Aurora Burning by Amy Kaufman & Jay Kristoff | Spoilery Book Review

June 29, 2020

Hai Beautiful! This one fell slightly short… I’m not gonna lie, I will purchase and read anything written by Amie or Jay either individually or as a collaborative duo. So even though Aurora Rising, didn’t live up to my expectations set by the Illuminae Files, there was something unique and carefree to the story that I loved it all the same. Blurb: Our heroes are back… kind of. From the bestselling co-authors of the Illuminae Files comes the second book in […]

SWORD IN THE STARS by Amy Rose Capetta and Cory McCarthy Spoiler Free Book Review 2020 Header - SWORD IN THE STARS by Amy Rose Capetta & Cory McCarthy | Spoiler-Free Book Review

Hai Beautiful! The stunning sequel to my favourite book of all-time! Aghfkdgildh!!! I don’t know what to say. The equal that I have waited almost an entire year for has finally reached me and it is the best thing to ever have been created. I may say things like this occasionally about some books but this one. This one is the best in every single way it can be, but most importantly, it retold a classic story the right way and ended […]

April 27, 2020April 28, 2020

Hai Beautiful! My poor heart can’t take this anymore! This book equal parts invokes a stress response within my body and brings me great joy whenever I think about it. I am so so in love with Cassandra Clare’s writing and the fact that it can ignite all of these emotions and passions within me at the thought of her work is just testament to how brilliant she is at her craft. Blurb: Welcome to Edwardian London, a time of […]

Hollow City (Graphic Novel) by Ransom Riggs | Spoiler-Free Book Review

April 20, 2020

Hai Cuties! Chatting about my two favourite things! Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and anything Shadowhunters (as you may know), are two of my favourite series. Both series have been illustrated by the wonderfully talented Cassandra Jean. I’m not truly sure what it is about her art – could be it was the fact that she was the first art of the Shadowhunters I saw and thus the first to bring my favourite characters to life – but I am absolutely […]

Hai Beautiful! Life is worth it. I’m very excited to be here chatting about this particular novel with you today! Blurb: In case you’re wondering, this is not a love story. My name is Tori Spring.

Ghosts of The Shadow Market by Cassandra Clare | Spoiler Free Book Review

March 24, 2020

Hai Beautiful Hoomans! Did I finish this book or did it finish me? I didn’t think the ending of this novel would hit me as it did. All I’m saying is that I am so glad the next series goes back in time because I am far too fragile to deal with my faves being in pain again. Goodreads Blurb: The Shadow Market is a meeting point for faeries, werewolves, warlocks and vampires. There the Downworlders buy and sell magical […]
