Rachel Reviews: Eye For An Eye By M.J. Arlidge
This is not a book for the faint of heart as it deals with the controversial subject of what we should do with child offenders. Should we release them back into the community under assumed aliases to protect them from retribution or should we deliver our own form of justice on them, when the legal system seemingly fails the victims in allowing their killers to rebuild their lives?

Little Ghost Laban. Top Story - February 2024.
I like to dig into other cultures and languages, particularly when it comes to horror, folklore, and storytelling. There's so much out there that isn't readily available in English. It's the same with your native language, whatever that might be. The world is connected now in a way it never has been, and newer technology allows me to explore it using translation tools. We take these tools for granted today, but they are recent inventions.

Echoes of Love: Navigating Heartbreak's Maze. Content Warning.
Once upon a time, amidst the warm embrace of a sunny day, there was someone taking steps under the vast expanse of an open sky. The world around them seemed to shimmer with promise, each ray of sunlight a beacon of hope. But in the blink of an eye, as if the very fabric of the universe had shifted, the sky lost its brilliance, cloaking itself in a somber shade of gray. It was as though the heavens themselves were reflecting the inner turmoil of the person walking beneath.

Unraveling the Legacy of William Shakespeare: A Journey into the Life and Works of the Bard. Content Warning.
William Shakespeare, often hailed as the greatest writer in the English language, continues to enchant readers and audiences worldwide centuries after his time. Born in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, in April 1564, his baptismal date is recorded as the 26th of April, and tradition observes his birthday on April 23rd, coinciding with Saint George's Day. His exact birth date remains a mystery, much like many aspects of his life, which have spurred endless speculation among scholars and enthusiasts alike.

Finding Strength
Ava Reid's "A Study on Drowning" is a testament to the transformative power of resilience and self-discovery, offering readers a poignant exploration of the human spirit in the face of adversity. While initially finding the protagonist, Effy, somewhat whiny, I came to realize that her struggles were deeply rooted in the injustices of her time, making her journey all the more compelling.
