Brimming with sci-fi goodness, it’s a novel positively packed with interesting ideas and thought provoking characters
Book Review: Those Girls
Alongside her new friends Aisleen and Glad, they navigate friendships, relationships and the trials and tribulations of a new work force.
Book Review: The Summer Hikaru Died
Creeping atmosphere, intricately detailed designs and a disconcerting feeling of solitude all come together in this incredible horror manga.
Book Review: Kick the Latch
As I followed Sonia through the everyday mundanity, gruelling work, and some unsavoury characters, her racetrack became its own little city.
