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. I had previously read Black Rabbit Hall by this author but I hadn’t liked it as much as I had wanted to. The atmosphere was great but the story just didn’t work for me. However, I am always willing to give…
I was promised a thriller. This novel did not deliver. When Nora decides to visit her sister in the countryside, she is looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend. Instead, she walks into a murder scene – with her sister as the victim. Stunned by this shocking discovery, Nora cannot move on. She takes it…
The Tempest is one of my favorite plays by Shakespeare. Something about the story and the magic always captured my interest, and I relish any chance to get back into that world. It’s one of the reasons that I love reading retellings of it, and so I was glad to hear of this one. Here…

You can tell based on my blog posts that I don’t read a lot of chick lit. I don’t have anything against the genre but I tend to always pick dystopian novels or mysteries or fantasies. Chick lit, while not being a genre that I avoid, isn’t one that I seek. However, after reading Sophie…
When it comes to science fiction novels, it is either a hit or a miss. There is no in between for me. I’m always eager to get my hands on a sci-fi novel but my expectations are always very high. I want a story that is unique and that will excite me in a way…
I like science fiction, but it has been a while since I’ve read anything in this genre. I’ve also never heard of Connie Willis, who is apparently quite well known in the science fiction world. This novel has been getting a lot of hype so I decided to check it out! In the not-so-distant future,…
There are a few books that capture your interest right away just with their cover and title. That was my experience with this novel. Without even having read the synopsis, I knew I wanted to read this novel. When I received the ARC of it, I was ecstatic and jumped right in without reading the…
