Rating 5/5 It truly says something when you choose this month’s review to be on revolts. New Year, new resolutions I suppose. Only have to look at the world around you to realise the need for change has become dire. Terry Deary must certainly have come to the realisation when he decided to release his book, Revolting; a simplified historical book looking at the world’s most memorable and unmemorable revolts through the comedic lens.

Rating 5/5 Happy New Year and what a better way to end 2025 than a review on the final tale in Jay Kristoff’s Empire of The Vampire trilogy.

And when I mean ‘transgressive’ I mean very twisted and extreme so for those faint of heart be wary if you consider delving into LaRocca’s world. Much like LaRocca’s story collections, We Are Always Tender
