I wanted to read this book because I enjoyed The Giver of Stars and the Me Before You series and wanted to see more of her work. This book was the first one where it seemed like a mission to finish it, and I didn’t really enjoy it.

This book has two points of view. The first is Nisha Cantor and she has been living the globetrotting life of the seriously wealthy, until her husband announces a divorce and cuts her off. Nisha is determined to hang onto her glamorous life. But in the meantime, she must scramble to cope – she doesn’t even have the shoes she was, until a moment ago, standing in. That’s because of Sam Kemp – the second point view. She is in the bleakest point of her life, and she has accidentally taken Nisha’s gym bag. But Sam hardly has time to worry about a lost gym bag – she's struggling to keep herself and her family afloat. When she tries on Nisha’s six-inch high Christian Louboutin red crocodile shoes, the resulting jolt of confidence that makes her realize something must change and that thing is herself.

The issue I had with this book that I hated both main characters; they were both so selfish and stuck up even though they were from “different worlds”. I get it, both of their husbands were so shitty people, but don’t be even shitter please. I also understand that these two were going through equally traumatic things but again, so is everyone don’t be a shitty person. People were obviously going to judge Nisha, she was an American walking round London screaming and in barely any clothes, I would have thought she belonged in a loony bin especially with how rude she was being. I don’t understand why she didn’t just go straight to the police or the embassy, they would have helped her. Sam was doing okay at her job but she was getting shit from her boss and then her husband is dealing with depression and yet all she’s complaining about is not being seen, like mental health is a rough subject and then she’s not being empathic and then just shouting at him, like her daughter was more empathic even if she thought Sam was having an affair (she might not have been having a text book affair, but she was definitely cheating). Sam needed to stand up for herself more and filled a complaint against her boss from HR, but again she was just like not my life. How many of us have got a crappy boss and still carry on with work? She wasn’t even looking to find a job and one just magically fell in her lap. The pacing of the book was so slow and both character’s inner thoughts was just boring, and I ended up skimming most of them where they weren’t talking to people, and they were just thinking about things. I would have liked more to do with the case, did Nisha testify? How did this go down with her rich friends? Did they all come out of the woodworks and support Nisha?

Even though all the men in this book should have been shitty and have done shitty things. Phil’s depression and anxiety and him trying to talk to a therapist were so real and I liked watching him grow and realize that the depression isn’t taking over his life and showing how much of a struggle it is for men to open up with people. If Sam knew that Phil’s dad was begging and demeaning him to get him to kill him. Like you know how shitty that is? How would Sam feel, I bet that she would take her mum and dad complaining over random things that her dad calling her things to die. Aleks was so sweet as well and sort of proved that the best men and the most romantic doesn't have to be filthy rich, they can be homely and a gentleman and still be a head chef and things. I liked the friendship that developed but Jasmine was a saint to deal with Nisha just because she’s a good person.

This was a disappointment for me and hoping that the next Jojo Moyes book I read is better than this and more like The Giver of Stars.

I wanted to finish this series because I had been enjoying it so far. I enjoyed the 2nd and 3rd book, I struggled with the 1st, 4th and this book. It was just a disappointing end to a series.

This book is based of Faelyn and she is one of the last surviving witches. Her sole duty is to keep the protective barriers on the forest where the lykin roam – creatures who can shed flesh for fur – sparing nearby humans from their violent, beastly natures. When she has an unlikely encounter with the rare, primordial spirit of the moon, Faelyn finds herself not only the object of the Wolf King’s desire, but essential to his ability to keep his crown. She is taken to the magical land of Midscape, the Wolf King claims her as his bride to control the moon spirit’s magic that now resides within Faelyn. But Faelyn refuses to resign herself and the spirit Aurora to a life of servitude underneath the king’s cruel rule. Faelyn hatches a dangerous plan for them both to escape, and help comes from an unlikely ally. Evander is the king’s loyal knight, right hand, and Faelyn’s sworn protector on the outside. But appearances are not what they seem. He plots against the king’s brutality at every turn and helping Faelyn escape will serve these ends. But altruism for Faelyn and the trapped moon spirit isn’t his only motivation. Evander is hiding secrets, and they might change Faelyn’s life forever.

