They say that if a butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazonian rainforest, it can change the weather half a world away. Chaos theory... All I know is today is that you can think that what you’ve done is only the flap of a butterfly wing, when it’s really a thunderclap. And both can result …
Savage Reckoning by C. Hoyt Caldwell
With a badge pinned to her chest, she didn’t give a shit what the town or God thought of her. She was the law. I was not expecting to love this as much as I do! Honestly, I started the first few pages and thought ”oh God, this is going to be bad,” but I persevered because …
The Ploughmen by Kim Zupan
Darling - come alone to the shed. I’ve found it so hard to write a review for this book because it was such a moving, descriptive novel. It was sort of one of those reads that I loved for no particular reason, it was just a gorgeous book at the right time. This book was …
The Loving Husband by Cristobel Kent
This has a very samey story line, how many books have you read where a husband has a secret second life? I did enjoy this for a good while but it got to the point where the subjects of the novel got to me in a negative way and I found it really hard to …
The Night Parade by Ronald Malfi
Was this how the world was to end? Not with a bang and not even with a whimper, but with the slow deterioration of everything good and beautiful and kind? To begin with, this book had me completely hooked, it was a really intriguing plot and I was looking forward to finding out the reason …
The Girl with all the Gifts M. R. Carey
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 …
