It is my great pleasure to welcome an author who’s work I only recently became very familiar with; Gillian Philip. If you have been following my reviews on her Rebel Angel series, you will see how much I love everything about this fantastic series, which currently stands at Frost Child (e-book Prequel), Firebrand, Bloodstone, and the latest, Wolfsbane. Hi, Gillian, welcome to Book Chick City. Many of the readers will know how obsessed I am with The Rebel Angel Series, but could you tell them, in your own words, what it’s about?…
Wolfsbane (Rebel Angel #3) by Gillian Philip Strident (Aug 2012) | Paperback, 435 pages Fantasy Warning: May contain spoilers to previous books Every so often you get a book, or if you are really lucky, a series that seems to defy words in order to explain how good the series is.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: I live in the north-east highlands of Scotland, with one husband, two children, three dogs (Cluny, Milo and Otto), two psychotic cats (the Ghost and the Darkness), a slayer hamster (Buffy), three chickens (Mapp, Lucia and Mrs Norris) and a lot of nervous fish. I have taken a solemn vow not to get any more pets. I will probably break this vow. Writing for a living is (a) what I always wanted to do; (b) occasionally frustrating; (c) a lot of fun – I take dictation from…
Firebrand (Rebel Angels #1) by Gillian Philip Strident (Aug 2010) | Paperback, 384 pages | Fantasy Before reviewing this book, I have a confession to make. Every time I hear the term, “Young Adult”, I run screaming from the book. Mainly due to the fact that most of the books in this genre seem to be a variation of Twilight or Vampire Diaries (well, the one’s I’ve read anyway). Though there are people my age who still like these books and find them entertaining, I am past the teenage angst stage and prefer…
