Ruthless Vows book review

Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross is the sequel to Divine Rivals, and a highly anticipated release by many (including me).

This series follows Iris and Roman who are connected by their enchanted typewriters during a war between two fighting gods. This is a YA romantasy series that feels like it’s set in WW1, I would say that it is on the older side of YA as there are many tougher topics covered but does still have a YA feel.

We get both Iris and Roman’s POVs throughout the story which leads us to understand what is going on better but you also get to see as they fall for each other. We also get to see the letters they wrote to each other which makes for a fantastic and moving story.

We follow both Iris and Roman throughout the story, we also frequently see Attie, Tobias and a few other characters during Ruthless Vows and many of them also take key roles in the story. I love these characters and throughout the story I was constantly on the edge of my seat hoping for the best for them, as things get tough. The ending is left open for many of these characters but it felt absolutely perfect.

These characters are all so well written and felt so perfect for the story. We had characters on both sides of the war and characters who were just trying to get by. While we do have a strong plot in this book, the characters pull the story and it wouldn’t be the same without them and I do think that the book wouldn’t be anywhere as sad without the great characters who you really care about.

I love this duology so much and don’t think I’m going to be forgetting about it anytime soon. It is such a fantastic story, with some great characters and writing that you just don’t want to put down. The characters and the writing truly are what makes these two books what they are. I felt all the emotion while reading this and that is exactly what I want.

I don’t plan on stopping recommending these books anytime soon and if you haven’t already I strongly encourage you to pick them up. This is a fun YA romantasy story that doesn’t rely too much on the fantasy elements for you to love the story. A five star series all the way that I don’t think I’ll shut up about anytime soon.

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...

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...

The Dolls House at Wifell Farm book review

This is such a nostalgic, cute read that I couldn't put down and loved flying through. It reminded me of so many books and films I loved growing up and it is one I will definitely be gifting to young girls I know that can love it in the way I loved Rainbow Magic growing up. The Dolls House at Winfell Farm follows Laura’s dolls after she moves away to university and the dolls get moved to the attic, where they meet one of Laura’s other old toys and have to learn the importance of friendship, working together and standing up for what they believe is important. While this is written for a certain audience of children around the age of 7 I think that it can be read and enjoyed by those of all ages that enjoy a good story and want to be taken back to the magic of their childhood. I was hooked from early on wanting to know where Dani would take everything and how it would all end. I grew to really love the dolls and all of their different characters and personalities,...