This book had such potential to be amazing and it just fell flat in some areas, like the first book in this series. I was sort of hoping for the book to end on a high and it just didn’t get me hooked like the books in the middle of the series. I was actually rooting for this to be a sapphic book, because Faelyn and Aurora had so much more chemistry than Faelyn and Evander. Like they have to be together for their powers to work and for them to beat the Wolf King. I was rooting for them so much and then Aurora goes and scarifies herself like no thanks. Stay where you were and be Faelyn’s mate. I wasn’t loving either of the main characters, usually I'm rooting for them both or rooting for one of them, but it was just like you are both as bad as each other and if you weren’t mates, the day wouldn’t have been saved. I felt like the spirits talk was just glossed over as well and for a pretty big part of it, I was getting slightly confused. The book mentioned the other characters but there wasn’t a lot that was done, I would have liked to see another character within the series be involved with the big bad guy.

I liked that Faelyn did have a massive character development and that she ended up being more powerful and using her powers for good instead of evil and that she didn’t want to be some big pack leader or queen, she just wanted to go home.

I was just getting bored towards the end and there were more questions than answers by the time I finished this book.

I wanted to read this book because I wanted to read more from authors that I've enjoyed in the past. I loved Marissa’s Cinder series and when I saw she was writing a young adult romance book, I was intrigued with how it would go. I didn’t enjoy the first book in this duet and the second one wasn’t much better.

This book is based on Jude, and he is determined to fly under the radar. He just wants to draw his comics, host regular D&D nights with his friends, work at his parents’ vinyl record store and escape high school as unscathed as possible. That is, until the night he comes across a mysterious twenty-sided dice and finds himself inexplicably gifted with a bout of supernatural good luck. Suddenly, everything Jude has ever wanted is within reach. His first art submission is accepted to his favourite fanzine. He helps his friend’s song become a finalist in a songwriting competition. And he’s the 100th caller to a local radio contest, winning him a pair of coveted concert tickets, which he uses to ask out the popular girl he’s been crushing on. For a few blissful weeks, he feels invincible. But when he loses the magic dice at a local music festival, his luck takes a turn for the worse. He struggles to reclaim his good fortune while fighting off long-buried feelings for his best friend – who is definitely not the girl he’s supposed to be in love with. Can Jude risk stepping into the spotlight long enough to win the true girl of his dreams? Or is he doomed to be unlucky in love forever?

One of the main issues I had with this book is that I didn’t like the supernatural aspect of it or the whole luck with the dice thing. Like at all. Unlike Prudence, I was rooting for Jude, but I would have just loved like modern vibes, Jude gets a makeover and then realise who he liked and that he was his best friend. I was just hoping he would realise that he liked Ari way sooner than he did, he realise he liked Ari once someone else was interested in her. That was what was driving me nuts. I felt so badly for Jude because he was like a second dad and the second he was interested in something else or someone else, everyone had to get involved.

I liked Ari and I liked that she wasn’t going to jump in just because Jude was finally talking to his crush. She was sticking to her self-worth of if he doesn’t want her, then fine, she will move on. I loved the D&D nights and how Maya was all for being herself around Jude and then actually stood up for him, it reminded of an older version of the movie Wonder and that the cliche actually sucks.

I liked seeing Jude grow and getting confident about what he wants and doesn’t care if he gets rejected. I would love a book about Ezra, I feel like he has a bit of trauma and he is using the whole class clown thing, but there is definitely more there.

This book was gifted to me by my brother for my birthday and this series has been on my TBR for so long that I decided to just jump right in. I liked the idea of this book, and I never thought I would be reading a re-telling of the Lion King with smut in.

