Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine.
BLURB: In the beginning, the world will end. This is the story of what happens next.
When Cal meets a soldier of the French Revolution, he knows his lover is destined to die. But what is the point of being a time traveller if you can’t make a few small tweaks to the course of history? A little paradox here, an alteration there – nothing Cal can’t fix, to save the man he loves.
When Fadimatu walks into a museum in 2018, she stumbles upon her own mummified corpse, setting her on the path to a betrayal that has already killed her, and a murder that has not yet come to pass.
And when a sudden rupture in the fabric of history rips through the lives these travellers have built, breaking both past and future, they must reckon with death foretold, love forsaken, and a secret that will shatter time itself. Fall through history on a thrilling journey of shattered time, broken futures and a love that can never be erased.
I’m a sucker for suspenseful, well-told tales of court politics, preferably with a splash of magic. So when I saw this one, I immediately requested it.
BLURB: In Alvion, magicians have always ruled beside kings. Blessed at birth by one of the seven planets, their abilities are miraculous and extremely rare. Magicians born under Jupiter influence luck. Saturnborn can speak to the dead. Venusborn read the desires of the living.
At the moment of Bianca Mortlake’s birth, the stars and planets aligned just so, making her the first Moonborn magician in over a thousand years. A sorcery so rare that even the history books cannot say what she is capable of.
After a childhood training under the realm’s most powerful magician—and alongside a most insufferable Venusborn named Roland—Bianca lives a quiet life far from court. Until a chilling missive arrives in the night, summoning her back.
A mad and deadly court awaits. Two queens have met the executioner’s blade, and one wrong move could see any of them next beneath its steel. As power is pulled between ruthless royals and courtiers like the tides by the moon, Bianca must rely on the last person she would ever want to—the infuriatingly alluring Roland. Because something is terribly wrong in Alvion. And only this moon-blessed magician and her oldest rival can save the court—and each other—from the dark fate they see written in the stars.
REVIEW: This is a slow burn tale, with Bianca returning to the court after terrible changes have been wrought, leaving it a far more dangerous place for her. Courtiers stare, whispering and those in power are not overly pleased to see her. She is quiet, secretive and clever – all characteristics she needs to employ to stay safe.
Elderly King Richard has just married a new wife, having executed two previous wives and his mistress along with his court magician. And the magician who is now by his side and the power behind the throne is a former fellow apprentice and playmate, the obnoxiously beautiful and confident Roland, whose powers fall under the auspices of Venus.
Bianca’s feelings around him are tangled, to put it mildly. But we are not initially aware of exactly what is going on, as Banta steadily reveals the emotional backstory, in addition to giving us a ringside seat into Bianca’s efforts to discover exactly what happened to the Crown Prince. If done well, this type of storytelling is a favourite with me. And it’s done well here. I loved the tension and palpable sense of danger that drew me into the world as Bianca negotiates the social shark tank, while doing her best to avoid Roland. I quickly bonded with her and was firmly on her side throughout.
Bianca changes quite a lot throughout this book, becoming more assertive and less prone to fade into the background. Roland’s nickname for her – Mouse – certainly is no longer a good fit by the final third of the book. There is shape-shifting, magical duels, curses and dangerous grimoires running along the good old-fashioned court politics of betrayal and double-dealing, all overseen by a cruel king desperate for a living heir.
I blew through this one, as the pages turned themselves, keen to discover what happens next. I will mention that it does end on something of a cliff-hanger, despite not being advertised as the first in a series. Though I obtained an arc of The Court of Venus from the publisher via Netgalley, the opinions I have expressed are unbiased and my own. 9/10
This is part of the weekly, or fortnightly meme over at the Caffeinated Reviewer, where book bloggers can share the books they’ve read and share what they have got up to during the last week.
The cupboards have now been fitted in the garden room and Himself is thrilled. He has spent hours in there, organising scenarios and filling the cupboards with wargaming armies and scenery. The weather continues unseasonably warm and dry, which I’m enjoying far more than the summer, because at least the heat is a sensible temperature and any sunny, warm weather now shortens the approaching winter. Oscar has been ill with a feverish cold all week – which isn’t a surprise as he has just started at college and is mixing with people on the train and in classrooms, however he is now feeling better. I’ve been feeling a bit green about the gills, but that’s down to my seasonal flu injection. Ethan has got a part-time job to tide him over while he continues looking for animation jobs, which starts tomorrow. I’m so proud of his can-do attitude. He’s also just completed a commission for a musician friend who is releasing an album in the coming fortnight.
