Impossible Creatures book review

 


I am a massive Katherine Rundell fan and have been for years so when she announced a new fantasy series I was so excited because I have not had new Katherine Rundell to read for I want to say 3 years and this didn't let me down. 


I love fantasy, great characters and adventure so this had so many reasons that I would love it which is exactly what I did, love it. I started it a few months back and was planning on reading it with someone but that didn't quite work out and I hadn't gotten around to picking it back up however when I did pick it back up I was hooked and desperate to find out what was going to happen. 


Christopher was a great character that I loved following and exploring a new world with. His reactions to the creatures and the questions he asked about them were the exact questions that I wanted to ask to learn more about these animals. The concept was a really intriguing one that has me really interested in the rest of the series that is yet to be released. 


I also loved reading about Mal the girl with the flying coat and who she is because there is much more to learn about than originally meets the eye. She's a fun character who is very likeable with strong feelings and a child with passions that you can't help but support, she doesn't let anyone stop her and won't do anything unless she wants to. 


The rest of the crew were all also characters who I really liked and wanted the best for every single character on that boat. I hope that as we continue the series we get to see more of these characters. 


The adventure was also great and I loved exploring all the different islands and what they are unique for. Mal and Christopher made a great team that cared and worked together using both of their strengths. 


A book that did not disappoint and I cannot recommend more. Looking forward to book 2 whenever it is released.

As Good As Dead short review

Image
  This is the third book in the A Good Girls Guide to Murder series and I was very excited to see what was going to happen and where it was going to go. This book also didn't disappoint, I didn't expect it to take the direction it did and there were some bits that terrified me but I did still rate it 5 stars.  I had so many feelings when reading this, I loved some bits and how the characters have evolved, terrified about what was going on and then heartbroken by parts of the ending. The characters have grown and evolved so much in this series and I love how much they have grown, I also hope they get a break after everything that they've been through.  This book took a dark turn and I can't say I didn't like it. I don't know if it was my favourite when it first happened, but the way it continued on and led to the ending I loved. I also loved how all of Pip's friends stepped up to help even if they didn't completely know what was going on.  That ending too...

The Girl in Question book review

Image
  The Girls I’ve Been by Tess Sharpe is a YA thriller that I read a few years back now and really enjoyed, it was fast paced, had me hooked and characters that were easy to root for so when I heard this book was coming I knew I would need to pick it up.  The Girl in Question again follows Nora, Wes and Iris who we know from the bank robbery from the previous book but instead this time after graduating high school they are going on a backpacking trip in the woods when Wes’s new girlfriend gets kidnapped dure to a borrowed flannel. Most of this book takes place over about a week while the characters are in the forest but there are flashbacks to weeks and years previous.  This is a series I would recommending checking out the content warnings for as there are a lot of things discussed and it’s better to be safe.  I really like how this book is written, it’s not something I find in a lot of the books I read but I don’t think the story would work without it. Unlike the pr...

The Gossip Games book review

Image
This book took me by major surprise and I am so glad that I chose to read it because boy, was it good. I fell in love with this book, the story, the characters, the romance and nearly everything else that was included in it. The Gossip Games follows Gracie who has recently had rumours about her start-up after Dean, her best friend's brother, carried her up to bed and she’s not best pleased. This starts up a competition of sorts between the two to see who can one up the other in a game of flirting and fake dating. This book is a contemporary young adult romance following characters who are in their later teenage years at a private boarding school. The main characters in The Gossip Games are Gracie and Dean, as well as Zara, Dean’s twin sister and Gracie’s best friend, Jesse and Theo, who are Zara and Dean’s cousins, though there are a couple of other characters who feature regularly. I liked nearly all the cast of characters and if I didn’t originally like a character quite often I ...
