Rachel Reviews: Time Lines by Guilio A. Savo
I've just finished reading Time Lines and I have to write my review straightaway in order to capture my mood and my thoughts on it. I can honestly say that I have never read anything quite like this and I'm not sure that I am going to be able to relay my awe sufficiently at Savo's vision and the way that he has managed to craft it into a book, enough to do it justice, but I will try.

Rachel Reviews: The Ballad of Midnight and McRae by Jess Lederman. Top Story - September 2025.
I'm not sure where to start with this book because it isn't one thing. It's a mash-up of many things although that description, whilst it may be apt, does not do justice to the well-crafted, rich composition that this is from Lederman

Rachel Reviews: The Hollow Pulse by Nathan Middleton
I've been to Seattle and whilst it was nice while I was there, I know that it has the reputation for grey days and wet weather. For the setting of a book about a killer on the loose, it's moody, grey, brooding. Pathetic fallacy in spades.

Rachel Reviews: Hessman's Necklace by Nicholas Litchfield
I had high hopes for Hessman's Necklace from the outset and I wasn't disappointed. It was fast-paced, descriptive, with a tight plot and convincingly drawn characters throughout. It was, it was fair to say, a good read.

Rachel Reviews: Truth and Transformation (Taking Wonderland) by Martin Baynton. Top Story - August 2025.
To take Lewis Carroll's timeless "Alice" books and a selection of their uniquely bizarre and unsettling elements and craft them into something which has the same rich taste but a new author's seasoning is the move of a bold writer, I think.

Rachel Reviews: The Lost Color of Namiri by Elisabeth Fowler
Gosh, I did enjoy this book, made all the sweeter because I was sceptical about whether I would. I'm glad I took a chance. Enter the world of Namiri, the dominion of panthers. But this is not a place of harmony. Far from it. Rival tribes seek to annihilate each other, named Obsidians, Alabasters and Pariahs respectively. Purity is valued here and if you're not flawless you are cast out...or worse.

There's a contentious succession taking place on your home planet and you need a place to hide out or you could lose your life. Earth is your chosen destination and with your alien technology, you can cloak your ship, generate everything you need to blend in and lie low, with little to worry you.
