Review: Once Upon a Broken Heart

I LOVED the Caraval series so I was very excited to start this series set in the same world. You can read this without reading the Caraval series but I think you would get a better understanding of one of our main characters The Prince of Hearts AKA Jacks. Evangeline […]

Review: Aurora’s End

This is another audiobook that I started and stopped a few times this year. Not because it was bad but just because I really struggled with audiobooks this year. It’s only the last few months I have got my rhythm back and have been listening non-stop for the last few […]

Review: Rule of Wolves

Where do I start with this review? I LOVED the Shadow and Bone trilogy, the Six of Crows duology and the first Nikolai book but I have mixed feelings about this book. I stopped and restarted this book quite a few times this year so much so that it took […]

Blog Tour Review: Truly Madly Amy

I’ve previously read two of Kerry’s books but they were both of the crime/thriller variety so I was excited to try a new genre by an author I already like. This book gives you all those teenage feels. It’s full of nostalgia for school holidays, hormones that you don’t know […]

Review: Cemetery Boys

I read this book during Pride month as a book club read with some work colleagues. This book was an interesting mix of magic and mystery. The big themes in this book are being different and not being accepted for them. Our main character, Yadriel is a gay trans teenager. […]

Review: The ​Crown of Gilded Bones

I love the first two books in this series but this one was a bit slow for me. It took me months to listen to it. This book picked up right where the first left off. Poppy has grown so much from the first books but quite frankly not much […]

Review: In the Ravenous Dark

Thank you to Hodder and Stoughton for my copy of this book via Netgalley. I requested this book because I saw it was going to be a monthly book for Illumicrate and I loved the cover. The blurb really intrigued me too, I love a good YA fantasy! There are […]

Review: Blood Heir

I requested this book on Netgalley but sadly never got round to reading it. I also have the Illumicrate edition and I was trying to decide if I should buy the sequel special edition too (I did in the end). Amélie was doing a re-read before book 2 came out […]

Review: A Vow So Bold and Deadly

I’m going to start by saying this review will most likely contain spoilers for the first 2 books. If you haven’t read them I would suggest doing so and then coming back. I LOVED the first two books in this series. Book one blew me away and gave me such […]

Review: The Hate U Give

I read this book as part of my works book club. I had had this on my TBR pile for a little while so I was excited to jump in. This is one of those books that no review would do justice. It’s such a powerful and important story. It’s […]
