I Kissed Shara Wheeler short review

 


I saw this book making the rounds last year after it came out but it first caught my eye when I saw @shesreading01 on Instagram read and recommend it ages ago, but it takes me a while to get to the books on my Kindle. Once I started this I could not put it down and just devoured it, also it was perfect for reading in the Alice Oseman signing queue at the Edinburgh Book Festival. 

I kissed Shara Wheeler follows Chloe Green who is trying to find out where her classmate, Shara Wheeler, after she kissed her out of the blue and then disappeared after prom. She teamed up with Shara's boyfriend and her neighbour to follow the clues she's left behind. 

I was really invested in where this book was going and what had happened to Shara. I really enjoy mystery/thriller books but I liked how for a change (mainly in my reading) this one was more of a contemporary story without a murder going on and no crime. It was intriguing and had me desperate to know what happened, as well as feeling like a great combination of two of my favourite genres. 

I loved Chloe as a character but I could see what was going to happen with her friends from very early on. I also really loved Smith and Rory and how they developed over the course of the book to learn who they truly were. While these characters were some of my favourites I did love all of them and it was great to how they all turned out in the end (iykyk). 

Overall this was a great book that had me hooked and surprised me with just how much I loved it. I highly recommend and I would love to see what YA Casey McQuiston is going to release next.

The Match book review

  Back in April I was recommended my first Sarah Adams book and really enjoyed it however it wasn’t my favourite type of romance book so when I saw this one had been rereleased and was 99p on Kindle I knew that I needed to read it.  The Match follows Evie who works for a company that trains service dogs to help people with all sorts of disabilities after her life was changed when she got a service dog to help with her epilepsy and when she meets Jacob when trying to convince him how much a service dog would help his daughter she begins to fall for him and his small family.  This was such a light brilliant romance that I just wanted to read and continue to be immersed in the story for as long as I could. I loved all of our major characters particularly Evie, Jacob and Sam (Jacob's daughter). Sam just added the best things to the story and the romance going on between Evie and Jacob. She was also a brilliant character on her own that you really felt for and you just underst...

Daughter of the Pirate King book review

  I was expecting to enjoy this book but nowhere near as much as I did and I really wished I could have given it five stars but it was just slightly off of the mark.  Daughter of the Pirate King is the first book in a duology which follows Alosa who is the well-trained seventeen year old pirate daughter of the Pirate King himself, on a mission to find part of an ancient secret map on an enemy pirates ship.  This is possibly the first pirate fantasy I’ve ever read, but I loved it and need to read more because there were so many fantastic elements in it that I want to read more. I also now want to read all of Tricia Levenseller’s backlist because of how stunning this book was and I want to see more of it continued in her other books, also the UK covers are absolutely stunning and I really want to own them all! There were twists in this book I was not expecting, characters I fell in love with and moments that made me really laugh.  Alosa knew what she wanted and how to ...

The Eternal Ones book review

  I may be posting this a month after I promised I would on my bookstagram but better late than never. If you want to see more of my immediate thoughts on this conclusion to a series I have been reading for years my booksta post is here .  The Eternal Ones is the final book in the YA fantasy Deathless series by Namina Forna which follows Deka as she discovers more about the world and who she is. We follow on quickly after The Merciless Ones ended with no major plot points happening in between. As with the previous two books, there are many content warnings that come with the story, it doesn’t have any new strong ones so if you have read and been fine with the previous two you should be fine but if you are new to the series then I would recommend checking them out.  Throughout the books we continue to follow Deka’s POV which works really well for the story as we discover so much and being in Deka’s head means we are kept in the know nd see how things and discoveries unrav...
