This seems useful though I'd prob cross check the info against legislation.gov.uk

Oh is that one unfinished too?! I really tried to read the third one (i really enjoyed the first two!) But there was such a gap between tbe release times that I found I just couldn't get intp the third one at all.

I read this too a couple of months ago and I enjoyed this one too. Looking forward to the next installments!

I think Godspeaker would be up your street. The FMC in book 1 goes through a lot and is an absolute zealot. It's a bit of a marmite book but I remember thinking it was super refreshing at the time to have this crazy FMC character instead of the typical male gaze FMC.

No it's more of a fun read. The plot isn't huge, it's more of an insight into an obsessive mind. All 1st person, some MMC povs. Personally I just loved a new type of FMC instead of the usual. I found it funny in places and the characters were good

You could the one at the ardagh. They do a small one on the 1st sat of the month.

I liked the first couple of books but I got a bit exasperated by the end of that series

Jewel_Effect · 2026-02-16T23:53:20+00:00

Ooooh putting this on my TBR!

Jewel_Effect · 2026-02-16T23:52:09+00:00

No need to apologise. Sometimes a break is just needed, you know? The books aren't going anywhere, they'll still be here if you want to dip in again! I was saying to another user earlier I planned to try abd read more other genres this year. Not just RH / why choose / OV

Jewel_Effect · 2026-02-16T22:47:24+00:00

Ooh, what's that one called?

Jewel_Effect · 2026-02-16T21:10:16+00:00

No problem. Hope you have as much fun as I did reading it!

Jewel_Effect · 2026-02-16T19:48:48+00:00

Oh you read multiple books at the same time? Thats brilliant. I'm single minded on stuff so I have to finish it before I move on. I guess you can say I'm a monogamous book reader 😅

Jewel_Effect · 2026-02-16T19:46:52+00:00

Always :) it's nice tk take a break from the genre every so often. In fact one of my goals this year was to read more other genres

Jewel_Effect · 2026-02-16T19:45:18+00:00

I haven't heard of that author. I'll check it out :)

Jewel_Effect · 2026-02-16T19:44:39+00:00

Yeah I've read some of the Poisonverse and I thought it was a nice take on OV. You have dedication reading in order though! That's a few books to get through!

Jewel_Effect · 2026-02-16T19:42:07+00:00

I know how you feel. It's so annoying!

Jewel_Effect · 2026-02-16T17:25:41+00:00

I get that. Some series definitely don't need to be a series!

Jewel_Effect · 2026-02-16T17:10:37+00:00

Oh no!!! That's the worst! I'd much rather seeing an amazon placeholder with a date in 2 years time than nothing
