I received a copy of this book from Scholastic Australia in exchange for an honest review, but ended up listening to the audiobook, which I borrowed from my local library. All The Crooked Saints tells the story of a world where miracles are real, and so are the saints that compel them. It takes place […]
It’s not often I can say there isn’t a single thing I dislike about a book. Please note that I listened to the audiobook version narrated by Steve West and Fiona Hardingham. Things I liked: The setting Is it Scottish, is it Irish? Is it a little of both? I’m not sure. The atmosphere Very […]
SUMMARY Amy is in love with the brooding fictional hero of a book series called Otherworld. Alex is a vampire hunter who accidentally finds himself in Amy’s world. Can the two figure out why their world met, and can Alex stop the vampire he’s hunting before Amy’s world is turned as dark as his own? […]
Well this was definitely a marked improvement from The Girl Who Cried Monster. Here we have the tale of Billy. Billy is on his way to his first summer camp, Camp Nightmoon. Y’know, yay camp… Never went to summer camp myself, England didn’t really have them. SO they always seem like such an awesome novelty […]
*Deep Breath* Where to even bloody begin. *Rubs eyes tiredly and sighs* This is by and far the WORST attempt at a monster book I have ever read. And I read a lot of monster books. Horror is my thing, it’s what I do. If you don’t believe me check out the Redshirts Blog next […]
I put off reading this book for more than a week. Not because I needed a break from the series, I didn’t. But because I was scared. Memories of this book flooded back to me, memories of staying up at night and reading under my covers with my pocket torch. Memories of the dummies, Mr. […]
I don’t know how I felt reading this. No, really I don’t. A mirror that turns you invisible is a good concept, but I don’t get why your reflection running around instead of you is a bad thing. I know that in the book they were the characters dark alter ego’s and that’s fine I […]
Well hello once again… *The lights burn brightly over Archer’s head as he looks around, the sandy heat sapping all the energy he has. Taneika is bouncing around excited to be at a pyramid, Nemo too is happy to be here.* The heat is killing me but the backdrop of pyramids seems appropriate… I’ve just […]
Finally. Finally we are getting somewhere. After 2 books that were decidedly meh I finally got a book that moved at a decent pace and was interesting to boot! Here is a story that plays with the old superstition that you shouldn’t have a photo taken because the camera will steal your soul. This is […]
Well, that was a slow read. It may have only been 128 pages but it took me about a week of stopping and starting to read it. And it’s not that there was anything particularly wrong with the writing, that’s the one thing that sets Stine’s Goosebumps works apart from his adult endeavours, Goosebumps is […]
