Another foray into the adult romance scenarios and I loved the retelling aspects of this one. Desperate Measures is based on the story of Aladdin and Jasmine but with Jafar as the hero. I think it was an interesting change and it added more to the story than the original. However as much as I…
I really wanted to read The Last Wish before I started watching the Netflix show but I’m not sure I’m completely sold on the series. I thought that some of the stories were brilliant and others seemed to drag and I wasn’t sure what the actual point of the others. I’m hoping that if I…
Stronger, Faster and More Beautiful is a collection of six stories, all of which comments on how technology can better or destroy the human race. I think the commentary in this book was really well placed and offered a really unique insight into the world of technology and how that meshes with humans. I did…
Eeny Meeny is a book that I picked up to fulfil one of my challenges this year. I have to say I knew it was a murder mystery but I wasn’t expecting the twists and turns that this book ended up taking me on or the gore and graphic nature of the plot. Basically, we…
I picked this When We Believed in Mermaids up on Kindle Unlimited and I had no idea what I was expecting if I am being perfectly honest. It was a bit of a title buy and to be honest it was a little bit of a weird one for me. I really wanted to enjoy…

The Grace Year was an interesting concept, it reminded me of The Handmaid’s Tale in all the right ways. I loved the different ways that the girls were categorised and the way that everything comes together really shocked me. I don’t know what I was expecting but it definitely wasn’t that, and I really loved…

Ever Alice was an ARC that I was really interested in reading, the concept really appealed to me, especially because Alice is a little older in this one and is a little more aware of everything that is going on around her. I was interested to see what impact that was going to have on…
All The Things We Never Said was a book that I was a little dubious about going into it, only because of the subject matter it deals with. Finally a book that isn’t romance based, check out my review of What She Found in the Woods if that’s what you’re looking for. I have to…

There seems to be a running theme with my reading style at the moment and I’m very into the ‘will they, won’t they’ type of romance at the minute especially with The Morning After the Wedding Before. Only Ever You definitely falls into that category, and I really enjoyed the moments and references that were…
We Must Be Brave was a book that I received from NetGalley and I had been on a real historical fiction push so this seemed to be the perfect fit for my reading but for some reason it just didn’t grab my attention. I actually really struggled with reading through this and I even took…
