Hair Past a Freckle. Monday, 21 November 2016. Book Review - Not So Much, Said the Cat by Michael Swanwick. Michael Swanwick is a Hugo and Nebula award winning author and has numerous fans of his novels and short stories. However, it's only in the last few years that I've discovered how much I enjoy speculative fiction so this is my introduction to his writing. Is truly chilling, I really enjoyed this one but it's also one of the most disturbing stories I've read in a long time. If I was really pushe...

Hair Past a Freckle. Monday, 28 September 2015. Book Review - The Contrary Tale of the Butterfly Girl by Ishbelle Bee. I know the old cliché is to 'never judge a book by its cover' buh a cover as gorgeous as this how could I possibly resist? The blurb then sealed the deal;. A dark and twisted Victorian melodrama, like Alice in Wonderland goes to Hell, from the author of The Singular and Extraordinary Tale of Mirror and Goliath. Caught between Professor Hummingbird and the demon Angelcakes, Loveheart find...

Hair Past a Freckle: Book Review - In Her Wake by Amanda Jennings
http://hairpastafreckle72.blogspot.com/2016/09/book-review-in-her-wake-by-amanda.html
Hair Past a Freckle. Friday, 23 September 2016. Book Review - In Her Wake by Amanda Jennings. I was late to the party with this one which is ridiculous when you consider Orenda Books are rapidly becoming one of my favourite publishers and I kept reading scores of glowing reviews. Still, better late than never and seeing how much of the book is set in Cornwall perhaps it was fitting that I read most of it while on holiday in the county. In Her Wake is published by Orenda Books. Book Review - The Exiled by...

Hair Past a Freckle. Friday, 1 August 2014. Book Review: Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes. Broken Monsters is one of those novels that are impossible to pigeon hole. At first glance it's a police procedural thriller but it quickly becomes apparent there is a supernatural, urban fantasy element to the book and the reader is treated to a story that is dark and creepy but also a thought- provoking look at what makes a monster. Broken Monsters is published in the UK by Harper Collins. Book Review - Everyone ...

Hair Past a Freckle. Thursday, 9 October 2014. Book Review - Quarter Past Two on a Wednesday Afternoon by Linda Newbery. This is a difficult review to write, not because I didn't enjoy it, quite the opposite in fact, but it's a story that's teeming with secrets and I'm mindful to give nothing away. My thanks to the author and publishers for my copy received through NetGalley in return for my honest review. Quarter Past Two on a Wednesday Afternoon is published in the UK by Doubleday.
