you gripping on… wanting more.

I admired Claire’s strength! I also adored some of the relationships that started throughout this novel, so heart warming and a large piece of the story you will want to cling onto.

Your Move is everything I could ask for in a psychological thriller. It will really mess with your mind. Be prepared!



Thank you so much to Michelle Young for sending me this copy for review.

Michelle is a Canadian author of two poetry books, Salt & Light (2017) and Without Fear (2019). Your Move is her debut novel.
