Today, I’m kicking off the blog tour for Jaclyn Moriarty’s new release, A Tangle of Gold!! I have reviews for the first two books in this series, A Corner of White and The Cracks in the Kingdom. Jaclyn was kind enough to answer some of my questions, but let’s start off with my review of […]
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 […]
This review does not contain any series spoilers. Reading this series is always a delightfully horrific and philosophical experience. Being centered around a scientific experiment gone wrong, causing tapeworms that were meant to be the end of human disease and suffering to overtake their hosts, it gets pretty squeamish during some parts.

In this book, our protagonist, Celie, is an orphan living on the streets of Paris with […]
This Raging Light had the potential to be a great book. It had a very interesting premise that would have allowed for a wonderful coming-of-age story. Instead, what I read was very lacklustre and underwhelming, and I had some very big problems with some aspects of the book. I don’t really have many positive things […]
This book made my heart melt. It reminded me of why I love the contemporary genre so much, because books like Emmy & Oliver never fail to give me all the feels. I’ve missed reading books that just have a great romance that will warm your heart and this book definitely gave me all the […]
