An alien story, without aliens – It Came From The Sky Review
I’ve found myself wanting to read some alien stories recently, dunno why, but I decided to start my exploration with It Came From The Sky by Chelsea Sedoti – it’s an alien story with no aliens. I know, kinda an exercise in futility there right? Well, no actually. It Came From The Sky was a…
Double Feature: Teenagers, Drama & Danger
Teenage drama…you know, when I was an actual teenager I wanted absolutley zero to do with it, but now that I’m an adult I LOVE indulging in a little guilty pleasure via book form! And that’s great news because I recentley read two teenage-drama focused books. All Your Twisted Secrets by Diana Urban and Clique…
A YA Fantasy Classic Retelling – Belle Revolte Review
So on Goodreads I gave Belle Revolte 3 stars, but my actual rating is 3.25/5. That may not seem like an important distinction, but it is to me. Belle Revolte is one of those books where the cover drew me in immediately. I mean, just look at it! It’s stunning, it’s like dripping donut glaze…
Some dreams chase you back… – Reverie review
Reverie by Ryan La Sala is a very unusual book that is described as Inception meets The Magicians, but I don’t think that does it justice.

Here’s the truth – The Truth About Keeping Secrets Review
The Truth About Keeping Secrets was not exactly the book that I was expecting. I knew this was going to be a YA book (and we all know I love those!) but I was expecting much more of a thriller than what I actually got. In all honesty, The Truth About Keeping Secrets is less of a thriller…
I Can’t Keep This Secret! – Two Can Keep A Secret Review
Ok, complete GUSH time! Anyone who has been following me, either on here or on Instagram, for a while will know that I am a huge fan of Karen M. McManus just from her first book, One of Us is Lying. So naturally I couldn’t wait to read her second novel Two Can Keep A Secret! Considering I awarded One…
