Superheroes are my jam and Zeroes is a high octane, action-packed story about a team of teenage misfits who also happen to have powers. Superpowers never get old for me, and I loved hearing about the different powers that each of the six teens had. Kelsie has the power of crowd control, which comes in handy […]
To celebrate Halloween, today I’m reviewing an Australian thriller novel that has been compared to The Girl on the Train. Told from the perspectives of the stepsister, the journal of the victim Loren, a reporter and a Judge, we discover the life and seemingly perfect marriage between the beautiful Loren and the successful David. As […]
You know when you’re struggling towards a goal, but endless roadblocks are thrown in the way? That has been Evie’s journey throughout the Spark series. The biggest blockades to her living the life she wants, are the people who make up the Affinity Project. Being a genetically enhanced weapon, Evie is constantly pulled from pillar to […]
There’s always something inspiring about reading about a character that doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her, or doesn’t let it show. Being about a fat girl and a guy who suffers from face blindness, Holding Up the Universe was a fearless, inspirational hot mess. I don’t know whether I love or hate Libby Strout.

Although Kingdom of Ash and Briars was extremely […]

I couldn’t connect with the characters or their stories at all and almost gave up after 100 pages. The ending did redeem the book slightly but overall, the novel was a bit unmemorable 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. […]
Having read many YA thrillers, the bar is set quite high for me. Black approaches the thriller genre in a unique way, presenting a girl who is presumed to be cursed by the rest of the town. It really captures the small town feel, where rumours can spiral out of control and everyone knows your […]
After the striking cliffhanger of Court of Fives, I was very excited to start this sequel! I thought it was definitely an underrated fantasy published last year that more readers should check out. We start immediately after when the first book ended, and readers are instantly thrown into the midst of plotting and schemes throughout the […]
