Wicked Like a Wildfire by Lana Popović
Wicked Like a Wildfire is yet another hyped up YA magical realism book that completely let me down. Yes, I know that I’m starting this review in a negative way, but I just had to get that off of my chest. …
The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert
I had been waiting to read this book for over a year. I love fantasy, and I love books that feel like re-tellings, but aren’t? If you get what I mean… The Hazel Wood sounded so intriguing with its magical world, and from the synopsis, it kind of gave me a similar feeling to The Raven Boys – a whimsical world just a stretch away from ours. So because of that, and because of my love for The Raven Boys, I was so so so excited… …
The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw
I had to read this book for my monthly Waterstones book club, and guess what? I didn’t read it in time. I had read 80 pages, and at the book club, I was given spoilers for the rest of the book, but I wasn’t really that bothered. BUT! 1 week later, I finished it, and these are my thoughts… …
Shadowman Volume 1: Fear of the Dark by Andy Diggle
I’ve seen so many good graphic novels get put on Netgalley, but I hardly ever request them. The first ones I ever requested were The Damned Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 by Cullen Bunn. It was a weird experience, having to squint to read the text, and having to zoom in on the images so you could look at the illustrations in all of their glorious detail, but it was still enjoyable. So now, whenever I see a graphic novel that looks interesting, I request it. …
The Passion of New Eve by Angela Carter
The Passion of New Eve was another book that I had to read for my Gender, Sex and Culture class for university. I’m normally a massive fan of Angela Carter’s writing but TPONE was a story that I just couldn’t wrap my head around.

The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton
I have seen this book splashed across the book community with nearly everyone saying how amazing it is and that it’s one of their all-time favourite books. The concept sounded very interesting, but I think what wasn’t cool, was that the blurb was just misleading… …
The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater
I literally read this book a week ago and I’m struggling to remember what happened so that I can write this review. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME! This is what happens when you read so much, you just forget everything. BUT, I can remember that I absolutely loved this book apart from a few tiny tiny things and it was a very nice ending to an amazing quartet. …
Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater
It has been so long since I read The Dream Thieves that I had to read spoiler reviews of the book so that I could refresh my memory. When I started reading Blue Lily, Lily Blue, I still couldn’t remember what had happened but as kept reading, I remembered and all of the reasons why I love this series came flooding back. …
A Jigsaw of Fire and Stars by Yaba Badoe
When I searched this book on Goodreads so that I could add it to my ‘currently reading’ shelf, I noticed that this book had a very low average rating and I just felt so disheartened. But, I started the book and read it til the very ending. The average ratings on Goodreads didn’t miss the mark too much. …