This book has two points of view. The first is Prince Tristan Faasa and he was never destined for the throne. That was always his brother, Michael. The same brother responsible for both Tristan’s tormented childhood and the scar that marks his face. When their father dies, Michael is set to assume the throne, and Tristan is set to steal it. The leader of a secret rebellion, Tristan will stop at nothing to end his brother’s reign. But when Michael’s new betrothed, Lady Sara Beatreaux arrives, Tristan finds himself in the middle of a new kind of war. The king that begs the question of what’s more important, the crown or the woman about to wear it. The second point of view is Lady Sara Beatreaux and she has one plan. Marry the King and eradicate the Faasa line, even at the risk of her own peril. But she never expects the Scarred Prince. He's dangerous. Forbidden. And one of the men she’s been sent to kill. But the line between hatred and passion has never seemed so thin, and as secrets come to light, Sara grows unsure of whom she can trust – torn between vengeance and the villain she was never supposed to love.

I usually struggle with retelling, but I managed to get into this one pretty quickly. Should I have enjoyed it as much as I did? Definitely not, but it was very addictive. I was rooting for Tristan from day one, he reminds me of Damon, fighting for his brother’s girl. Only his brother’s girl isn’t his brother’s girl. Again, red flags in books aren’t appropriate for real life. I love this toxic relationship and how I should have been rooting for Tristan, but I just couldn’t help it. But if it was real life, I would have been telling Sara to run for the hills. The storyline was easy, and it was a quick read. The main plot twist was not what I was expecting and dual POV makes a romance book even better. I loved Simon and I'm so glad we got to see him all grown up and covered in tattoos, I'm so glad they kept with tattoos and didn’t change it.

I would have liked for Michael to pay for his actions, the main conflict happened all too soon and then Michael got a swift death. For the amount of suffering, he caused Tristan, Sara and the town I would have loved more of a trial and to see the rebellion and for everyone to show how bad he really is. I would have liked more background on Sara’s father and what he wanted to do, and I would have loved for him to have been secretly alive, that would have been gobsmacking.

I still couldn’t believe I read a smut based on the lion king. I cannot wait for the next book in the series, though I struggled with the Wizard of Oz as a film.

I wanted to read this book as before this series, I had never read any of Sarah J. Maas’s work and I was so excited and interested to see what the hype was about. I was kindly gifted this series and A Court of Thorns and Roses by my parents. So, I thought I would start at the beginning. I’ve been really enjoying this series and this final book on the series has had me on edge since the second book. This book and journey were so worth it.

This book is about Aelin, and she has risked everything to save her people, but at a tremendous cost. She is locked with an iron coffin by the Queen of the Fae, Aelin must draw upon her fiery will as she endures month of torture. Aware that yielding to Maeve will doom those she loves keeps her from breaking, though her resolve begins to unravel with each passing day. With Aelin captured, Aedion and Lysandra remain the last line of defence to protect Terrasen from utter destruction. Yet they soon realize that the many allies they’ve gathered to battle Erawan’s hordes might not be enough to save them. Scattered across the continent and racing against time, Chaol, Manon and Dorian are forced to forget their own paths to meet their fates. Hanging in the balance is any hope of salvation and a better world. And across the sea, his companions unwavering besides him, Rowan hunts to fund his captured wife and queen before she is lost to him forever. As the threads of fate weave together at last, all must fight, if they are to have a chance at the future.

Okay, this book – THIS BOOK. I didn’t want it to end. I love the characters; I loved the storyline and the action. I still love Aelin, I love how strong and how much of a leader she became. I just wanted her to succeed so much and the fact that she had becoming so successful made me want to cry. I love the multiple POVs during this book and it made the storyline more interesting. I wanted the whole series from Rowan’s point of view. I just love that Rowan’s like you’re not going to die, and we will do whatever you want besides sacrificing yourself. I love how Dorian grew up so much during this, compared to the first book, it was like watching a TV from series 1 after you’ve just finished the newest series and being like “oh, they look like a baby.” My favourite chapters were the reunions between our characters. Especially with Yrene and Aelin that didn’t know they were going to reunite and then they did and recognizes each other instantly. Then Aelin and Dorian reunited and then Aelin and Aedion. I loved all of the reunions before the massive battle.

