The Long Game by Elena Armas

I came into this book as a big Elena Armas fan. I thought the Spanish Love Deception was adorable and featured so many of my favourite tropes. The American Roommate Experiment (which I read first) had me running out to buy a record player and some second hand vinyl. Maybe my expectations were too high. …

(A Southern Family Saga… and a whole lot of Whiskey): The Bourbon Kings by JR Ward

As a JR Ward fan I was looking forward to her newest series.

(Review): Stealing Snow by Danielle Paige

I’ve been on a bit of a fairytale retelling kick at the moment and I’m loving how authors are using the classic stories as a base to write their own wonderfully twisted, interesting and exciting tales. I had high hopes for Stealing Snow. Loosely based on Hans Christian Anderson’s The Snow Queen (you may be …

(Review): Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake

Three Sisters. One Throne. A Fight to the Death. That’s the tagline for Three Dark Crowns and it fits this novel perfectly. Think The Hunger Games for magical royal triplets. Three sisters were separated as children and sent to families chosen to best help them with their gifts. Katharine was raised to be the most …

Magnus Chase is his newest series which combines Norse legends with a teenage boy just trying to get by. Sword of Summer …

Review: Until Friday Night by Abbi Glines

Until Friday Night is the first book in Abbi Glines’ The Field Party series featuring footballers, cheerleaders and the game which brings the whole town together. With this new series being aimed at a slightly younger audience than her bestselling new adult series, Sea Breeze and Rosemary Beach, I was curious to see what Abbi would …

Review: Carousel by Brendan Ritchie

Carousel is one of those books which is eerie and so very creepy because of how real it feels. For Nox, Lizzy, Taylor and Rocky – a routine trip to the shops ended in a nightmare none of them ever could have anticipated. I’ve never spent the night in a shopping centre – never mind been trapped …
