Twin Crowns short review

Turns out both my sisters read this book before me and didn't tell me how good it is! But I've finally read it and absolutely loved it.

I loved this book and it was fantastic. At Edinburgh Book Festival I went to the YA Book Prize event and it was really interesting to hear Katherine Webber talk about how this book came about and how her and Catherine Doyle wrote it and just included everything they love.

I love Wren and Rose as individuals, sisters and how they both develop, I have so many hopes for what will happen in book 2 with them. Rose discovered so much in this about who she is and what she wants, I'm so proud of her and can't wait to see how that continues as she begins to fight properly with Wren. I don't think Wren grew and learned as much in this book but she definitely still did and I think she might have more growth as the books continue and she's forced into these new situations without some people who have been key in her life up until this point. I also really enjoyed the romance and I look forward to seeing what directions it takes especially with Wren.

Other than this just being a fantastic book something else I really liked was the magic and the witches. It was really interesting to read about and I look forward to learning more about the different types of witches and how they can all use their powers. I think it would be really cool if one of each witch came together to fight common enemy.

This was a fantastic fantasy book that has me excited to read more and I can comnpletely understand the hype! Also book 3's cover - obssesed!! Now I need to work out what Waterstones edition to get.

The Christmas Book Club book review

I read a Sarah Morgan Christmas book during Advent last year and as soon as I heard about this book I knew I had to read it and the timings for it worked out perfectly for me to read about 15 pages a day during December until Christmas Eve when I finished it. This isn’t a romance book as such but it still has all the feels that the Christmas romance books do. The story follows four different women and has their POVs throughout, Hattie owns the inn, and Anna, Erica and Claudia meet up every year for a book club holiday. There is such a cosy feel in this book and I just loved reading it. The friendship between Anna, Erica and Claudia is so strong and I’d love to have a friendship like that, they are there for each other no matter what and each brings something different to the table. They are all going through something during the book and need each other’s support and that support really is perfect. Also by the end of the book, they have all grown as people especially when faced w...

The Off-Limits Rule book review

I discovered Sarah Adams in early 2024 after it was recommended to me on Bookstagram and while she wasn’t originally an author I was sure about, however as I read more from her I fell in love with her books and she definitely became a favourite auto-buy author. My last traditionally published backlist series I had to read going into 2025 was It Happens in Nashville duology, the first book being The Off-Limits Rule. The Off-Limits Rule follows Lucy who has moved her and her son back in with her brother who has made it clear that his best friend, Cooper, is off-limits to her however Lucy has gotten a different impression of Cooper to what Drew has told her about him and maybe it’s okay to break the rule sometimes, right? As soon as I started this book I was reminded of exactly why I love Sarah Adams books so much. I was invested in Lucy’s character and hooked by the story. I enjoyed all of the characters and found it to be a book that I could not put down. The romance w...

My Kind of Trouble book review

I found myself enjoying this read however the more I think about the more that I'm sure that there were things I think could have worked better for me and I find a 3/3.5 star rating is the right place to sit with my thoughts. I really enjoyed reading about the characters and seeing what they were going to do along with watching their romance develop as the story went on. I don't think I've really read anything like this before in a really positive way and there were so many scenes I had a great time reading but there were also parts that I wasn't so taken by and definitely wished had been done differently, and found to be sat in the middle of two different directions I would potentially have enjoyed more. I thought the con part would be good fun but in many ways I found that it and the romance were competing for page space with neither really winning. The parts of the con that we saw definitely weren't the parts that interested me and I would have either liked a...
