I can't write books so I review them instead
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. When I read Rebel of the Sands, I had really liked the concept of the book, and thought it had been well-written but had a few flaws. I was really happy that NetGalley and the publishers granted my wish and…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I’m always in search for the next great thing in horror. You’d be surprised how hard it is to find good horror stories these days. I know Stephen King is the King of Horror but for some reason, I’ve…
I received this novel from NetGalley as an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. I don’t read short stories. I avoid short story collections.

So imagine my surprise, when I recently discovered that the author had published a sequel this year! Naturally, that meant I had to reread The…
When I was 12 years old, manga was all the rage. I grew up in a neighbourhood where there were many East Asian children, so I was heavily influenced by their culture and what was popular with them. At first, reading manga was just a way to fit in but very quickly, I found myself…

This novel is part of the Hogarth Shakespeare project, where bestselling novelists take one of Shakespeare’s works and retell it in their own way. I recently read Hag-Seed by Margaret Atwood (see link here: https://veereading.wordpress.com/2017/01/05/hag-seed-by-margaret-atwood) and was floored by the retold version. This made me more eager to get into this Hogarth Shakespeare project and read other…
