I can’t believe that I’ve finished the series! This makes me so sad! I need a novella (or two… or three… I JUST NEED MORE OF THESE CHARACTERS AND THIS WORLD!)

Disclaimer: spoilers ahead since well… I found it very hard to write this review without spoilers, so I decided to put the spoilers back in and just warn you guys instead!

After listening to Kiss of Deception on audiobook, I was a bit apprehensive of carrying on with the series. I gave the first book 4 stars, so I wasn’t apprehensive because it wasn’t very good, I was apprehensive because I wasn’t sure where Mary E. Pearson could have gone with the story that would have taken up 2 more books. However, I’m really glad that I decided to carry on with the series as I have ended up loving the characters more than before.

I tend to stray away from VERY hyped up books because I end up being disappointed, but I had a feeling that THUG was a book that wasn’t going to let me down.

Rafferty Lincoln Loves… by Emily Williams

Last year, I read Emily Williams’ debut novel, Letters to Eloise and it became one of my best reads of 2017. She contacted me a couple of weeks ago, asking whether I could read her new novel that’s coming out on February 14th 2018 and I jumped at the chance. I was so excited that I emailed her back straight away saying ‘yes’, and as soon as Williams had sent me the book, I started to read…

Paper Girls Vol. 2 by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang

Paper Girls Vol. 2 by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang

If you read my review of volume one of this series, you will know that whilst I (kinda) enjoyed it, it was too much of a fast-moving storyline with no character connection. I was hoping that volume two would flesh out the characters a little bit more, and that we would stop in one time for a little bit longer so that I could get used to the world, rather than moving around really quickly so that I get whiplash.
