Welcome to my weird world!
How is it that after, how many is it, six different similar-themed young adult mystery thrillers, Karen M. McManus still finds ways to keep us excited for what's to happen and just relating to the heroes as easily as if they were our cousins? As much as One Of Us Is Next was a terrific...

I hopefully will never get tired of the YA genre, especially since a fair few are much easier to digest than adult ones. With this one, I felt a bit like I'd already read it, and with it came some fatigue, but there was enough to keep me interested. I've read better, and I've also... Continue Reading →
Cale Dietrich, through his writing, seems like he's the nicest guy in the world, and so I like it whenever I see he has a new book he's been able to get onto shelves. His debut novel The Love Interest was a wonderful surprise, a romantic thrill ride with a satisfying ending and a feeling... Continue Reading →
I've been on a big hiatus from book reviewing, and I hope to finally really get back into it. I've missed it. And let's start with this review! I'm sad to say I was looking forward to the sequel and conclusion to the Gilded duology, from one of my favourite authors, and it really disappointed... Continue Reading →
Definitely one of the most mixed experiences I've ever had with a book series, I admire Kendare Blake's Three Dark Crowns series as a whole, based on the three out of four books in the series I have read, but I also think you'd have to be a very patient and devoted reader to really...

Marissa Meyer is one of my favourite authors and probably always will be. I devoured her Lunar Chronicles books in their primetime and I can't decide if her Renegades series is better or not, but the day I revisit both series, I'm going to have a tense grin on my face. With this one it's... Continue Reading →
The world is a horrible place, isn't it? And so much is expected out of each and every one of us, in the world and in ourselves, but almost none of us can truly live up to either of them. So we might look for a little easy gratification, in drugs and alcohol. Or in... Continue Reading →
I think about June Iparis and Daniel Wing all the time, as the simple June and Day of course. I read the Legend trilogy years ago. I really liked the first Legend and Prodigy turned into one of my favourite books of all time. I've only read it once but everything about it had me... Continue Reading →
I always love a good dystopia. Especially in today's times, I feel I need someone to look up to who will take on the power-mad monsters and be out for blood. This fantastical world has two different nations; Astrea and Kalovaxia, and the people there call themselves Astreans and Kalovaxians. Straightforward, right? Yes. But ten... Continue Reading →
This should have been a bestseller. Deadfall is pure adrenaline rush as it tells a story that bounces between the past and present, in equally engaging stories of deceit, fear and heartpound. Ty and Cory Bic are very different but inseparable brothers. Cory is a closeted kid who loves cooking and video games, while Ty... Continue Reading →
