Staff Reviews
Book Review: Martyr!
Cyrus is such a lovable character, even in the throes of his addiction, his view of the world and all it contains is a delight for the reader.
Book Review: Tempest of Tea
I devoured this luscious fantasy. The sinister, vampire-riddled world is a perfect setting for our Peaky Blinders-esque found family.
Book Review: Interesting Facts About Space
The writing style makes this book – it is direct, while veering off into all sorts of unexpected directions.
Book Review: An African History of Africa
The uncomplicated writing and interesting subject matter had me wishing that the book was longer, so don’t let its size daunt you!
