January went kind of quickly this time around. Well it did to me because time flies when you’re in a good book and so here’s what I read…
‘Civil Blood: The Vampire Rights Case That Changed a Nation’ by Chris Hepler
In this different take on Vampires Chris Hepler delivers and immerses readers into a biological/political world where those with the vamp pathogen have certain rights. There’s espionage feels paired with the concept of vampires in entirely new territory…

One Line Review:
“An alternative but realistic take on vampires with sharp political and biological edges…”
Rating: 4 Stars
‘The Word of the Rock God’ by Brooklynn Dean
Life on the road in a small venue rock and roll band paired with a tale of biblical level temptation – yes please. Brooklynn Dean delivers with a uniquely immersive writing style that’ll encapsulate and provoke your thoughts. It’s different but well worth a read.
One Line Review:
“An intimately descriptive fable that merges rock and roll with a powerful message…“
Rating: 5 Stars
‘Husband for Rent’ by Kristina Gallo
Kristina Galllo tells a gritty story that could easily compare to a soap opera but with way more bite about multiple characters all on the fringes of the underworld. There’s deception, threat and even murder. A short but gripping read.
One Line Review:
“A tale full of twisting suspense about those on the fringes of society…”
Rating: 4 Stars
‘Deadly Odds’ by Allen Wyler
For a story about one nerd looking to make it with a woman it goes deep into the criminal/terrorism underworld. Allen Wyler’s style kept me turning pages and wanting to know more about Arnold Gold who starts out with holding back the truth but for good reason…
One Line Review:
“He’s in deep with the big fishes and the odds are hardly in his favour…“
Rating: 4 Stars
‘Moojag and the Auticode Secret’ by N.E. McMorran
Neurodiversity takes centre stage in this colourful unique tale where N.E McMorran sets a fine example of awareness and inclusion while also telling an entertaining story. There aren’t many books like this one and for the wonderful message it stands for its worth reading and applauding.
One Line Review:
“Colourful and imaginative with a positive message about being different…”
Rating: 5 Stars
