Saint’s Blood by Sebastien de Castell
In Saint’s Blood, the third instalment of the Greatcoats series, our heroes Falcio, Kest and Brasti struggle to save their country from an ever-growing threat.

Knight’s Shadow by Sebastien de Castell
Knight’s Shadow is a darker, more twisted tale than Traitor’s Blade, but I thoroughly enjoyed where de Castell is taking his heroes. A highly entertaining read that I recommend to those who enjoy a good adventure.

The third instalment in this series begins almost immediately where The Mime Order left off – with Paige coming to grips with the deception that had been revealed to her. But her tenuous grip on the Mime Order and uneasy alliance with there Rephaim leave her with very little time to recover, especially when a new threat is revealed.

Letters to the Lost by Brigid Kemmerer
Letters to the Lost explores grief in so many ways that it left me breathless. It wasn’t just about a dead mother and a dead sister, it was about loss of innocence and loss of hope.
