#BookReview – Traitors

September 30, 2013 by Icy Sedgwick 2 Comments

I can’t believe it’s a year since I wrote a review of Carrie Clevenger’s Crooked Fang, but here I am again with my review of the novella-length follow-up, Traitors. Again narrated by sexy vampire bassist Xan Marcelles, Traitors picks up shortly after Crooked Fang. Xan is without a band, and bored in Pinecliffe, Colorado. The […]

[Book Review] The Angel of Shadwell

July 2, 2013 by Icy Sedgwick Leave a Comment

Every now and then you come across a book and it’s literally the title that makes you buy it. I came across The Angel of Shadwell by Jonathan Templar on Facebook (I think) and being a sucker for all things London, I downloaded a sample for my Kindle. I didn’t even read all three chapters […]

[Book Review] Camdeboo Nights

May 8, 2013 by Icy Sedgwick Leave a Comment

Anyone who reads this blog will know I’m a big fan of South African wordmistress Nerine Dorman, and it’s my pleasure to review one of her most recent offerings, Camdeboo Nights. Set in her native land, Dorman tells the tale of Helen Ashfield, a young woman trying to come to terms with the fact her […]

[Book Review] I Know You Know

May 2, 2013 by Icy Sedgwick 2 Comments

It’s a little known fact but I do actually enjoy reading thrillers. If someone manages to combine thrillers with a spot of the supernatural then all the better! I’ve been reading Helen Howell’s blog for some time now, and she posts regular serials and flash fiction. In February, her first adult novella, I Know You […]

[Book Review] Mojo Queen and Red House

March 20, 2013 by Icy Sedgwick 2 Comments

I don’t normally write reviews of more than one book at once, but considering how close together I read these two, and the fact that they’re the first two books of a series, then I thought I’d make an exception for the phenomenally talented Sonya Clark. Mojo Queen and Red House are both about paranormal […]

[Book Review] Outlaw

January 3, 2013 by Icy Sedgwick 1 Comment

Anyone who knows me will know that I have a fondness for Westerns, and those written by Matthew Pizzolato are no exception. I welcomed him over to the Cabinet back in October for an interview in which Matt discusses the challenges of marketing Westerns, so to help with that marketing, I want to put up my […]
