City of Ghosts (Downside Ghosts #3) by Stacia Kane | Harper Voyager (Aug 2010) Paperback, 408 pages | Urban Fantasy I have now read all three books of the Downside Ghosts series in quick succession and I am so glad I did. I don’t think I could have waited a year for each book to be released. I am already having withdrawal symptoms knowing I have to wait until autumn 2011 for book four, it’s well… agonising. This is such a fantastic series. There’s enough kick-arse action to keep urban…
Unholy Magic (Downside Ghosts #2) by Stacia Kane | Harper Voyager (July 2010) Paperback, 360 pages | Urban Fantasy After reading and absolutely loving Unholy Ghosts, I was somewhat nervous about reading Unholy Magic. I’ve been caught out before with a new series, reading and liking the first book only to be disappointed with the second, but thankfully, this was not the case with Unholy Magic. This book is AMAZING and I am totally in love with this series! Unholy Magic begins roughly where Unholy Ghosts ended. Chess is still working…

What can I say about this series that hasn’t already been said? Although to sum it up in three words – amazing, unique and addictive. The story of my favourite paranormal sisters continues in Bone Magic, book seven in the Sisters…
Noughts & Crosses by Malorie Blackman (Noughts & Crosses #1) Corgi (Aug 2006) | Paperback, 479 pages Alternate History | Romance | Young Adult Wow, this book is outstanding. I couldn’t put it down! As someone who is in her thirties, I wondered whether this book would be too young and the writing immature, but this wasn’t the case at all. This is an intelligent and sensitively written story about two friends, Callum, a white-skinned nought and Sephy a dark-skinned Cross and their relationship as they grow up. How society…
