Hollow Kingdom

Hollow Kingdom


by Kira Jane Buxton


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


I don’t Usually stray from reading romance, but when I do I feel like I go pretty far! Kira Jane Buxton’s vision of a post apocalypse future really shook me.


In this anti future, the human race is stuck down by a cancer-line disease that’s turning them into blood hungry monsters in need of a tech fix! Left to their own devises, nature, the animals and plants gang together to survive in this new world without people.


This adventure is told from the point of view of ST, short for Shirt Turd, a plucky, wise cracking domestic crow that identifies more as a person than crow. He is assisting by his speechless companion Dennis the family bloodhound as they go about their mission trying to rescue the other domestics that have been loved indoors after their owners perished.


This story made me laugh (ST’s sarcasm is awesome), think and cry. I haven’t read a book that made me appreciate the human condition so much. If you’re interested in a fun and thought provoking look at humanity, these animals deliver!


I’m excited for the follow up, Feral Creatures being released later this month!



Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton was originally released in August, 2019.



Thanks so much to Grand Central Publishing for gifting me with my review copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...

Fans of the Countess of Harleigh Mystery series will be happy to hear that before any murder took place Lady Harleigh and Mr Hazelton were married with all their friends and family in attendance! But there was definitely a murder mystery discovered before the end of the wedding breakfast! This was such a treat!
