I don’t really want to say a lot about this book, for 2 reasons. Reason one is to keep potential readers in the dark about what this entire book is. I feel like it’s one of those reads where you want to go in blind, it definitely made it more enjoyable for me going into …
The Hummingbird’s Cage by Tamara Dietrich
”You used to be only two colors. Maybe three, on good days,” Laurel said, as if she were drawing me in crayon. “Now you’re all of them.” Love how this got straight into the story, author didn’t bother feeding us extra details we didn’t need, which was great! The short chapters definitely make this feel …

Local Girl Missing by Claire Douglas
DNF at 31% I can't. I just... I just can't. Reasons? 1. All the characters are very immature. Frankie just looooves talking and thinking about boys, especially Daniel, and would rather keep her reputation than do everything that she can to work out if her best friend was murdered. She’s also really passive aggressive, especially when she’s …
Watching Edie by Camilla Way
TRIGGER WARNING FOR THIS NOVEL. "... they do remain a part of us, those people who have hurt us very deeply, or who we have hurt, never letting us go, not entirely." This is the tale of a fractured friendship between two young ladies from broken families. Edie is popular and beautiful, Heather is awkward …
The Last One by Alexandra Oliva
”If I were to say the words, would the electricity flicker on? Would the front doors slide open? Would Emery stride in and pat me on the back, tell me I made a noble effort… Would a car be waiting outside? Or would nothing happen at all? The thought pinches. I cannot give up.” Zoo …
Zodiac by Sam Wilson
"How much worse would the world be if everyone was colour-coded? If people thought they could tell someone's essence at a glance, and discrimination became purely thoughtless? … Maybe people wouldn't spend so much time making sure they acted, sounded and thought the same as their neighbours, if they weren't terrified of being mistaken for …
Mammoth by Douglas Perry
Not quite what I was expecting, which I think is the general feel judging by others reviews. Be warned, this isn’t a creepy paranormal, alien type of thing. I don’t think that’s a spoiler either, I wouldn’t want you to pick this up and be greatly disappointed. If you love character focused novels then this …
In a Dark Dark Wood by Ruth Ware
DNF at 80% I was so ready to love this book! I'd been wanting it forever! So when I finally got my hands on it I got straight to it and starting reading, but oh dear god, how wrong I was to be excited about this. Now I'm not saying this is a badly written book, or …
Behind Closed Doors by b. A. Paris
”’Fear,’ he whispered. ‘There is nothing quite like it. I love how it looks, I love how it feels, I love how it smells. And I especially love the sound of it.’ I felt his tongue on my cheek. ‘I even love the taste of it.’” Welcome to Jack and Grace's perfect life and perfect …
The Night Stalker by Robert Bryndza
”The black-clad figure ran lightly, streaking through the darkness, feet barely making a sound on the narrow dirt path, ducking and twisting gracefully to avoid contact with the dense surrounding trees and bushes. It was as if the shadow were sweeping silently over the leaves." Well, well, well, another excellent book from the Erika Foster …
