Enchanting and glamorous - nobody can resist the allure of Evelyn Hugo! 

I picked up this novel after I named Daisy Jones and The Six as my favorite book read in 2018 and Taylor Jenkins Reid did not disappoint. I am always in awe of Reid's ability to write stories that make fictional people and stories so damn realistic. Just like what I found with Daisy, Evelyn was so real and human I kept finding myself believing that she was a real celebrity.

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee Book Review

An adventurous tale with a somewhat unlikeable main character.

The story set in the 1700s follows British lord Henry 'Monty' Montague as he embarks on a great European Tour with his best friend Percy. Along the way the pair find themselves chased around by thugs, the royal guard and Monty standing naked in the middle of an aristocratic party in Paris?!

No Rest for the Wicked Book Review

Enjoyable introduction to the author, but the heroine could use some work.

The story follows Kaderin, a Valkyrie assassin who hunts vampires to the end of the Earth to avenge her sisters' tragic deaths. She is known as one of the coldest and cruelest warriors in the world of Lore (folklore).

The New Hunger by Isaac Marion Book Review

Well written but very little actual plot.

This story was well written and I really enjoy Marion's writing style. However, nothing much happens in this story.

There isn't really a plot. The characters are just wandering around aimlessly. It does lead up to the start of Warm Bodies (at the stadium). But good writing can only do so much for a story - if there is no plot then the story doesn't move forward or build up to anything bigger.

Even better than the first book, the Raven Cycle rules!

Maggie has done it again! I have to say I might like this book even more than the first one. Her stories and characters just keep on getting better and better.

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater Book Review

Genuinely one of the best YA books of all time!

I first read this book back in March of 2018 and the first time around I thought the book was good but it didn't thrill me (I gave it a 4/5 stars though). So I put off reading the second book in the series until almost a year later in March 2019.
