This is a slightly unusual blog tour post for me, because I’m actually here today to introduce you to an anthology that I have a story in, under my Adie Hart author hat! As such, this won’t exactly be a review, but more of a glimpse at what you can find in this fifteen-story, summer-themed anthology of fairy tale and folklore inspired fantasy, out today!
I had a whale of a time with Grave Secrets, the first book in Alice James’ paranormal romp of a series, so I jumped at the chance to be on the blog tour for book two, Grave Danger!
What a delight this is – a sharp, unflinching, and yet often very funny peek into the world of schoolmistresses in the 1920s. Malory Towers from behind the scenes, with all the backstabbing, inspections, and questions of morality the teachers need to face.
This smart, twisty mythological retelling really took me by surprise!
I often find I have a little difficulty with reviewing detective stories, because if you don’t want to give too much away you can’t really talk about the plot! So what I decided to do today is round up my three most recent reads from the Crime Classics series into one post, so you can get a glimpse of each and how I felt about them. All three of these were review copies sent free of charge by British Library Publishing, and as always all opinions are my own. Obviously, content warnings for death and murder apply to them all.
I’m delighted to be popping back into today to kick off the blog tour for Woodwitch, the much-anticipated sequel to Hedgewitch! This wonderfully warm middle grade fantasy series has really won a place in my heart, and book two is a brilliant continuation of the adventures of Hedgely Coven!
I’m really enjoying some comfort reading at the moment, so of course I’ve turned to middle grade fantasy for some mild peril and magic. All of these were sent to me free of charge via NetGalley or by the publisher, but as always my opinions are my own – and here they are!
I had so much fun with this slightly ridiculous classic mystery set in a second-hand bookshop!
A fiendish wintry mystery that’s perfect for reading in the colder weather!
This pastoral mystery is a little bit less dramatic than some of the other entries in the Crime Classics series, but it’s a very atmospheric rural read!
