I saw this book in Foyles when I was making my bookshop rounds in London, and I thought it looked like something that I would be interested in. I had been after more Korean literature that I could sink my teeth into, and this collection of short stories that seemed to be about serial killers was right up my alley.
For those who know me, or who are regular readers of my blog, you will know that Kerri Maniscalco became one of my favourite authors of all time after I read the Stalking Jack the Ripper series. There was something about her writing that kept pulling me in, and I loved every single character that she wrote. Even though I was sad about the story of Audrey Rose Wadsworth coming to a close, hearing that Maniscalco had a new series coming out that had to do with witches and Princes of Hell was just *chefs kiss*. …
For those of you who are regular readers of my blog, you will know that the Stalking Jack the Ripper series is one of my ultimate faves. The characters, the settings, the murder… Everything about it is *mwah*. I’ve always loved murder (okay, that sounds weird) and I’ve always been intrigued by forensics. So, it should come to you as no surprise that I like reading about things like that as well. I was looking for books similar to SJtR ON Goodreads, and came upon Spectacle. …
Throw Me to the Wolves is another book that I had to read for my MA Creative Writing course. I was actually supposed to meet Patrick McGuinness, but it had to be cancelled due to current happenings in the world. Even though I haven’t really enjoyed the core texts of the course, the secondary reading has been surprisingly enjoyable! …
The Stalking Jack the Ripper series is one of my favourite series of all time. I just can’t get enough of the writing, the characters, the romance, the mystery… Just everything about it is amazing. So when the cover, the premise and the title was revealed for Escaping from Houdini, I was SO SO SO excited!
I am so happy to have been able to read this sequel pretty soon after reading the first one. I don’t think I could have waited a whole year. The first book – The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter – was absolutely amazing, so I had very high hopes that Europen Travel for the Monstrous Gentlewoman would be the same. …
I was browsing Audible, looking for a book to listen to when I came across The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter. From the title, I could tell that it was a take on Jekyll and Hyde. I read the premise, and it was something that I knew that I would really enjoy. I love reading books about classic literature, and I love reading re-tellings of them. …
Last time I read something by Lynn Weingarten was 3 years ago and it was Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls. It was an ok book. Nothing amazing but it was entertaining. I saw that Weingarten had another book out and I was intrigued to see whether her writing style had developed and what new thrilling plots she would come up with this time. So I dived right in to Bad Girls With Perfect Faces… …
The Damned graphic novel series is actually the first graphic novel series that I have ever requested from Netgalley. I thought that it would be weird reading a graphic novel on my phone/laptop as illustrations are a massive part in the storytelling process. However, it turned out to be not that bad! …
I’m always looking for new graphic novels to read! I love discovering new stories in different formats. After seeing The Damned being advertised on Netgalley, I read the description and it sounded like something that I had never read before, so I decided to give it a go! …
