Book reviewing was born out of necessity more than anything else. It was either that or losing all her friends because she couldn't stop talking about the books she was reading. Now she gets to do it whenever she wishes and not only does she get to keep her old friends, but she was also fortunate to find her book junkie tribe too.

Many of the books for FreshFiction's reviews are unsolicited. We can't guarantee that a particular book will be reviewed (since we receive many more books than we can review), but review / advance copies are always welcome.

Crime Fiction Lover was set up by two journalists who love reading crime stories - everything from atmospheric noir to thriller mysteries and police procedurals. The rise of Kindle, eBooks and iBooks interests us a great deal. We hope to discover and share some of the best reads on these new formats, but by no means will we overlook traditional print. There's nothing like the feel and smell of a freshly printed book.

I read a variety of genres but you will normally find me reading UK based police procedurals and psychological thrillers, well researched historical fiction, and I’m partial to a bit of chick lit (or Choc Lit as I prefer to call it) of the more intelligent and humorous kind. I also enjoy quirky and interesting novels and what would be described as women’s fiction/romance but not of the Mill’s and Boon variety (nothing wrong with M&B just not my thing).

Hello! My nom de plume is Raven which is either (a) glamorous and mysterious or (b) a harbinger of doom depending on your viewpoint! In reality I am but a humble bookseller (16 years and counting) and this is a selection of reviews and crime news from one criminally-minded reader to others.
