The Good Things: The second book in Sherry Thomas’s YA historical fantasy series, The Elemental Trilogy, and a fantastic sequel. There are so many things I want to gush about. What I’m most pleased about is the fact that The Perilous Sea actually did an amnesia plotline well! I’m usually frustrated when an amnesia trope […]
The Good Things Hello, my name is Bec and I have a book hangover thanks to this novel. It’s a YA standalone thriller. A historical fantasy/ supernatural thriller actually, which I didn’t realise until I was a few chapters in. This is one of the creepiest books I’ve ever read. Most supernatural things in books […]
Ahhh I loved The Heart Principle so much! This is definitely my favourite of the series so far. Anna and Quan are the sweetest couple ever, despite having so many things in their way, like Anna being in a relationship with another guy! Reading some of Anna’s thoughts regarding people pleasing, masking real self in […]
I’m going to call it now. I think Battle Royal is my favourite book of the year. I read it in practically one sitting and since finishing it a few weeks ago, I’ve been rereading bits of it ever since. And Lucy Parker is now firmly one of my favourite romance authors. I’ve also since read the […]
I’ve just finished this beast of a book last night and I’m still fuming. HOW COULD YOU JAY KRISTOFF? But if that isn’t the reaction from reading any of the books he’s written, then it wouldn’t be right, would it? So let’s dig into Empire of the Vampire – a book that has been hyped up […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Good Things This review is hard to write because I don’t know if I can find the words to do this story justice. I finished it a week ago and am still in a book hangover from it. This is an adult literary fiction novel by an Aussie author! Standalone. It’s so different to […]
