After watching and loving DC’s Wonder Woman in cinemas earlier this year, I was excited to find out that one of my favourite authors would be retelling her origin story. The only difference? Instead of Diana’s love interest landing on Themyscira, where she’s tempted into the “world of man”, it’s a young woman who appears instead. It […]
What would you do if you were given 24 hours notice before you died? Would you spend time with your loved ones, face your fears, do what you’ve only dreamed of and finally face the inevitable? In They Both Die at the End, that’s exactly what Rufus and Mateo do when they discover it’s their End Day. […]
Note: This is the companion sequel to Vengeance Road, where you can find my review here. This review will not contain any spoilers. Also: There is graphic violence and deaths in this book. Please be aware! I really enjoyed Vengeance Road years ago and thought that the Western setting was refreshing and incredibly immersive. While […]
Every gamer’s dream is being able to actually experience the game you are playing. To actually fully immerse yourself into the game through virtual reality. Warcross explores a world where this is possible, where the gaming elite compete in real life tournaments using advanced technology. As a gamer, I’ve been highly anticipating Warcross since it was announced, and I’m […]
Spindle Fire closely follows the fairy-tale story of Sleeping Beauty, incorporating the love between two sisters and additional plotlines. While this book was a quick read, I was unimpressed it as a fairy-tale retelling and even more so as a fantasy. There was nothing I didn’t not like, but it just felt lackadaisical and boring. Spindle […]
Lured by the captivating cover, fantastical plot, and just dragons in general, The Last Namsara offers a great story but as a reader, just didn’t quite suck me in. I finished it to find out what happened and because the plot went pretty quick, making it a fast read. But I never really found myself […]
Top Ten is a novel that exceeded all of my expectations. I was not a fan of Katie Cotugno’s 99 Days at all (in fact, I pretty much hated it) so I tried to go into Top Ten with an open mind and ended up really enjoying it. It’s also no secret that I love the ‘friends to more’ trope […]
Labyrinth Lost was a book of contradictions: both wonderful yet terrifying, dark yet sweet. I absolutely loved the main character, Alejandra, or Alex, who is extremely flawed yet finds herself in possession of extreme power as the encantrix. Sure, there is the Chosen One trope, with some destiny followed in an adventure. But what makes […]
Imagine a world with technology so advanced, that its rid the world of disease and mortality. A world where people don’t know war, or disease, or happiness, or celebration. Government has disbanded, with governance that is left to a higher being called the Thunderhead. This world has become dull and lifeless, because no one can […]
