ARC Review: The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee
I’m going to start off by saying that I’ve never read or watched Gossip Girl. Shocking, I know. Why do I mention this? The Thousandth Floor has been heavily promoted as ‘Gossip Girl in the 22nd century’. I can go in for some fun drama if it’s well done, so I decided to pick this… Continue reading

ARC Review: The Diabolic
There are times when a book comes into your life that you think you won’t like, but you somehow end up loving. That book for me was The Diabolic. It has so many elements that I usually dislike: an overpowered heroine, a cocky-on-the-outside-but-soft-and-squishy-on-the-inside hero, the ‘this could all be resolved if we actually sat down… Continue reading

Weekly Wrap-Up #19
Happy Friday, you guys! We have a bank holiday weekend here in the UK, and I’m gearing up for a nice long weekend in London with my family.

Review: A Gathering of Shadows
After a mediocre, but promising start to the series with A Darker Shade of Magic), I was nervous about being disappointed by the second book in this wildly popular series. For me, A Darker Shade of Magic was problematic in a number of areas, but particularly the characters. Their lack of development and personality, coupled… Continue reading
