The Good Things YA paranormal/ urban fantasy trilogy. I’m rereading the first two books (which I first read in 2010) so I can finally finish the series. Fun story! Lots of sass and hilarious chapter names. THE NARRATOR!! I’m rereading this via audiobook and this narrator is amazing! I think she made me enjoy it […]
This review may contain minor (unintentional) spoilers for the other Shadowhunter books. Proceed with caution! I swear Cassie Clare is trying to kill us all with anticipation! I thought the end of Chain of Gold was bad for my heart but that was nothing compared to the dread I feel when I think about the rest of […]
The Good Things YA fantasy/ sci-fi from one of my favourite author duos. There was more of a focus on the fantasy side in this first book. Really interesting worlds! Loved the lore and magic. And the history!! Fascinating how each culture was different. Also the political intrigue!! I wasn’t expecting that in this book. […]
I’m so so glad there’s a book like Felix Ever After that covers intersectional identities in such a layered way! It’s important to have stories with queer POC that are not only celebrated, but to also represent teens and people out there. This has turned out to be one of my favourites of the year, and […]
Woven in Moonlight was a book that I knew I had to read as soon as I read the synopsis and saw the beautiful cover. And even though it took me almost 6 months to pick it up after purchasing it, it was on my TBR every single month in the last half of 2020. And […]
If there’s anything that I love more than a diverse book, it’s a diverse book with Asian characters. Even better when the premise is completely unique, like with These Violent Delights. This Romeo & Juliet retelling definitely has a few twists to it’s own, as we follow Juliette and Roma in 1920s Shanghai, heirs to their […]
The Good Things Suspenseful YA thriller by one of my favourite authors. First two thirds is a really intense hostage situation gone wrong. It had me on the edge of my seat! I couldn’t believe how much good plot and character development was squeezed into such a short amount of time. Last part is an […]
Legendborn was legit one of the BEST books I’ve read all year!!! It’s a pretty wild mash up, you’ve got Mortal Instruments meets King Arthur, Black girl magic, trauma and grief set in college…. BUT STAY WITH ME it was done SOOOO well and everything was explored in-depth as well! I had goosebumps when I […]
The Good Things Fantastic YA/NA standalone fantasy debut (one MC is 17, the other 23ish). Super interesting world with a nice side of a cursed town (It’s an interesting time to read about pestilence, death, and quarantine haha). Loved the steampunk elements! I was not expecting that so it was a fun surprise. It’s addictive! […]
