Snowed in for Christmas review


 Sarah Morgan is an author I have found I can always trust to write a festive book with all the Christmassy feelings that I can get lost in. The first Sarah Morgan book I read was Snowed in for Christmas in 2022 which I loved and have reread yearly since. 

Snowed in for Christmas follows both the Miller siblings, Ross, Alice and Clemmie, who all have secrets they are trying to hide from their family and Lucy who is dealing with a Christmas on her own and potentially losing her job so is determined to get business from Ross. When she goes to deliver a proposal to his family home however she is mistaken for Ross’s girlfriend and by the time she can leave she is snowed in and stuck in Scotland with the Millers for Christmas. 


There are so many parts of this book that I love and each time I read the book I find more things that I love and my enjoyment grows. 


I love spending time with all of these characters and for different reasons too. Nanna Jean has to be my favourite character in the whole book. She has some of my favourite scenes and always makes me laugh so much but is a great addition to the story and support for the other characters.
We get the perspective of a lot of our characters in the book and that is really well done. By getting the perspectives of so many of the characters it feels like you really get to know both the characters and the story. 


Lucy is a really special character to follow and by following her we really get to know the Miller siblings and see the family as an outsider. Lucy’s story in this book is probably up there as one of my favourite stories and character developments that we follow in the book. 


Clemmie’s is probably my other favourite story that we follow and the way Nanna Jean tackles that really lets her sine. I would love a book with just Clemmie and Fergus because they have such a special relationship, and I would love to spend as much more time as possible with this family. Clemmie also has a lot that she deals with in the book and that just adds to the cozy family feeling that Snowed in for Christmas is full of. 


That being said I love this entire story so much and everything about it. There is such a special family and festive feeling that comes with the story and due to that I love rereading this book in December and I think that I’m now going to make this a yearly thing because I love kicking off my festive feelings with the Miller family. It truly gets me into the festive feeling. 


If you couldn’t tell from this review I absolutely love this book and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cosy festive read. In my festive book ranking this is definitely one of the top festive books that I have read since I started tracking my reading.

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 ...
