The Tiger at Midnight immediately caught my attention with its gorgeous cover. Before I knew it, the writing sucked me in, and after I got to meet the characters, I was thoroughly ensnared in its pages. This Indian-inspired fantasy is full of deceit, secrets, and a game of chase between two morally gray characters. It’s […]
It’s been too long since Robyn Schneider has released a book and I am so glad to have a new one in my hands! I absolutely loved The Beginning of Everything (Severed Heads, Broken Hearts) and Extraordinary Means so I am insanely happy that she has a new release. Invisible Ghosts follows Rose, a high schooler and drama geek, who […]
I don’t think I’ve ever come across a science-fiction novel with a concept similar to Honor Among Thieves. (I know a historical steampunk, Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld, that comes to mind, but with the barest of similarities.) So what makes this book stand out from the rest? I would have to say… its intriguing concept of aliens. […]
While there were parts of Wicked Like a Wildfire that I enjoyed, there are also many parts that just plain didn’t work with me. I can definitely appreciate the pretty writing, magical story, and quaint setting that the book is set in, but at the same time I can’t deny that I found myself bored […]
Getting attacked by highwaymen, held as hostage by pirates, and set on an alchemical journey with his best friend and snarky sister – what else would Monty want for his Grand Tour? The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue is a delicious blend of wit and research, showcasing how aspects such as a biracial romance, […]
Pandemonium, that’s what. Mimosa has grown up surrounded by plants and aromas – basic components of aromateurs, who use their heightened sense of smell to direct the way of people falling in love. However, with that power comes rules that Mim will see inevitably broken throughout the course of this book. From the very beginning, […]
I didn’t finish this book, but not because it was bad! It wasn’t particularly annoying, frustrating, or frightening. Hear me out! One of the biggest reasons is my mood, and I guess my propensity against these kind of books. When I first read the blurb, I thought it would be a fun thrill or mystery, […]
From the first page of this book, we’re thrown into action, and Sonya is at the heart of it. I think what stands out throughout the book were the characters: their motives for what they do, the consequences they go through, and the growth that completes it all. While I don’t mind character development, I […]
I am a massive fan of Sherlock the TV show. It’s probably my favourite TV show ever. I’m also a big fan of the original Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (even though I’ve only read a couple of the short stories and two of the novels). Therefore, A Study in Charlotte seemed like […]