Last Sunday, we had Eliza for the day and visited the Wetland and Wildlife Trust in Arundel with the boys. And in the evening, Himself and I went to a concert held in Arundel Cathedral featuring The Lark Ascending and Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. With the amazing acoustics in the cathedral, the music sounded stunning and the cathedral looked fabulous.
The pics this week show the cupboards in the garden room; one of the scenarios Himself arranged on the wargaming table; our boat ride through the reedbeds at the WWT; Eliza looking across the reedbeds at the Wetland and Wildlife Trust; the three siblings together where she was telling them all about the boat ride; and Arundel Cathedral before the concert started.
Since my last Sunday Post, I’ve read, or listened to:- The Green Man’s Debt – Book 9 of The Green Man series by Juliet E. McKenna Dan Mackmain’s mum is a dryad, so he knows asking someone from the supernatural world for a favour means there’ll be a price to pay, sooner or later. He’s been waiting for the Hunter, the antler-crowned guardian of predators and prey, to call in his debt.
He wasn’t expecting this to happen when he and his girlfriend Fin were planning to visit her sister Iris and her new husband Conn. Dan has prepared for this unknown challenge, reading up on Irish folklore. So far, he’s learned how different those who live in that unseen realm will be from anyone he’s encountered before – and that crossing them could be very dangerous. Well written as ever, but perhaps without the narrative pace and tension I’ve come to expect from this superb series. But that still means it’s an enjoyable read. 8/10
AUDIOBOOK – Green City Wars by Adrian Tchaikovsky In the solar cities of the future, the humans relax in the sun and the animals work in the shadows. Genetically engineered Little Helpers, serving humanity—unseen, unheard./
Meet Skotch. Racoon, P.I.—Yours for a few buttons as long as the job isn’t too illegal, whatever that means.
A mouse has gone missing. Normally this wouldn’t raise any hackles, nor any alarms, but this mouse has something that everyone seems to want, though nobody appears particularly eager to say what that something is.
The fee is good—perhaps too good. Certainly not something Skotch can easily turn down. If only Skotch can work out where the mouse is hiding, what he’s hiding, and why his secrets are upsetting a lot of animals caught up in the Green City wars. Talking animals, who perform all sorts of tasks so humans don’t have to. And nope – this isn’t remotely like Peter Rabbit. I enjoyed it and was rooting for Skotch all the way, but would have preferred there to be not quite so much telling, which slowed the pace somewhat. 8/10
AUDIOBOOK – The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains by Reena McCarty
When Poppy Hill was a child, she was stolen from her family’s Montana homestead and taken ‘Otherside’ to the land of the Fae, where she spent more than a century as a cook in the Wild King’s castle. Now back in the human world, she works for a company that brokers faerie bargains, checking for loopholes in their contracts.
But when a bargain that Poppy is negotiating goes disastrously wrong, she must return to the world she grew up in to try to rectify her mistake, facing danger, intrigue and a pesky ex-boyfriend along the way. This is a solid delight. Poppy is a tough heroine, who has been damaged far more than she realises. And the Otherside is a difficult, dangerous place for humans. I dreamt of this one – and was miserable when it finished. Though I’m delighted that a second book in the series is coming out next year. 10/10
AUDIOBOOK – The Gameshouse #1-3 by Claire North Everyone has heard of the Gameshouse. But few know all its secrets…
It is the place where fortunes can be made and lost through chess, backgammon – every game under the sun.
But those whom fortune favors may be invited to compete in the higher league… a league where the games played are of politics and empires, of economics and kings. It is a league where Capture the Castle involves real castles, where hide and seek takes place on the scale of a continent. Among those worthy of competing in the higher league, three unusually talented contestants play for the highest stakes of all… This novel was originally published as three digital-only novellas: The Serpent, The Thief, and The Master. The concept of major disasters happening because shadowy figures are using humans as playing pieces in a series of complex games isn’t original – but North takes the idea and turns it into an immersive, memorable story. 9/10

The Scarlet Ball by Nghi Vo Pick a face, pick a fate.