I usually struggle with war books because usually there is a lot of build-ups and a lot of camping and talk and no action. But this book even with the build-up and the camping, something was always being discovered, someone was always wanting to help, someone was willing to sacrifice themselves that I was so stressed for all the characters until the end of the book.

I wanted this book to go on forever and forever. I wanted to see Aelin take court and to do it with power. I wanted to see Yrene and Chaol becoming parents and having a whole bundle of children and Chaol reuniting with his mother. I wanted to see Aelin and Rowan becoming parents and having a bundle of children as well. I wanted to see Aedion and Lysandra’s wedding and to see if Dorian and Manon ever got engaged or married. I just wanted another book where they all get a happy ending with no conflict whatsoever.

This is my book club’s choice for September. I hadn’t heard anything about this book before it was the choice for September, I went into this book completely blind. I normally don’t go for these sorts of books, so I was excited and nervous to dive right in.

This book has three points of view, from three different woman in three different centuries. The first one is Kate, and she is in 2019 in London, she is abandoning everything for Cumbria and the Weyward Cottage that she inherited from her great-aunt. There, a secret lurks in the bones of the house, hidden ever since the witch-hunts of the 17th century. The second point of view is Violet, and she is in 1942, she is more interested in collecting insects and climbing trees than in becoming a proper young lady. Until a chain of shocking events changes her life forever. The last point of view is Altha, and she is in 1619, she is on trial for witchcraft, accused of killing a local man. Known for her uncanny connection with nature and animals, she is a threat that must be eliminated. But the Weyward women belong to the wild. And they cannot be tamed. Weyward is an enthralling novel of female resilience and the transformative power of the natural world.

I liked the aspect that all the women are somehow linked like between generations and that the history and the stories were getting past down. I liked the epilogue as well and would have preferred for the whole book to be like the epilogue. I liked that Altha and Violet was too ahead of their times like if they were born in this generation, they would survive. Each of the three women had each of their own personalities, it didn’t feel like one character wasn’t as important as the other. The plot was an interesting concept, and I liked how the story was divided by three and from the different point of views rather than a diary or something like that.

I would have loved for this to be like spiritually linked, like ghost messages and things between the three girls. Besides the females in the books, everyone else was horrible. The men in this book really deserved hell besides Graham, though he took a while to grow on me, but every single of these men was horrible and just made me so angry. It sort of shows how we haven’t moved on as a society – with Altha, it was about weird women being accused of witchcraft, with Violet, it was about the fact that she got raped and must marry her rapist because it had to be proper otherwise she had a child out of wedlock. Then Kate was in an abusing relationship and people were still judging her for having a child without being married like this was 2019 surely people need to get over it.

I kept going back and forth between 4 and 3 stars on this one but as I wrote this review, I realize it was more of 3 stars than 4 stars, but I might dip into Emilia’s work again but not any time soon.

I have enjoyed some of Casey’s work so was wanting to read some more. This seemed to have got a lot of love when it first came out and on Instagram, however, I was bored.

This book is based on Chloe Green, and she is so close to winning. After her mums moved her from SoCal to Alabama for high school, she spent the past four years dodging gossipy classmates and the puritanical administration of Willowgrove Christian Academy. The thing that’s kept her winning valedictorian. Her only prom queen Shara Wheeler, the principal’s perfect daughter. But a month before graduation, Shara kisses Chloe and then vanishes. On a furious hunt for answers, Chloe discovers she’s not the only one Shara kissed. There's so Smith, Shara’s longtime quarterback boyfriend, and Rory, Shara’s bad boy neighbour with a crush. The three have nothing in common except Shara and the annoyingly cryptic notes she left behind, but together they must untangle Shara’s trail of clues and find her. It'll be worth it, if Chloe can drag Shara back before graduation to beat her fair and square. Thrown into an unlikely alliance, chasing a ghost through parties, break-ins, puzzles, and secrets revealed on monogrammed stationery, Chloe starts to suspect there might be more to this small town than she thought.

