BOOK REVIEW: City of Ghosts

It's been a little while since I've posted, but I'm back with a brand new review! This time, it's for City of Ghosts, a brand new YA novel by one of my top favourite authors, Victoria Schwab. I took this away on holiday, and finished it on the Eurostar travelling there! Cass can pull back the…

BOOK REVIEW: SHADOW & BONE

Holy shit, I didn't think it would be possible for me to love this book as much as I did. Of course, the huge Crows fan that I am, I didn't realise there were another set of books before SOC before getting halfway through the book. I got copies for Christmas, but never got around…

BOOK REVIEW: Dear Martin

What a book! I was blown away by the punchiness and shock of this book, which is quite a short read for me at 210 pages. It really goes to show that author Nic Stone knows the best way to write to get a reaction from her readers, and this is proven so well in…
