Book Review: A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

This is one of those books that has been on my TBR list forever. In fact my partner bought me the whole series for Christmas 2019 and I’ve only just now picked it up. So how to summarise this book. Kell is one of only two people that can pass between worlds. He hails from… Continue reading Book Review: A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

Book Review: Tempting Hades by Emma Hamm

Yes, another Hades and Persephone retelling. I’m on the search for one I really love and can give 5* too. I’d been wanting to read this one for ages and I finally caved after A Touch of Ruin. So, this is a pretty typical Hades and Persephone retelling. It’s set in Ancient Greece and follows… Continue reading Book Review: Tempting Hades by Emma Hamm

Book Review: A Touch of Ruin by Scarlett St Clair (Including mini review of A Touch of Darkness!)

So, I read A Touch of Darkness at the end of 2020 – another Christmas present that I was super excited for. Mini review for that: this book definitely made me fall in love with Hades and Persephone retellings – why have I not tried them before? Enemies to lover, dark love interest – that’s… Continue reading Book Review: A Touch of Ruin by Scarlett St Clair (Including mini review of A Touch of Darkness!)

Book Review: From Blood and Ash by Jenifer L. Armentrout

So Poppy is the maiden, blessed by the gods, and linked to the ascension of hundreds… Continue reading Book Review: From Blood and Ash by Jenifer L. Armentrout

Book Review: The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi

So, I actually started this at the end of 2020 but I read most of it in 2021 and Goodreads counts that towards my reading challenge so here we are! The Gilded Wolves was one of those books that I originally had little interest in reading (I often struggle with a historical setting but that… Continue reading Book Review: The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi

Audiobook Review: Polaris Rising by Jessie Milalik

Another sci-fi romance for you guys! I’d seen this book around a couple of times, mainly because the second book is Aurora Blazing which tends to come up if you search for Aurora Burning! Anyway, I saw the audiobook on the BorrowBox app (a great app which is run through your local library service!) and… Continue reading Audiobook Review: Polaris Rising by Jessie Milalik

Book Review: How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories by Holly Black

Its time to review one of my most anticipated reads of the year guys!! I am in the camp that loves everything about Jude and Cardan, they are so thoroughly an enemies to lovers relationship and that is my absolute favourite. It’s not even like ‘I thought he was a bad guy but actually he… Continue reading Book Review: How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories by Holly Black

Book Review: Fable by Adrienne Young

Why do I keep letting myself get behind with reviews? Ughh it’s so bad when I leave reviews because now, I can’t remember the book as well. This was definitely one of the books that I was really anticipating. I got the Fairyloot edition, but I’ll obviously have to buy the original cover because it’s… Continue reading Book Review: Fable by Adrienne Young
