Fiction Book Reviews

Looking for fiction book reviews?

We’re sharing our thoughts on not only the latest book releases but backlists too.

We are not affiliated with any particular publishing house or author.  We choose the books we read because they call to us in some way.

I’m a ‘mood reader’ and absolutely love it.  My joy in reading has increased tenfold!

I have two guest reviewers, Laura and Elena.  Between us we enjoy different genres.

Fiction Book Review Genres

You’ll find us sharing our thoughts on these different genres:

  • contemporary fiction
  • crime fiction
  • fantasy
  • historical fiction
  • literary fiction
  • memoir
  • psychological thriller
  • romantic fiction
  • saga
  • science fiction
  • thriller

Our fiction book reviews are all set out the same way.  There is an introductory paragraph (which might only be a couple of sentences) followed by the book cover, publisher and blurb.

Where the book is available to purchase follows next.

Once the basics are shared, you’ll read our reviews.  Some of the reviews are short and succinct, some a little longer.

All three of us having our own ways as to what is actually in the fiction book review, however, all are our personal (and therefore subjective) thoughts.

The review is followed by the author’s biography, which includes links to website and social media platforms.

If you’re an author, publisher or blog tour organiser looking for fiction book reviews then please get in touch.  Find out more on my review policy.

We hope you’ll enjoy reading our fiction book reviews.  We enjoy chatting about books so please get in touch.
