The Evil Cat Book Tag
This tag was created by Peat Long and Para over at To Other Worlds (whose blog I only just discovered thanks to this tag, and have been thoroughly enjoying looking through it), and even though I don't have a cat myself I do love a book tag, and it'll keep me humble in my desire to have a cat… Continue reading The Evil Cat Book Tag

Review: A Numbers Game by RJ Dark
Meet Malachite Jones – the foremost (and only) psychic medium on the gritty Blades Edge estate. All he wants are two things: a name that isn’t ‘Malachite’, and a quiet life. And maybe some real psychic powers, but he’s making a living without them. Janine Stanbeck wants to find her dead husband Larry’s winning ticket and escape Blades Edge with her son. And she thinks Mal can help her. But Larry’s dad is the crime lord of the estate, and he wants that ticket for himself, and worse for Mal, he's not the only criminal with his eyes on it. Add in two coppers desperate to nick Mal's best, only, and admittedly quite dangerous, friend, Jackie Singh Kattar, and Blades Edge is getting pretty crowded. Malachite Jones might not really be able to talk to the dead, but if he and his friend Jackie Singh Kattar can’t find that money and a solution that pleases everyone they’re likely to be in need of a psychic medium themselves.
