Genuine Fraud by E Lockhart. Review

Wowzer! Like many other people I loved We Were Liars but Genuine Fraud is something else!  The first thing that strikes you about this book is that it starts at the end. Jule, an orphan is living it up in a posh hotel. She’s rich, alone and feisty. But also a little bit mysterious and deadly.Continue

Wonder Woman Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo. Review

Eeeeesh! This was so good. I love Wonder Woman and also Greek mythology so obviously a book about the Amazon Wonder Woman was always going to be on my TBR. Anyway, I finally got round to reading it today after buying it in September and here is my review!  Wonder Woman is such a powerfulContinue

September 2017 wrap up!

It’s that time again! Yay! I really love doing the wrap up and getting the chance to look back on what I’ve read this month, what I’ve enjoyed etc. This month I read 22 books at a total of 8,149 pages which is less books but more pages than usual so still a win. I’mContinue

The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden. Review.

‘Almost midnight – that wicked, magic hour – on a night menaced by ice and storm and the abyss of the featureless sky.’ I absolutely adored The Bear and the Nightingale so I was so happy when I was granted a review copy of The Girl in the Tower thanks to Netgalley and Ebury publishing. Continue

Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon. Review

Read no further if you haven’t read the first book Outlander as there will be spoilers from the first novel, but none from Dragonfly in Amber.  I really enjoyed Outlander where I was swept into the world of Claire and Jamie Fraser. Claire travels back through time to the 1700s where she meets a youngContinue

The King’s Curse by Philippa Gregory. Review

It all started with The Cousins War or at least it did for, my love of Philippa Gregory came when I cut my teeth on the White Queen, The Red Queen, Lady of the Rivers etc. Then of course the story began to merge with the Tudors. With the release of The Last Tudor (checkContinue

Behind Closed Doors by Kathryn Croft. Review.

I want to say initially that having seen some of the really bad reviews of this book on Goodreads, I really cannot understand them. I get that everyone’s entitled to their opinions but it’s really lost on me, how, if you’re a fan of psychological thrillers you couldn’t enjoy this book.  Now that’s out ofContinue

Her Last Tomorrow by Adam Croft. Review

This book has been on my TBR for ages after I read a piece about the author in Writer’s Mag. Her Last Tomorrow has an intriguing premise; would you kill your wife to save your daughter?  Nick and Tasha’s lives fall apart when their 5 year old daughter Ellie disappears one morning. Then Nick receivesContinue

July Book Haul

Where has this month gone?? Not a huge one this month and it’s going to be getting much smaller as I’m trying to read the books I have before I buy anymore, we’ll see if I stick to that though!  So here we go! I hauled 27 books this month including ARCs.  The Friend byContinue

Final Girls by Riley Sager. Review.

‘I’m here to teach you how to be a final girl.’  We’ve all heard of final girls. Even if we don’t know them by that name. They’re the girls who survive a massacre in a horror movie. The ones that live by some miracle instead of being slaughtered like all of their friends.  Quincy Carpenter,Continue
