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 […]
The Good Things Guess who has a late addition to their best reads of 2020! Brilliant and addictive standalone NA historical thriller by an Aussie author. Strong Mindhunter vibes (but with more actual crime solving, less of the character’s outside lives). It’s so hard not to just gush about everything. I figured out a few […]
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! […]
The Good Things I loved Caddy’s debut, Waer (it’s such a unique YA werewolf fantasy) so was excited to see how she took on pirates! P.S. Aussie author! Did I mention it’s an excellent standalone NA historical about pirates? Specifically Anne Bonny and Jack Rackham, with many more name drops. I thought I knew where […]
The Good things Final book in the Embassy Row trilogy, a YA contemporary/ thriller trilogy. This was what I’d been waiting for in the last two books! Twists and turns, centuries old secrets and deep betrayals! And a lot more death! All my pressing questions have been answered! I finished this in one sitting (more […]
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 Book 2 in the Embassy Row trilogy, a YA thriller/ contemporary series. Picks up directly where All Fall Down ended and gets moving. It explores more of Grace’s mother’s secrets and introduced some new mysteries. Like all Ally Carter books, super easy to read. Especially the last half! I’m super intrigued by […]
The Good Things Loved the idea of the multiverse! I was keen to see how it worked in a contemporary, since it’s usually more of a sci-fi thing. I’d also heard a lot about E. Lockhart’s thrillers so was excited to try one of her books. The dogs! They’re hilarious. Each had its own personality. […]
The Good Things YA contemporary/ thriller. A refresher reread for me so I can finally finish the trilogy. Ally Carter! Her books are always fast paced fun reads. First person present tense with short chapters that end in cliffhangers makes for a very addictive read! Grace’s PTSD and panic attacks are a big part of […]
