I don't know why, but I associate cute sidekicks with fantasy, and this is definitely more space opera (with added spice)! There's still a lot of fantasy here though, I just don't usually 'get it' as much in galactic travel-set books, but here, the a

| Loosely based on the FHB book A Little Princess, the author adds a layer of horror on top, which for me, just didn’t work. I enjoyed the characterisation of Victorian England but the over-use of unnecessarily complex words slows down the read. The st ...more | |

| 3.5 rounded up. As someone who normally reads outside the MC romance genre, I found Resilient more character-focused and emotionally grounded than I expected. I expected, and got, gritty, spicy, alpha males with elements of domination. This book howe ...more | |

Amber Daulton's review
of
Boy, Resisting - Silent, Spy, Survivor? (Rebels and Resistance):
"Boy, Resisting by J.H. Foster is a compelling, fast-paced addition to the Rebels and Resistance series, for middle-grade readers (ages 10–14). Written as a personal notebook from the perspective of a young Jewish boy named Freddie, the story follows "

| I really enjoyed this novel, set in an era I don't usually read, so it was interesting from that viewpoint alone. Set during the Crusades, the author explores ideas of faith, identity and belonging. The protagonists journey for answers, balancing Jew ...more | |
"A heart-warming cozy fantasy.
What I always love about Jan's work is her ability to blend fantasy and history so seamlessly. She is great at creating immersive scenes that make it so easy for the reader to visualise what is happening. As Above, So Belo" Read more of this review » |

| An enjoyable and easy read, with a good cast of characters. I loved the gradual discovery of deviants walking among us (big fan of magical realism), and most of the characters were well-drawn and distinct. The storyline maintained a steady pace, buil ...more | |

"AS ABOVE, SO BELOW by Jan Foster is an imaginative and richly textured historical fantasy, and much of its power comes from the author's deft command of language. She writes with a precision and deliberateness that instantly evokes the era of post‑He"

| I'm a long-time fan of Amber Daulton's books - especially her historical romances, so I dived into this series with eagerness. On many levels, I wasn't disappointed. Ms Daulton writes bad boy redemption arcs so well, so plausibly, you can almost imag ...more | |
