The Good Things Guess who has a late addition to their best reads of 2020! Brilliant and addictive standalone NA historical thriller by an Aussie author. Strong Mindhunter vibes (but with more actual crime solving, less of the character’s outside lives). It’s so hard not to just gush about everything. I figured out a few […]
The Good Things I loved Caddy’s debut, Waer (it’s such a unique YA werewolf fantasy) so was excited to see how she took on pirates! P.S. Aussie author! Did I mention it’s an excellent standalone NA historical about pirates? Specifically Anne Bonny and Jack Rackham, with many more name drops. I thought I knew where […]
The Good Things Standalone New Adult urban fantasy set in an alternate version of 1980s London. Aussie author! Writing and plot gave me strong vibes of a cross between The Raven Cycle and The Mortal Instruments. The story was chaotic and bizarre in the best way. Definitely unique! Lots of mythical creatures and lore! I […]
Mistletoe and Mr Right is bind-up of two new adult Christmas novellas: Mistletoe and Mr Right, and Sleigh Bells and Second Chances. I wasn’t a big fan of Mistletoe and Mr Right, but I really enjoyed Sleigh Bells and Second Chances. I’m going to review the two of them separately. Mistletoe and Mr Right This […]
I love a book that deals with grief and Phantom Limbs delivers a wonderful story about grief. What I really loved about it was that it wasn’t dark and heavy, but instead was relatively lighthearted and charming. Rather than solely focusing on grief as a theme, this book also explores friendship and first love and […]
I was expecting great, great things from It Ends With Us and I was a little bit let down. It’s been established that I definitely do not have a heart of steel but yet I didn’t find myself connecting with the emotion of the story or shedding a tear at what happened in this book. […]
If there’s anything I can tell you about Cam Girl, it’s that it is one hell of a confusing book. Undefinable really. Just like the characters in the story. It gave me many conflicted thoughts about some issues that I’ve never really thought in-depth about, such as gender binary, LGBTQIA+ and the porn industry, specifically camming and dark fetishes. […]
If there’s anything that I wished I had at university, it is Summer Skin. Finally, there’s a book that tells you that having sex is okay without being called a slut, that it’s okay to stand up for yourself in an abusive relationship, that it’s okay to tell off misogynist men while still maintaining your values. This […]
After my terrible experience with this author’s book Beautiful Disaster (in which I DNF’d before getting to the halfway mark), I decided to give this one a try. I went into it trying not to dislike it, and the beginning turned out alright. The more I read it, however, the more I began to want […]