Judith Ban, former convent girl, courtesan, and failed thief, is on the lookout for her next identity. The daughter of a Vietnamese adventuress and a French naval officer, she’s no stranger to risk, but she’s unprepared for the secrets of New York’s legendary Four Hundred, or for the women who build their power at the city’s heart through blood-soaked, gold-etched rituals of demonic marriage.
In exchange for enough wealth to outrun her past, Judith strikes a deal with the matriarch of the powerful Howard family: she will stand in for the missing Howard granddaughter, who was poised to make her debut when she disappeared. With Miss Iphigenia Marshall’s face stitched over her own, Judith is white, rich, and about to risk body and soul in the deadly games that determine which girls will find a match—and which will be devoured. If she can keep her wits and her life, her reward will be a husband with undreamt-of power who will be hers to command… so long as she can keep his infinite hungers fed. But to survive the season, Judith will have to seduce a storm in the shape of a man, before the night to which everything has been leading—the Scarlet Ball where the demons choose their brides. A debutante’s season in New York during a slightly Gilded Age where girls attend a series of social events with the goal of getting a husband. But what if your suitor is capable of killing you if you make a wrong move? Review to follow.

This sounds like a gripping page-turner, full of tension and adventure. So I decided to give it a whirl. It’s next on my TBR pile so I’ve not got long to wait before I tuck into it. Anyone else reading this one?
This is a review written waay back in late 2020 that never got published due to Covid and my ongoing health issues with Long Covid. So it’s finally seeing the light of day!
This spinoff of the very successful Percy Jackson series – see my review ofThe Last Olympian – has been waiting patiently on my Kindle for me to get a chance to listen to it. I’d originally bought the book for my grandson, who loved hearing about a dyslexic hero with an absent father. He not only identified with Percy, he also loved listening to the stories, which have sparked a strong interest in the period and he is studying Classical History at GCSE level, thanks to Rick Riordan’s books.
BLURB: JASON HAS A PROBLEM. He doesn’t remember anything before waking up in a bus full of kids on a field trip. Apparently he has a girlfriend named Piper, and his best friend is a guy named Leo. They’re all students at the Wilderness School, a boarding school for “bad kids,” as Leo puts it. What did Jason do to end up here? And where is here, exactly? Jason doesn’t know anything—except that everything seems very wrong.
PIPER HAS A SECRET. Her father has been missing for three days, ever since she had that terrifying nightmare about his being in trouble. Piper doesn’t understand her dream, or why her boyfriend suddenly doesn’t recognize her. When a freak storm hits during the school trip, unleashing strange creatures and whisking her, Jason, and Leo away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood, she has a feeling she’s going to find out, whether she wants to or not.
LEO HAS A WAY WITH TOOLS. When he sees his cabin at Camp Half-Blood, filled with power tools and machine parts, he feels right at home. But there’s weird stuff, too—like the curse everyone keeps talking about, and some camper who’s gone missing. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist that each of them—including Leo—is related to a god. Does this have anything to do with Jason’s amnesia, or the fact that Leo keeps seeing ghosts?
REVIEW: The secret of a successful spinoff series, is that the world and the dynamic that made the original series such a hit needs to be maintained. While characters and the premise needs to be sufficiently mixed up to give readers something new and intriguing, while keeping some aspects reassuringly familiar. It’s a tricky dynamic to negotiate, which probably accounts for the relative rarity of truly successful follow-up series. However, I think this one really nails it.
Once more, Riordan’s clever contemporary twist on the Greek myths is both gripping and funny. I enjoyed the three young protagonists, who all find themselves in sudden acute danger. And as far as at least one of them is concerned, he doesn’t even know who he is… I also like the ongoing dynamic that the gods aren’t remotely nice or admirable, which is also an accurate reflection of both the Greek and Roman pantheon. But Riordan’s stories wouldn’t have half the impact they do, if he didn’t possess a superpower of writing truly superb battle scenes.
