Seeds of Eden by AP Watson

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Any book that talks about the concept of heaven and hell, or has an interpretive twist on the Bible is going to pique my interest. I’m like this about anything that is religious but also about anything mythological. Lately,…

Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake

The premise of this novel immediately caught my eye and I knew right away that I had to read this novel. A fantasy story for teens that is actually really dark???? Definitely up my alley! Every queen of the island of Fennbirn gives birth to a set of triplets – three queens, all who have…

The Swan Riders by Erin Bow – Prisoners of Peace #2

I remember reading The Scorpion Rules and absolutely loving the novel, with is AIs and hostage situation. I had also liked the fact that this novel had been presented as a standalone. 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…

The NEAR by L.A Jones

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. When I was really little, say about 4 or 5 years old, I learned about the Sun and how important it is for our planet’s existence. And I remember someone telling me that one day the Sun would die…

Good as Gone by Amy Gentry

True to my word, I did not try to compare this novel to Gone Girl, even though the title gave me the opportunity to do so; all the author needed to do was add the word “girl” to the end of her title (okay, not a funny joke, but it made me laugh in my head)!…

One More Run by Matthew S. Cox

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Kevin is tired of being a Driver, who has to do all sorts of shady jobs for a mere handful of coins. He longs to own his own Roadhouse, and is counting how many runs it will take until…

While You Were Sleeping by Kathryn Croft

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I wish people would stop comparing every psychological thriller to Gone Girl. I am getting quite tired of hearing of so many novels being “perfect for fans of Gone Girl” and I’m saying this because it is unfair to the author…

Vinegar Girl by Anne Tyler

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…
