I can't write books so I review them instead
A long long time ago, I read Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo. It was one of my first forays into YA fiction and I believe I enjoyed it. But I never got into the rest of the books in the series and even though, I would see the Grisha series and other Leigh Bardugo…
I love a good thriller, especially when it takes something so normal and reveals its darker underside. Duckworth does exactly that with Unfollow Me. With the advent of influencers and family vlogging, this novel really makes you think twice about sharing everything online to strangers. The characters we are introduced to are genuinely insane; their…
I really liked the premise of this novel but its execution really didn’t work for me. It was just trying too hard. I like the concept: readers get to read two versions of a story in alternating chapters. It’s great for people who always wonder what if life had worked out differently. And that’s the…
What a fascinating story! I went into this novel with no expectations and it truly blew me away. From the first page, this book has had me in a chokehold. This novel is really hard to describe. It isn’t a typical ghost story. It isn’t a typical thriller or mystery. It’s got elements of historical…
I may not have been a fan of For the Wolf but Whitten has knocked it out of the park with this horror debut! It’s a genuinely great read! I’ve always found open bodies of water terrifying. It’s exactly why the premise of this novel scared me so much. There is something lurking in the…
The more I read of Bennett, the more I feel that he can do no wrong when it comes to his books. From The Divine Cities trilogy to The Founders trilogy, I’m in awe of the worlds he brings to life. This series is no different. A Drop of Corruption starts off with Din and…
To say this thriller audiobook has been the highlight of my summer reading would be an understatement. I absolutely loved this novel! The experience of listening to this book was incredible. We’ve got a great cast of narrators who made the characters come to life. The audiobook also worked well with the entire concept of…
This novel is definitely outside of my comfort zone. I don’t usually go for romantic fantasy stories. But the premise was too hard to resist; I just love stories that entangle gods and humans. I really liked the way the author wrote this novel. It flows well and is easy to get through. The worldbuilding…
I went into this novella completely blind. I had no idea that it was a Lovcraft retelling. However, even if you are not familiar with the original, this was a great atmospheric read. Safe to say, I enjoyed it immensely. To start, it needs to be made clear that this is not a typical horror…
After loving The Bone Shard Daughter (and yes, I still haven’t finished the series – it’s on my to-do list for 2026!), I was eager to read more by Stewart. And the premise of this novel had me excited! However, the novel fails to deliver on its promises. Let’s start with the positives: The world…
Is this the year for horror books? Every single one I have come across has made me very excited – and this is no exception. The Winter Folk is a great read that offers something new and delightful. When I say I could not put this book down, I mean it! The author has captured…
