This whole series makes me feel like I’m having drunken flashbacks, but I somehow find that enjoyable. If you’re ever looking for a series to really challenge the brain cells, well you’ve found it in The Locked Tomb. Gideon the Ninth made me feel dumb but I still loved all of Gideon’s one-liners and putting […]
After the m/m royal romance, Red White and Royal Blue came out, I was definitely keen to pick up the newly released queer contemporary book. I Kissed Shara Wheeler offers a deep dive into queerness in a religious Christian school, and the forced pressure that comes with what is expected of you. From Chloe, the bisxual […]
The Good Things Final book in the Omte Origins trilogy, a NA Urban Fantasy series. My favourite of the three books, and also the biggest. This plot is what I was waiting for in the previous books, with more lore, action, and answers. And the plot gets moving straight away It had some great twists […]
The Good Things The latest from Juliet Marillier! One of my all time favourite authors. The second book in her Warrior Bards trilogy. Historical fantasy with plenty of faerie lore (because it is a Marillier book). New adult (in that the characters are 19 and it covers some heavy themes. It’s not a steamy NA). […]
The Good Things I remember when the Trylle books first came out and were hyped! But I never got around to reading them. It was exciting to finally jump into the world! Such a well developed, fleshed out world! There was so much troll mythology, history, and lore! I actually read the entire glossary because […]
The Good Things A NEW JULIET MARILLIER SERIES! She’s one of my all-time favourite authors. Her books are amazing historical fantasy novels, all with a healthy dose of meddling fey and folklore. There’s a really strong connection to the Blackthron & Grim trilogy, one I didn’t realise existed until after I started reading! Three alternating […]
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 […]
What an unexpected surprise! I was completely hooked from beginning to end with Hive, as we find out about the cult-like world that Hayley lives in. It starts with a bee going where it shouldn’t, a drip from the ceiling and secrets that shouldn’t be told, and from there, Hayley’s life is thrown into turmoil. […]
I’m always a sucker for stories about people with special abilities, especially when it comes to elemental powers. Because who doesn’t love a good dose of Xmen? The Dysasters follows a group of teenagers who find out they have elemental powers and learn how they can control them. We follow two characters, Tate and Foster in […]