Once again, I became completely caught up in this adventure and once I got to the end, I was delighted to know I have the next book in the series already loaded and waiting. Highly recommended for fans of Greek myth retellings – and while these books are advertised as being for children, don’t let that stop you tucking in. This sixty-something granny thoroughly enjoyed it. 8/10
When a wing companion ends up dying miserably in dire circumstances, try to hold onto the memories of when they were in their prime – fine, bright-scaled and bold. And whatever you do, when speaking of them after they’re gone, don’t use the epithet ‘Poor’ before their name.
Castellan the Black, mighty dragon warrior, features in my Picky Eaters series. All proceeds for the duration of the publishing life of Picky Eaters, first book in the series, are donated to mental health charities. The second book, Flame & Blame, and the third book, Trouble With Dwarves, are now available.
It was the spiffy art deco cover that caught my attention, as well as the title. And the fact it was featured by one of my book blogging friends – I’m so sorry, I have the memory of a goldfish so I cannot recall who. But once I read the premise I immediately nicked across to Netgalley to see if I could grab a copy.
BLURB: Agatha Christie’s latest book, The Seven Dials, has set the literary world alight. With a new marriage to Max Mallowan and a honeymoon cruise down the Nile ahead, she’s looking forward to the trip of a lifetime. But the publication has also drawn the attention of the Secret Service, who have spotted strange coincidences within its pages.
When Eliza Baker, assistant to the secretary of the Detection Club, is asked to accompany Agatha Christie and her husband, she reluctantly agrees, determined to help clear her friend’s name. Yet her attention soon shifts to fellow passengers, the Hardwicke family, who are celebrating a daughter’s birthday aboard. And when a guest is found dead in his cabin, the idyllic voyage takes a deadly turn.
As the steamer drifts upriver, Eliza and Theo must sift through polite smiles and private grievances to find the truth. Can Eliza and Theo uncover the truth before the Nile claims its next victim? REVIEW: This turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable read. Though it took me a while to bond with the main protagonists, and I was slightly scrambling to work out what was going on – which was when I clocked that this is actually the fifth book in a series. No wonder I was slightly floundering. However, once the story got going, I quickly realised who was doing what to whom.
Oliver is good at depicting settings, giving us a full sensory experience. I could smell and taste the experience of being on the River Nile, as well as clearly visualise it. This was nicely complemented by the experience of a stately home in winter during a funeral, which was also fully described without breaking the narrative flow – not the easy task Oliver makes it look.
As for the murder mystery, it was as cosily familiar as a cup of hot chocolate. The victim was rich, ruthless, and very controlling. And had managed to stack up an impressive list of enemies, relations, and acquaintances with strong reasons to thoroughly resent and maybe want to murder him.
Theo and Eliza are kept busy on board the boat, not only trying to track down the variety of clues and red herrings, but also initially avoiding Agatha Christie, who is now honeymooning on the boat with her new husband, Max. Initially, they’d been instructed to keep out of her way, as she is also being suspected by the British Secret Service of being a spy, and Eliza has been tasked, unwillingly, to keep her under surveillance.
Another major plot line running alongside the murder mystery is the ongoing relationship between Eliza and Theo. I have to say, by the end, this was the one I cared most about. The reasons why they’d hit a brick wall within their relationship also made sense.
Any niggles? While I appreciate that anyone daft enough to start a series at book 5 is going to flounder just a tad at the beginning, I do feel there needs to be a strong bonding moment for the protagonists, in order to reintroduce them to fans of the series and allow newbies like me to learn about them and properly care before the story really gets going. It did take a couple of chapters before I was fully invested in the story.
Overall, however, this is a joy and thoroughly recommended for fans of historical murder mysteries, particularly those who are familiar with Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile and The Seven Dials. While I obtained an arc of The Case of the Christie Honeymoon Murder from the publisher via Netgalley, the opinions I have expressed are unbiased and my own. 8/10

The Case of the Christie Honeymoon Murder – Book 5 of The Detection Club series by Kelly Oliver
Release date for the ebook – 26th September, 2026
BLURB: Agatha Christie’s latest book, The Seven Dials, has set the literary world alight. With a new marriage to Max Mallowan and a honeymoon cruise down the Nile ahead, she’s looking forward to the trip of a lifetime. But the publication has also drawn the attention of the Secret Service, who have spotted strange coincidences within its pages.

