Staff Reviews

Book Review: A Death in Malta
This book is both a manual for how to spot corruption, a recipe for its undoing and a shining example of why journalism is so important.

Book Review: Lights Out
The tender moments almost had me wishing someone would break into my house just to take care of me (just kidding, mostly).

Book Review: What Feelings Like Best
Many books in the “emotions for kids” genre pitch their subject too cutesy, preachy or simplistic. Oziewicz and Zajac get it just right.

Book Review: The Fireborne Blade
With a sweet sapphic love story thrown in, this is a perfect wee fantasy for fans of the genre looking for a short yet satisfying read.
