Whenever someone's about to die, Betha McSweeny transforms into an old hag with silver hair and unleashes an ear-piercing cry. What happens when someone discovers her true identity as a banshee?


Review

When an attractive young woman moves into the house across the street, Apollo enlists the help of his best friend Gab to hatch a plan to ensure that their paths will cross.

What Apollo and Gab don’t know is that Betha is a Banshee, a mythical creature of legend that can foretell imminent death.

What follows is a fast paced adventure as the boys discover Betha’s true nature and she has to fight her instincts to preserve the new relationship.

An interesting supernatural tale, with nicely drawn characters, that hooks you into the plot as we learn the truth about the Banshee.

I love the relationship between Apollo and his mother

Ideal for anyone who likes the supernatural or non-standard romance stories

Favourite Books of 2023

With 2024 now nearly a week old, I thought I'd compile a list of my top ten books of 2023. Unfortunately I've not been able to whittle it down to just ten so I tried to make it my favourite ten authors. Once again I failed as there are so many great books I didn't want to leave out. Even so I've had to be harsh and leave out many that would've made last years list (what do you mean I didn't publish a list last year? Yeah, I know, I was too busy reading and writing reviews and I completely forgot) My list is composed of 15 authors and contains 42 books from a variety of genres (it could easily have been 60 books from the 400 I read last year (ok, some of those were quite short and I've not got much else to do) Lets get on with it I hear you yell, so without further ado and in no particular order, these were my favourite reads of 2023 Scratch that. I'm going to list them in alphabetical order by author surname so no further favouritism can be gleaned from

He believes in saving souls, but Charles Balcombe is beyond saving. His control over his killer instinct appears to be weakening. BlackJack has killed again and more questions are being asked of Detective Inspector Munro. He is under increasing pressure to solve the murders, especially when he picks up more cases from Kowloon rather than solving his own. As Balcombe battles with his demon, he investigates the death of a young woman. Was it an accident or did she kill herself? At first Balcombe thinks it's straightforward but as he digs, other cases reveal an evil in Hong Kong. One that could consume them all. Set in 1954, this is book 2 of the series. It can be read as a stand-alone but the author recommends boo