I always start with what I liked. The take down of the small-time vibes and the church, the way that high school is the time for figuring yourself out and having a school and town trying to stop that just isn’t worth it. I love the fact that it was Chloe Green’s mums that started the whole thing 30 years ago because one of them dyed her hair blue, like so help us if you dye your hair a different colour. I liked that the friendship group of like the jock, the drama freak, the artist – sort of like the Breakfast Club, I liked that the found family and how they all agreed to stick together no matter one, even if it ruined their own graduation.

Finding Shara took way too long, and the love triangle or square just drove me a bit nuts. Like this could have been resolved way earlier. I would have preferred for this to be a story about Shara rebelling against her dad and the small town and people coming out to help and to be themselves. I ended up rooting for them just before ended, but both Shara and Chloe were driving me nuts. Chloe was a shitty friend with a crush that she didn’t want to admit, and Shara had other ways of rebelling without causing a massive headache just before they left high school again all because she had a crush.

I think I was expecting more because the title had nothing to do with a mystery or something, just thought it was going to be like Heartstopper with some people struggling with their sexuality and instead it was like a small-town mystery about the IT and the outcast being the outcast.

I wanted to read this book because I enjoyed the Wilmot Sisters series and enjoyed the first book in the Bergman Brothers series. I enjoyed this book but the third act breakup and the miscommunication trope ruin this for me.

This book has two points of view. The first is Ren Bergman and from the moment he met her, he knew Frankie Zeferino was someone worth waiting for. Deadpan delivery, secret heart of hold, and a rare one-dimpled smile that makes his knees weak, Frankie has been forbidden since the day they became coworkers, meaning waiting has been the name of the game – besides, hockey, that is. He is a player on the team, she’s on staff, and as long as they work together, dating is off-limits. But patience has always been her virtue. Frankie won’t be here forever – she's heading for bigger, better things. Ren just hope that when she leaves the team and he tells her how she feels, she won’t want to leave Ren behind, too. The second point of view is Frankie Zeferino, and she has had a problem at work since the day Ren Bergman joined the team: a six-foot three hunk of happy with a sunshine smile. She is a grumbly grump, and his ridiculously good nature drives Frankie nuts, but even she can’t entirely ignore the hot ginger with the icy eyes, the perfect playoff beard, and a body built for sin that he’s annoyingly modest about. Before Frankie got wise, she would have tripped over herself to get a guy like Ren, but with her diagnosis, she’s learned what she is to most people in her life – a problem, not a person. Now, opening her heart to anyone, no matter how sweet, is the last thing she’s prepared to do.

I enjoyed the enjoy and I still love this family. I was sort of hoping that Frankie’s cold heart would melt, and it sort of did, but she took a while to grow on me. Ren, I instantly adored, the second he enters the book. We had met him previously and I was so excited to see him again. Again, I love the representative in the book. The representation with chronic illnesses and autism especially with how Ziggy just felt lost and alone, but Frankie knew what she needed. I really enjoyed the introduction to the brothers and the family. I loved the parents; I love that they are used to being in a house with 5 boys and 2 girls that they are like right enough or I'll kick you out. I cannot wait to see more of them. I love that Aiden went to Ren to say he was in the doghouse because he was the only brother that wouldn’t kick the shit out of him and Ryder, and the others would have.

The thing that stopped it being a five-star read for me was the third act conflict that got resolved in the next chapter. Like I understand that Frankie was frustrated for being ill and Ren giving up things for Frankie and she didn’t want that, but Ren was genuinely so worried for her and caught her like did she really expect him to leave her side? Then it was all resolved by her going to therapy like it was just brushed over, like after a few weeks of talking to my therapist, I wanted the conversations with the therapist in great detail, not just brushed over. Then it was resolved within a chapter from Frankie like sorry, k cool and missed you and that’s it. All over and happy ever after. I just wanted more. How did the team react when they got together? Do they still go to team function together? How did Frankie get on at Law School?

