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 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...

The Mistletoe Motive book review

I discovered Chloe Liese for the first time this year and have since May read her entire backlist and loved all of them. The Mistletoe Motive was no exception to this and another one I read within 24 hours. Over the course of The Mistletoe Motive we get to know Gabrielle and Jonathan who have worked together at Bailey’s Bookshop for about a year but don’t find themselves getting along. They have recently learned that the bookshop is at risk of closing though and set a challenge of whoever sells the least books in December has to resign and through this challenge Gabrielle meets a new side of Jonathan that she didn’t expect. This is a novella of under 200 pages so while going in I knew I love Chloe Liese as an author I wasn’t sure what I would think of it with it being so short and having less time with the characters. However I was not at all let down by this book and absolutely loved reading it. Gabrielle was a character I connected to from early on in the stor...

It Only Happens in the Movies book review

I have previously loved Holly Bourne books but found that I wasn’t the biggest fan of the one I read in 2024 so was a bit anxious going into It Only Happens in the Movies however I had no need for that anxiety because this book was exactly what I wanted and more. It Only Happens in the Movies follows Audrey who is over romance after her parents divorce that has left her stuck in the middle, a tough break up and teenage friendship struggles. When she starts a new job and meets Harry, Audrey tries to stay away however she can’t help falling for him even if she knows she shouldn’t. When I first started I was unsure about the book with the elements of romance however I was pleasantly surprised. Holly Bourne built up a character who I understood and felt relatable. The book had the expected message present in almost all Holly Bourne books which made the story more impactful and me wanting to keep reading to see how things worked out. All the characters were well-deve...
