Not quite dark academia, not quite fantasy mystery, A Study in Drowning is one of those books that is difficult to define. If I were to call it anything, I would go with a magical realism that fosters the love of books and literature. Through Effy’s perspective, we see the female architecture student accept a task out […]
Is there anything better than a book about food? If you enjoy food-themed books, you will absolutely love this one. It’s so full of foodie goodness… with the added bonus of being set in the 19th century. My Fine Fellow is loosely based on My Fair Lady. The novel follows two soon-to-be-Culinarians, Helena and Penelope, who […]
After the disappointment that was Blood & Honey, where did we go wrong with this series? I truly had higher expectations for this one, given how long, draggy and unnecessary many of the plot points where in Blood & Honey. Except for the last few chapters and the epilogue, Gods & Monsters was a mess […]
What an absolutely stunning cover! That’s what initially drew me in to Star Daughter, but when I heard it featured actual star beings based off Hindu mythology, I had to pick it up. Things I Liked About Star Daughter The concept is so unique, unlike anything I’ve read before. Sheetal is half-star, half-human, with the power to […]
If you love contemporary romances and K-pop, you will love XOXO! I’m not really a K-Pop person, but I am a J-Pop and idol kind of girl so this book was still the perfect light and fluffy romance read for me. I mean, anyone who’s into idol culture has fantasised about dating an idol right? 😀 XOXO […]
I was not ready for the wild ride that was My Contrary Mary. And I have no idea why because all of the first two Jane books (yes, sorry I will get to My Calamity Jane soon) were equally wild. But if you loved the world and the characters from My Lady Jane, you will highly enjoy My Contrary Mary. In […]
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 […]
I absolutely loved the hate to love romance in Serpent & Dove last year, especially the memorable characters and the witchy atmosphere within it. Blood & Honey was one of my most anticipated reads this year, how does it stack up as a sequel? Before diving into Blood & Honey, I read the official recap for the first […]
Serpent & Dove sends readers into a historical, fantastical France setting where the triumphant Chasseurs protect the people from the flames of witchcraft, while the witches are hunted and sworn to secrecy. This book ended up being darker than I expected, but I ultimately REALLY enjoyed the atmosphere and world that Mahurin created. Being a […]
