4.5 Stars Thank you to Edelweiss and the publisher, Harper Collins Teen for and eARC of this book. Serpent & Dove was a really enjoyable read. Witches, witch hunters, witty banter, and a really interesting magic system that felt really fresh and unique? That ticks so many boxes for me! The plot was fun, a… Continue reading Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin – Review

Reading Wrap Up – August 2019
This is my August wrap up! I started and finished 6 books this month, 4 of them on my kindle. Every month I say I'm going to read more physical books and then I never do because I have so many books I haven't read on my kindle yet! I also have a few eARCs… Continue reading Reading Wrap Up – August 2019
A Midnight Clear – Review
4 Stars Thank you to NetGalley and Black Spot Books for an eARC. ‘A Midnight Clear’ is releaseod on 5th November 2019. I loved this eclectic mix of darkly unsettling seasonal stories! I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from each of them, due to the fact that as with most short story collections, they… Continue reading A Midnight Clear – Review
Reading Wrap Up – July 2019
This is my July wrap-up which I am posting here a couple of days late (but put on Instagram a little early!) due to being at Ozora Festival for a bit over a week! This month I mainly read on my kindle again, but I also listened to parts of the Nevernight and Godsgrave audiobooks… Continue reading Reading Wrap Up – July 2019
The Memory Thief by Lauren Mansy- Review
3 Stars Thank you to Edelweiss and the publisher for an eArc. The premise of this book isn’t one I have really seen before. Though I have seen something similar before, this was done in a captivating and fresh new way that really caught my attention. I love the ideas of memory as currency, and… Continue reading The Memory Thief by Lauren Mansy- Review
The Beholder by Anna Bright – Review
3.5 Stars ‘The Beholder’ was a book I was really intrigued and excited about. Initially I saw mention of it being an Odyssey retelling but that was thankfully quickly taken out of the synopsis, as it is nothing like the Odyssey. The premise was interesting, and was a concept I hadn’t seen before. Though it… Continue reading The Beholder by Anna Bright – Review
Dream Keeper by Amber R. Duell – Review
2 Stars - DNF @ 52% Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC of this book. The premise of Dream Keeper was fantastic. I love anything to do with the concept of dreams, Sandman and Nightmares. I wrote part of my dissertation of Hoffmann’s ‘Der Sandmann’, have (badly) written and read so… Continue reading Dream Keeper by Amber R. Duell – Review
A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer – Review
5 Stars Retellings of classic fairy tales with a new spin on them are some of my favourite things. So obviously I was extremely excited to read ‘A Curse So Dark & Lonely’. Beauty and the Beast was my joint favourite Disney film (along with Hercules) as a child, and Robin McKinley’s ‘Beauty’ is my… Continue reading A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer – Review
Reading Wrap Up – June 2019
I finished six books this month and most of them were on my kindle! I had two ARCs, one from Netgalley and one from Edelweiss. The books I chose this month mostly seemed to be in the same sort of vein story-wise in that they were based on mythology, stories or retellings. It was completely… Continue reading Reading Wrap Up – June 2019
The Twisted Tree by Rachel Burge – Review
4 Stars ‘The Twisted Tree’ had been on my to-read list since it came out, and I bought it on Kindle right away. It’s the kind of book that caught my interest right away - Norse Mythology with a hint of horror is definitely my thing. I was really excited about this one, and after… Continue reading The Twisted Tree by Rachel Burge – Review
