Maybe Next Christmas book review

Last year I read This Christmas by Emma Heatherington and really enjoyed it, I found it to be a really fun Christmas romance so when I heard Emma Heatherington was releasing another Christmas book this year I knew that I definitely wanted to read it and see if she is an author who becomes one I turn to for every Christmas.

Maybe Next Christmas follows Bea and Ollie who meet when their plane back home to Ireland for Christmas is delayed but after the flight they leave as strangers until they bump into each other in London months later sparking a chain of events that neither could have predicted last Christmas.

As I’ve already mentioned I have previously read an Emma Heatherington Christmas book so kind of knew what to expect from this with the writing and characters going into it and it didn’t disappoint. I really enjoyed the writing and getting to know these two characters with their different points of views and past experiences. Emma creates a really magical cosy setting that you want to visit and want to keep reading from and she also manages to have you really root for the characters throughout the story no matter the situations that they found themselves in. Once I was hooked I couldn’t stop reading desperate to know how things were going to go for Bea and Ollie by the end of the book because there wasn’t always a clear ending to be expected.

Even though this book spans an entire year it continues to have that cosy feeling that you expect from a festive book and still feels perfect for the season. Bea and Ollie were both well developed characters who both had lots going on in their lives that didn’t feel like it was just there for the plot which I definitely liked and really helped to develop how invested you were in the story and what was going to happen to the characters.

Overall I found this to be exactly what I wanted from an Emma Heatherington Christmas book that I was truly invested in wanting to know where everything was going to go. The setting was perfect, and it had a great cosy vibe with characters I truly rooted for so it was an easy 4.25 star read and I look forward to seeing if Emma Heatherington releases any more Christmas books in future years.

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...