And when a guest is found dead in his cabin, the idyllic voyage takes a deadly turn.
As the steamer drifts upriver, Eliza and Theo must sift through polite smiles and private grievances to find the truth. Can Eliza and Theo uncover the truth before the Nile claims its next victim?
I love the sound of this one! It’s giving me Death on the Nile vibes, which is one of my all-time Christie favourite reads.
Of course it was the quirky title that caught my attention. I was looking for something with plenty of action and a generous splash of humour in my fantasy adventure tale – although funny is highly objective and isn’t easy to write well. Would this deliver?
BLURB: As the laboratory assistant to the brilliant but demanding Doctor, Igor spends his nights robbing graves, stitching together body parts, and ensuring that his master doesn’t electrocute himself (too badly). It’s thankless work, but Igor knows it’ll all be worth it once they finally succeed in the Doctor’s all-encompassing quest to create new life from dead flesh.
When a mob of peasants wielding torches and pitchforks drives them out of town (again), Igor and the Doctor relocate to the isolated Ravenwald Manor to resume their experiments. But Igor and the Doctor are not the only ones seeking refuge within the walls of Ravenwald. The manor is already home to a vampiric Count and his highly dissatisfied bride, Cornelia—and an enigmatic witch and her feline familiar, Grimalkin, intend to use it as the site of a magical ritual.
At Igor’s suggestion, the three pairs come to an uneasy agreement to cohabitate in Ravenwald, lest they attract the suspicion of the nearby village. In the wake of this truce, Igor, Cornelia, and Grimalkin soon begin to realize that they might have more common with one another than their respective masters. When the trio discovers that they’ve been unwitting participants in a horrible plan to destroy the world as they know it, they must work together to stop their masters from bringing on armageddon… and stop the increasingly suspicious villagers from reaching for their pitchforks and torches.
REVIEW: I’ll be honest – my expectations weren’t particularly high at the start of this one. I thoroughly enjoy humorous fantasy, but it’s a combination that is very tricky to successfully achieve. I wish I had a pound for every hilarious fantasy/sci fi adventure I’ve abandoned with disgust a few pages in.
However, it didn’t take long for dear Igor to completely win my heart. Moore allowed the humour to come through the situation, rather than try to tell jokes which I thoroughly appreciated. It was the interaction between Igor and the Doctor that often provided the sniggers. Moore nicely plays with our expectations of the Frankenstein meme, before adding in the generic cold-hearted vampire Count and crazed witch. All, of course, need sidekicks to do their fetching and carrying. I loved the backstories of each of these henchpeople – using the term ‘people’ very loosely. For Grim, the cat familiar of the wicked witch isn’t actually a cat, or anything remotely human.
The story hangs together well and I enjoyed the growing tension as the stakes continue to rise and the underlings become increasingly unhappy with the behaviour of their high-handed superiors. But I hadn’t expected to become so emotionally invested. This is a tale that wears its heart on its sleeve. While it’s about Igor, Grim and Cornelia trying to deal with difficult lives, where they are routinely bullied and controlled – it’s also about finding self respect and confidence. It’s about relationships in difficult situations. It’s about not judging people by their appearances, but instead seeing who they really are and what they do when the body fluids hit the fan.
I would say that while this isn’t a particularly creepy or scary tale – there is a fair amount of gore and body parts. While it didn’t bother me, if you do find detailed descriptions of stitching bodies together make you queasy, or at all triggering – then give this one a miss.
All in all, this is an excellent tale of underdogs that could have easily devolved into a self-pitying whine, or a lot of gross punning jokes. Marshall demonstrates his experience and class as a writer by deftly avoiding all those traps and temptations and instead provides an amusing, engrossing tale that also has a strong message at a time when physical appearance seems to be so very important. Very highly recommended for fans of humorous fantasy with a bit of gore. While I obtained an arc of The Henchperson’s Guide to Unionizing from the publisher via Netgalley, the opinions I have expressed are unbiased and my own. 9/10
