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
Lost Boy by Christina Henry
I'm never going to see Peter Pan the same way again after this book, that's for sure. Christina Henry pulled the Disney tale apart to show that Peter Pan isn't just childish, but how selfish he is when he takes boys away to Neverland and why. It's a whole new level of creepy. That said:… Continue reading Lost Boy by Christina Henry
Lore by Alexandra Bracken
I was completely blown away by this book. Its flawless execution, complex plot and characters, and its explosive ending just knocked me sideways. This standalone novel tells the story of how every seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals, hunted… Continue reading Lore by Alexandra Bracken
Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas
I have no idea what I just read. Strange doesn’t even begin to cover it. The only think positive is the style of writing because the story itself... I don’t even know how to describe it. I have no idea what happened in this book. The story has no plot, all the questions about the… Continue reading Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas
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

Home Before Dark by Riley Sager
One of my favorite books this year first here! The perfect modern thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat from page one. This is the book for all the fans of a good haunted house story, full of plot twists and unexpected turns. Twenty-five years ago, Maggie Holt moved to Baneberry Hall… Continue reading Home Before Dark by Riley Sager
Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
Two words: Holy sh*t. I can’t even... Wow. This book is perfection itself. This is a refreshing, brilliantly built world around Arthurian legends, with details in all the right places. The creatively and the way the author put it to words, is incredible. In summary, Legendborn follows the story of Bree, a high school student… Continue reading Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
