Holding On By Our Fingertips Anthology

holdingonbyourfingertips

An anthology of science fiction and speculative stories exploring the many different reactions and experiences of people during the 24 hours leading up to the end of the world. Our base instinct is to survive, but when the end is nigh, do we simply lie down and die? Or do we celebrate our life and achievements?
Love, loss, forgiveness, revenge, or just that final goodbye…

Review of NETGALLEY arc The Ballad of Smallhope & Pennyroyal by Jodi Taylor

21 October

I love Taylor’s writing – no one else writes with quite a full-on passion and commitment she infuses in her storytelling, so that I’m frequently rocking with hysterical laughter, yet can find myself sobbing during the next chapter.

Review of NETGALLEY arc Saving Susy Sweetchild – Book 3 of the Silver Screen Historical Mystery series by Barbara Hambly

16 October

I’m a fan of Barbara Hambly’s writing. I’ve now read several books in her superb long-running Benjamin January series, featuring the fortunes of a freed man of colour living in New Orleans during the first half of the seventeenth century – see my review of Death and Hard Cider and The Nubian’s Curse. So when I saw she’d also started a murder mystery series set in 1920s Hollywood, I couldn’t resist getting hold of the available books in the series – see my review of One Extra Corpse. Needless to say, it was a treat to see this offering appear on the Netgalley dashboard and I immediately requested an arc.

The series, Her Majesty’s Royal Coven by Juno Dawson is one of my all-time favourites – and if you want to know why, then check out my reviews of Her Majesty’s Royal Coven and Shadow Cabinet. So I jumped at the chance to listen to the audiobook version of the prequel novella, explaining how the Royal Coven came into being.

Review of NETGALLEY arc Time-Marked Warlock – Book 1 of The Chronos series by Shami Stovall

3 October

It was the cover that drew me to this one – and the fact that I’m a huge fan of well-told time travel stories and an even huger fan of a cracking SFF murder mystery.
