 The Darkness Bites Back by Laura R. Samotin; Ben Alderson I have to start this review by saying that I adored The Darkness Bites Back by Laura R. Samotin and Ben Alderson. The Romeo and Juliet retelling set in modern-day Oxford,  Alexander and Tobias are great characters and they have brilliant chemistry. The dialogue is really well written and the interplay between them is great. There is angst and romance and angstyromance .If you liked Interview with a Vampire then I highly recommend trying this book.  Thanks to the publisher, the author, and to Netgalley for this ARC

 Shake Out the Ghosts by Al Hess The premise of S hake Out the Ghosts was very interesting and I'll keep this review spoiler free. It's a hodgepodge of a few different genres and overall that works very well. There are darker themes in this book so I would advise caution but they are well handled. The two central characters are likeable and the story progresses well but at times it can get a little overwhelming but it is well worth a read. Thanks to the publisher, the author, and to Netgalley for this ARC.

Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee An Epically Short History of Our Kings and Queens. This was a fun audiobook.  Charlie Higson is an engaging and funny narrator. The book is interesting although short but we knew that from the title. The chronological order to the recounting makes sense and it helps to keep track of who we are encountering. It appeals to those of us who grew up watching Horrible Histories. Thanks to the author, the publisher, and to Netgalley for this ALC. 

  The Library at the Edge of the Wood Part of the Cozy Cottage Series  by Liz Delton Hello you, I'm back with more reviews and I start today with an audiobook called  The Library at the Edge of the Wood and its part of the Cozy Cottage Series  by Liz Delton . I really enjoyed this. It's such a cosy fantasy tale.  Everson's such a lovely character. If you like found family stories as I do then you should give this a listen. The author has created such a warm and welcoming world that feels vivid and inviting. The narrator is so good too, really plays the characters well and captures their voices.  Thank you to the publisher, the author, and  NetGalley as always  fo r this ALC.