Just from the little glimpses that we got of these brothers; I cannot wait to see more of them. I am so glad that this has been planned that every single family member to be happy especially Ziggy. I adored her and wanted her to be happy with whatever she does.

I wanted to read this book because I’m always up for discovering new authors, whilst browsing in Waterstones, this book caught my eye due to how pretty the cover was. I’m so glad that I did pick this book mainly for the cover because I fell in love with this book.

All books, no matter their binding, will fall to dust. The stories they carry may last longer. They might outlive the paper, the library, even the language in which they were first written. But the greatest story can reach the stars. The first point of view is Evar, and he has lived his entire life trapped within a vast library, that is older than empires and larger than cities. The second point of view is Livira and she has spent her life in a tiny settlement out on the Dust where no goes and nightmares stalk. The world has never noticed them. That is all about to change.

The way that I personally review a fantasy book is how easy it is to get into the book and how the world building is and if I get so confused that I lose the plot of the story during the book. I didn’t get confused once. I was hooked from page one. Like literally page one. This is one of the books where I wanted to dive headfirst into the book and into this world. Mark Lawrence’s writing in his book is beautiful, it was like one minute I started the book and the next it was over, and I didn’t want it to be. I love the love story between our two MCs, I think it was so adorable and innocent and with the year jumped, you were breaking my heart, and I was rooting for them to be reunited. The story was so unique, and it was so interesting, I just stay in that world forever. But both characters have their own character development and their own story within the book with their own problems and their own family and friends.

The twists and turns had me audible gasping and just wanting more. This book was 560 pages and if it was 1000 pages, I think I would still want more – I did want more, I pre-ordered the second one almost instantly. The ending had me on the edge of my seat and all I wanted was the answers we had been looking for, we thought we found them earlier, but then we didn’t, and it was just back and forth.

It’s one of those books where if I say one thing specific like, even though I loved it, it could spoil the whole thing. But I would recommend this book to anyone especially people who like fantasy and science fiction and books about books.

I wanted to read this book because I have heard so many good things about this series within the book community. I am always looking for new authors and a new series to read. This book was hot, sexy, adorable and I just wanted it to be like 700 pages and it still probably wouldn’t be enough.

The book has two points. The first is Jonae Martin and she has just moved to Seattle, and she is ready to start her own business even if it goes against her own family’s wishes. Jonae doesn’t trust anyone and is determined to make it on her own. But something changed when she met Izekiel and now, she feels like something is changing between them. The second point of view is Izekiel Holloway, and he was content with his career, the people in his life and all that came with it. Until he met Jonae. One look at Jonae Martin and nothing seemed right anymore. In fact, everything seemed wrong. What he once thought was a solid foundation now had one too many cracks to ignore. And ignore it, he would not. But can he break down his own barriers to get the woman he is obsessed with?

The way that this series was advertised to me was The Billionaire Brothers series by Lauren Asher but it’s black love stories and it was. It was beautifully written. Even though it was a short book, it was packed with so much – brotherly love, a friendship group who have all got their own issues but are there for everyone, controlling parents, autism rep that was beautifully written and I just wanted to hug the crap out of Izekiel. I love that Jonae and Izekiel were so heartbreakingly real with each other and they did want to bear their souls to each other and the trust was there to do that. Izekiel spoke about his mother and his autism and how it affected him, and Jonae spoke about the pressures she was under from her mother and the acceptance from her father and the conversation regarding her engaged and abortion. I love that it was sort of insta-love though they met in the first book. I loved Izekiel as well, he was just adorable and sexy and knows how to treat a woman that I would like a guy like Izekiel please.

There were no weaknesses in this book. I wanted this book to be longer, some people may like that it’s only 150 pages, but I wanted 1500 pages, and I'd still want more. I cannot wait to read more of this series and more from these brothers. I hope we see more of Jonae’s twin sister and that she breaks off her awful engagement and gets with the other brothers because I could sense the chemistry there from the few chapters, we got of them.
