The Secret History by Donna Tartt
I honestly don’t understand the hype with this book. For me it was overhyped, filled with details and moments that just disconnected me completely from the plot. I grew bothered at some parts and had to force myself to finish. The characters are complex but mostly whiny, contradictory and very much lost in life, something… Continue reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt

I'm ashamed to say that this is the first novel of Anthony Horowitz I've read so far, but I'm also glad I picked this one to begin.

Susan Ryeland is the editor and copywriter of… Continue reading Magpie Murders (Susan Ryeland #1) by Anthony Horowitz
Legendary (Caraval #2) by Stephanie Garber
I can’t begin to describe how much I love this collection. Stephanie Garber created such a magical and unique world, I don’t want get out of it.

The Ravens (The Ravens #1) by Kass Morgan
It's been a long while that I've read a book focused on witches, but boy was this one worth the wait! I absolutely devoured this book. It's action-packed, witchy and bitchy fantasy novel that brought together sorority life and magic perfectly. The idea of having a witch coven disguised as an university sorority: absolutely brilliant!… Continue reading The Ravens (The Ravens #1) by Kass Morgan
A Necessary Murder (Heloise Chancey Mysteries #2) by M.J. Tjia
This is a mix between Hercule Poirot and Miss Fisher with exotic roots, in England. Heloise Chancey, the female protagonist, is a high class courtesan and detective, with ascendants from Malaysia, Indonesia and Burma. The plot was involving, complex and full of twists, and it's definitely a dark sort of novel. The murders are grisly… Continue reading A Necessary Murder (Heloise Chancey Mysteries #2) by M.J. Tjia
Caraval (Caraval #1) by Stephanie Garber
Such a beautiful and intense book! Loved it! The circus setting is probably one of my favourites in fantasy novels, and Stephanie Garber took things to the next level with Caraval, a place that mixes reality and magic. Really enjoyed the main characters and their interactions, but also how the plot makes it almost impossible… Continue reading Caraval (Caraval #1) by Stephanie Garber
