The Hazel Wood
Picked up this extremely hyped up book recently and wow, what an experience. “Life was a big thing to live without a map.” Melissa Albert, The Hazel Wood Seventeen-year-old Alice and her mother are continuously on the run, because bad luck always catch up eventually. But when Alice’s grandmother, the reclusive author of a cult-classic book … Continue reading The Hazel Wood
The Sea Witch
I absolutely loved this book! The amazing spin on a well known tale (and also my favorite Disney movie btw.) had me reading through the night. The story had me laughing, crying, throwing the book at the wall…several times. I was completely engrossed. The story of a three friends and a tragic end had me … Continue reading The Sea Witch

There are definitely spoilers if you read them out of order. I will however be reviewing them in order. The Shadow and Bone Trilogy The trilogy follows … Continue reading Welcome to the Grishaverse
The Wicked Deep
"Secrets lurk beneath the surface..." I am not one for ghost stories so this did not go down well for me. As per the quote on the cover, there is far more to the story than the back cover leads on. Keeping that in mind, the writing style is unique and at times difficult to … Continue reading The Wicked Deep
