Rachel Reviews: The Light in the Invading Darkness by Daniel Big Plume
You have to admire Daniel Big Plume's vision in this book. I felt like it could have been more than one really, such was the content of it and the scope of the action. That said, this is cohesively written with a clear purpose and was really enjoyable with tension and tragedy throughout and the narrative moves at the right pace towards a satisfactory conclusion.

Rachel Reviews: Lost Letters by Tom Hapgood. Top Story - September 2025.
Tom Hapgood's book is a lot of things. It has history, both twentieth century and prior; it has youth and the coming-of-age; it has, through its characters' situations, a discussion of the health concerns that can encroach as life continues inexorably towards death; and it has the secrets that lurk in the family vault, just waiting to be uncovered and brought to the surface.

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.
