A YA thriller… I haven’t really seen many of these within the YA book community, so when I received S.T.A.G.S from the publisher to review, I read the blurb and I was very intrigued to see how a YA thriller would be written. There were some of the usual ‘rich people’ tropes that were in the book, but all in all, it was a very enjoyable read. …
AHHHHHH! THIS IS MORE LIKE IT! This was so much better. The storyline kicks off again and we see more of Lea’s character when it’s just her on her own and when she’s not with so many other people. …
I bought Lament for the Fallen by Gavin Chait ages and ago (and I still haven’t read it) so when I was given the opportunity to read another one of his novels: Our Memories Like Dust, I jumped at the chance. And now, I really wish I hadn’t… …
I always love reading novels that centre around family dynamics and it’s actually one of the types of books that I look for the most. Gone are the days where I want to read about unrequited love all of the time; I want to read about families and the troubles or happiness that they go through. All the Ways the World Can End is one of those books. …
It has been so long since I read episode 5 of this charming episodic novel, that I had to go back and read episode 5 again. Episode 6 carries straight on from the happenings of the previous episode and focuses more on the family dynamic between Billy and Lea. …
Normally, I don’t read thrillers because they seem so formulaic to me? They always feel like the same story line… or maybe I’m just reading the wrong thriller novels? When I started reading the book, it seemed very similar to In a Dark Dark Wood by Ruth Ware… And to be honest, it stayed similar throughout the whole book. …
I’m a sucker for sci-fi books. I love space soooo much so when I read that this book was “set in space” AND was a reality TV show, I was all for it. However, reading the blurb didn’t exactly give away what kind of read I was in for… …
I was browsing through Netgalley as I hadn’t looked in absolutely aaggeeesss, and I stumbled across None of the Above, read the description and I was immediately intrigued. I had never read a book that had an intersex character as the protagonist before and the premise of the book sounded really interesting. …
Ok, I’ll admit, at first I genuinely thought that this was a book that centred around two Indian lesbians meeting each other and falling in love. I was all about that life and it was one of the reasons why I was so excited to read it. Wow, how wrong was I?! If anything, this highlighted my ignorance towards Indian culture as I didn’t realise that Rishi was actually a male name. However, even though I had found out that this was a heterosexual relationship book, I was still intrigued because of the diversity and because the female protagonist is a computer coder! …
I LOVED this book! It was just… wow… I can’t seem to get my brain together to write this review. I saw this book advertised about a year ago and I had read all of the hype that surrounded it. But when I looked on Amazon to buy it, it was £53 for the Audio CD and £35 for the hardcover. I was beat. But luckily, I waited and Nemesis was finally sent to me from the publisher so for that, I’ll be forever grateful! …
