I can't write books so I review them instead
A long long time ago, I read Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo. It was one of my first forays into YA fiction and I believe I enjoyed it. But I never got into the rest of the books in the series and even though, I would see the Grisha series and other Leigh Bardugo…
I’ve read The Housemaid by Freida McFadden and while it wasn’t the most well-written thriller I’ve read, there was just something so addictive that I couldn’t get enough of it. So of course, I was very excited to receive an ARC of this book in the hopes that it would also have me riveted. It…
BookTok got me on the hype train with a novel that promises stunning insights into Ethiopian culture and vampires. Unfortunately, this book just didn’t hit it for me. But before I get into what I didn’t like, let me speak about a few positives: In this novel, Kidan and Susenyos brilliantly execute the enemy-to-lovers trope.…
My Review: Have I had this eARC for a couple of years now? Yes. And in my defense, I was in a hiatus phase when I received it. But at least I got to it now, right? There’s something about alternating perspectives in a story that really gets me excited. The authors did a good…
My Review: This was meant to be a creepy horror story, okay? That’s what I wanted. Now … it wasn’t a complete failure in that department but it also didn’t satisfy me in the way I was hoping. This is definitely more of a character study than a plot-heavy book. We read from the perspective…
After absolutely adoring The Gilded Wolves series (which I will definitely be reviewing and linking at a later point), I was so so excited to delve into a new adult novel by this author. From the design of the cover to the mysteriously vague synopsis, it had its hooks in me. Now, I’ve finished this…
I received an eARC copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. After thoroughly enjoying When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon, I knew I wanted to read more by this author. Lo and behold – I…

Together, they must assassinate the king and stop the war. In a centuries-long war where beauty and brutality meet, their three paths…
I was drawn to this novel because of the hit new TV show Killing Eve. I saw a trailer for the show ages ago and immediately knew I wanted to watch it – it looked so cool and featured some very strong female actresses! Now … I still haven’t gotten around to watching it because ……
Thank you to Edelweiss and the publishers for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. I am such a fan of retellings of classic fairy tales and stories. I’ve read quite a few that have featured Cinderella but I’m always searching for a new take on this classic and I was really excited to…
