A Study in Black Brew by Marie Howalt
Release date: 22nd May 2025 A cross between Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who, this sci-fi murder mystery is the most bizarre book I have ever read (and that might be a compliment). If you’ve read ‘A Study in Scarlet’ then you already know the plot. However, this retelling is set in space! Our protagonist, Kellieth,…
You Wish #1 – Graphic Novel Review
Cool idea with cute art, mesmerizing fantasy world, and nice, diverse character designs. Plus the funny ‘denglish’ words in the genie language!
Tonhon Chonlatee – BL Drama (TV) Review

I want to love you till your dying day – Manga #1 Review

Dra-Q #1 – Manga Review
Werewolves are the bad guys, crying makes their eyes turn red, flying lessons are brutal, and love turns into a bloodlust … interesting.
Tsunami – Graphic Novel Review
I expected a lot, but definitely not this. While I don’t mind dark turns at all, especially such themes in stories that are marketed towards children, this was rather confusing. It had a really great start, however, the ending was disappointing. Not that I need happy endings – given the themes and writing style, I…
Sunder #1 – Graphic Novel Review
An action-packed DnD adventure that actually has a lot going on, while at the same time feels like drinking your morning tea/coffee on the veranda.
Love Languages – Graphic Novel Review
The way they both started to learn the other’s native tongue, through pantomime and hand gestures, the way Ping explained some letters and James visually illustrated it … Beautiful.
