For those who don’t follow me on instagram, this past year I started doing some Pro vs Con style mini reviews. They’re quick and easy to write and read, so I thought I’d try posting them here too and see how they go on an actual blog. The Good Things The writing is beautiful. I […]
I don’t know about you, but I’m slightly scared of hyped books in fear of it not meeting my expectations. As far as hyped books go, House of Earth & Blood is definitely one of them! The size of it was also daunting, at over 800 pages, it better be good. So it took me […]
In search of a good mystery thriller, I picked up Deep Water after I received an ARC and then it happened – I couldn’t put it down! I really enjoyed Small Spaces which was Sarah’s debut thriller, so I knew I was going to enjoy this one too. Henry Weaver is a thirteen year boy who […]
It’s been a few days since I’ve finished Infinity Son and let it sink in, and I’ve finally decided on my thoughts on it. There’s a lot to like about this book, but there’s also a lot that I didn’t really like. Which is really disappointing, because I have loved Adam Silvera’s other books. But […]
Darkdawn is the 3rd book in the Nevernight Chronicle. This is a spoiler free review. It’s not everyday when you go into the last book in a series knowing how it is going to end. The first few lines of Nevernight tell you that Mia is going to die, which was teased by Jay Kristoff […]

It sounded completely magical as an ode to storytelling and the tales that are told, with a labyrinth filled with secrets. Sadly, the reading experience didn’t quite match up […]
I’ve read all of Sarah Crossan’s books and Toffee is probably my favourite of hers. Like with her other books, Toffee tackles hard-hitting topics in verse and makes us feel all of the emotions. And because it’s written in verse, it’s a really quick but impactful read. Toffee is a beautiful story about families of choice and finding acceptance […]
This review may contain spoilers for the rest of the Arc of the Scythe series. Read reviews here for Scythe and Thunderhead. It’s always satisfying and slightly terrifying delving into a series ender, especially one that I’ve loved as much as the rest of the Arc of the Scythe series. But when The Toll turned up on my doorstep, […]
A murder mystery set in futuristic Disney-like theme park with the princesses as hybrid android/humans? Count me in! I first heard of The Kingdom and knew I was going to love it because of the sci-fi twist, but after reading it, I cherished it even more – it’s such a wild and unique concept that […]
