There’s nothing I love more than a second chance romance – it may even be my favourite romance trope. And The Road Trip did an amazing job of giving me everything I want in a good second chance romance. The novel is written in alternating perspectives (Addie and Dylan) and also alternating then and now timelines. We […]
The Good Things The final book in The Falconer trilogy, a fantastic upper YA/ New Adult historical fantasy series. Another book hangover for me, thanks Elizabeth May. I think I experienced every possible emotion reading this. Especially during the intense final chapters. I cried more than once. There was some interesting new lore and fae […]
Ever since I first heard about The Love Hypothesis early this year through Nick @ The Infinite Limits of Love, I’ve been waiting with bated breath for it to be released. The book follows Olive, who is a PhD candidate in biology, and Dr Adam Carlsen, an academic in her department, which got me super excited because […]
The Good Things Book two in the Falconer trilogy by Elizabeth May, a YA historical fantasy series filled with vicious faeries. I found a new favourite character in Aithinne! Her sarcasm is just amazing. I laughed so much more than I expected to! There are some brilliant sibling dynamics and great dry humour. I loved […]
What a brilliant and compelling book! Ace of Spades certainly delivers on the Get Out and Gossip Girl comparisons, while delivering shocking twists at the end. This is one of those books that I couldn’t put down, wanting to know what the solution to the mystery was, and when all the answers were shown, I was just left there in […]
TW: Addiction, grief, depression I have a love-hate relationship with Gayle Forman’s books. Just One Day is probably one of my favourite YA books of all time but I really struggled with her last few releases. I was not a fan at all of I Was Here and while I did enjoy I Have Lost My Way, I didn’t find it […]
The Good Things I’m finally rereading this so I can finish the series! It was one of my favourite reads (and my first ever Edelweiss eARC) in 2013 or 2014. Fast-paced, action packed YA historical fantasy set in 1840s Scotland. I couldn’t put it down! Aileana is a badass! SO MUCH STEAMPUNK! Aileana invents some […]
Six Crimson Cranes is an enchanting new YA fantasy based on East Asian folklore and the The Wild Swans tale. It promises a lush, magical story featuring a Princess who becomes exiled, a swoon worthy Prince and even shape-shifting dragons (which was my favourite part of the book). So how did it hold up? 5 Things I […]
What a fun and unique read! This Poison Heart features a blend of plant loving, Greek mythology and a haunting tale to find one’s own mysterious heritage. I thought Briseis was such a fun main character, particularly with her powers of growing and understanding plants (like Poison Ivy). Although this isolates her from other people, she has […]
