Mad as a Hatter by Catherine Stovall


Madness is a state of frenzied or chaotic activity, and that is what you will find inside the pages of ‘As Mad as a Hatter’. Walk the path of Lady Death, feel the power of freedom, fall in love, and fear the dark corners of the room with these twelve short stories and six poems from Catherine Stovall. What will you find under the top hat?

 
REVIEW
 
5 stars
 

From the very first tale to the last I was hooked. The short stories were beautifully written and never disappointed, the stories either gracefully sweet or devilishly divine. Catherine Stovall did an amazing job portraying emotions and characters that make this collection a must read. My favourite tale is the first one, Lady Death Comes To Call. I love winter and this story shows just how beautiful the season can be with a twist of whimsy. The author painted a picture that took my breath away in such a simple manner and the added tension and suspense was the extra element that made this my favourite. There are also tales of blood and darkness that will be perfect for readers that prefer some horror in their lives, like The Queen's Art which made me cringe but not stop reading. All in all, Catherine Stovall did an excellent job and I recommend this to anyone who loves to read something about everything.

Unleashed Poems by Jennifer Raygoza


~ I received a free copy of this book for an honest review ~
Amazing! I really loved reading this collection of poems and they are perfect for any reader of any age. Jennifer Raygoza is a great author and one to watch for.
5 out of 5 stars
 

This collection of heart-tearing, eye blinking poems was amazing to read. The raw emotion splashed across those pages was truly felt and many reminded me of experiences throughout my life where I felt the same. Many teenagers go through hard times and these poems are their voices, a way for readers to see that being young isn't just about having fun and laughing. There are also dark days that they keep hidden and I'm sure many will be able to relate to these tales.

The author used beautiful imagery and metaphors that delivered her messages effortlessly and shows how talented she is.

My favourite poems were Scars and Don't Hurt Me. Those poems will always stay with me and are definitely a must-read.
