🐍🥀 Deathbringer by Sonia Tagliareni

Deathbringer by Sonia Tagliareni is a dark academia fantasy romance novel about a death mage, Viola, who investigates her sister’s murder at the Gorhail Institute of Magic, where she forms an uneasy alliance with Sylas, a rival poison mage, as they uncover a conspiracy to hunt mages for their relics. The book features dual POVs, an enemies-to-lovers trope, and a murder mystery set in a magical school, blending necromancy, forbidden romance, and suspense.

Thank you for the gifted proof copy!

🏰 Coastal fortifications can still be found along the Banffshire coastline, including the rugged ruinsof this castle, perched on a tiny peninsula with a 50-foot drop to the sea below. A castle was first recorded here in 1246. The name gives a clue to the strong Norse influence in the area—white and cliff—so called because there is quartz in the rock.
‼️This castle ruin is located off narrow coastal paths and cliff edges, which can be dangerous.

🥪 Loudons - my new favourite place for brunch in Edinburgh!

With 2 locations in the city, Loudons is a great place to stop for brunch, whether you want a traditional one or a boozy one, as in their menu they also serve cocktails!

Something I wouldn’t miss is their selection of cakes which changes daily - and they are incredible!

Thank you so much for having us!

📖 Sister Wake by Dave Rudden

Happy publication day!

Blurb:

A proud culture oppressed for centuries. An island over-run by bestial gods. And a girl with the power to raise the fallen...

For three hundred years the wild island of Croí has been subject to the Empire of the Answering. Clans have been subjugated, their language outlawed, their religion reduced to the whisper of fugitive priests.

Until Croí’s prayers are answered. The Gods return. Feral and majestic, they stride the land as colossi, throwing the Empire into chaos.

The dispossessed and the vengeful struggle for power. A ruthless priestess rallies the faithful, offering a simple choice - believe, or die - even as the empire’s Queen makes the first moves in a long and dangerous game.

But for all their machinations, one woman will decide the fate of them all... Sister Wake, unwilling saint of the Goddess of Death.

Thank you for gifting me this stunning proof copy!

🍜 Nishiki Edinburgh

Are you a big fan of ramen? Then you cannot miss a visit to Nishiki Edinburgh if you’re in the city.

Located in Morrison Street is a cosy, laid-back space serving proper Japanese comfort food made in the traditional way.

It offers an all-day dining menu built around sharing plates and authentic Japanese flavours. The kitchen is led by Chef-owner Max Wang.

We tried their crispy chicken gyozas, salmon and tuna sashimi, takoyaki and of course: their ramen, which was absolutely incredible, full of flavour and very filling, we loved it!

All I can say now is that we will be definitely coming back. The space is tastefully decorated, and the food was incredible - even my 10 year old son was impressed.

Thank you so much for having us, we will certainly be back soon!

🥃 The Scotch Whisky Experience on the Royal Mile is the best attraction in Edinburgh if you want to get to know Scotch whisky.

They offer a variety of tours, although I would recommend their Gold Tour.

With your knowledgeable guide, you will learn about the origins, the art of whisky making and maturation in a fully immersive whisky experience, before learning about the whisky regions in Scotland - where you will travel south, north and west of the country and learn about all Scotland has to offer and how the landscape has such an impact in the final product.

You will meet some interesting characters along the way and of course, you will be treated to a dram… or 5!

The first one, you choose depending on your favourite region, and you will have it inside the largest whisky collection - where you will be surrounded by almost 4000 bottles of whisky!

At the end of the tour, you will be able to choose your other 4 drams, and you get to keep your glass as a souvenir.

I visited during the Distillers’ Fair back in December, where we got to talk to the experts from the distilleries themselves!

I can say that as an Edinburgh local, I have visited The Scotch Whisky Experience several times, I always recommend it and will definitely be back!

Slainte!

🇹🇷 Turkish Airlines first European Lounge

Edinburgh airport - where Scotland meets the world! And now it is where you will find the first-ever European lounge from Turkish Airlines.

I had the honour of being invited to the launch, and the ribbon cutting ceremony, where we had the pleasure to see Edinburgh’s Lord Provost.

The lounge is the perfect place to relax before your flight: you can grab some food, tea and coffee, cold drinks… and just imagine where all those planes will be flying to!
