I LOVED this book. It was an easy read and the author wastes no time with the progression of the plot. 

The FMC is the epitome of men girl, and despite her being shallow and bitchy, she is likeable because of it (imo).

This story would have been a 5⭐ read for me if it wasn't for the ending. It felt like the story ends without a full conclusion, almost as if there is a sequel (to my knowledge there isn't). Though it's not a true cliffhanger, it ends in such a way that the referee can make their own conclusion. As if was such an easy read, I would have preferred to have had a clearer ending. 

But I agree this up, the drama, angst and vampires. It is similar to the style of a 90s child movie - so felt almost nostalgic in a way. I'll definitely be resting more of Rektok Ross' novels, that's for sure!

The story went along at a good pace, and the characters were relatable. I felt that the beginning enticed the audience in and remain engaged.

As the story progressed I found the FMC to be quite annoying with her attitude to the situations she found herself in.

However, the story overall was enjoyable.

It was a quick and easy read. The plot was good, and I did enjoy it.

The thing I don't like about shorter stories is the lack of opportunity to deeply explore certain elements of the storyline so it can feel a but basic.

That being said, I will probably continue the series.

A fab start to the trilogy. This YA novel follows the journey of Pae & Kai as they take part in the kingdom's purging trials.

Many people compare this Story to The Hunger Games, but I feel that this story has its own unique storyline and follows its own trajectory 

I loved the evolving relationship between Pae, and Kai, as well as the development of the other characters. 

I feel the ending of the book has set itself up nicely for the second book in the trilogy.

The story follows the lives of Summer (a city girl) & Rhett (a bull rider) and their evolving relationship was they're forced to work together. The plot was cliché, but that didn't take away from the heart warming story.

This type of book is definitely a comfort read, the shuttle of writing was informal and to the point, you're typical 'chick-lit' novel. 

My only gripe is the bull riding, whilst this is a valid sport, I personally felt uncomfortable with this as the torment this sport places on the animals - I feel that this was rather controversial, considering the feel good nature of the story.

The story follows a centuries old vampire, Matthew, a witch in denial, Diana, and a powerful manuscript that all matter of magical creatures want.

During the story, Matthew and Diana's relationship grows stronger.

I felt the story was well written. I particularly liked that it was set against the backdrop of Oxford University, despite being quite a long audiobook, the story held my attention well, this was partly due to the evolving storyline and the narrator.

The narrator's melodic voice brings the words to life. It helped to become invested in the characters. Her voice was clear and of a good speed.

This was such an enjoyable experience.  The story follows twin sisters. One who is oblivious to the truth of her and her kingdom's history and the other who was on a mission to set right the wrongs of the past.

The opening scene left me intrigued, and the banter throughout the book had me smiling. The characters (barr a few, who I won't name) were relatable and instantly likeable.

Told in dual POV only added to the story.

The narration was tip notch. It was easy to define who's POV I was hearing. Though they sounded similar in nature, it was clear from their personalities and how they spoke. The supporting characters also had clear voices that reflected their personality.

This book had the feel of a classic fairytale but also offered so much more!!

OK firstly. This book needs a list of trigger warnings. I was so disappointed that one wasn't supplied in the book or online, especially given  the graphic content of the book. My concern is that a younger reader may pick this book up - it is set in a sixth form, which may lead one to believe it is a YA novel. It is NOT!! 

This is a very dark and explicit thriller. Was it good? Yes. Was it great? I don't think so.

Whilst the plot itself is decent, the text can be confusing in parts. I understand that the author was trying to keep things mysterious. But honestly, I just felt that it didn't land in places.

The story follows the life of four scholarship students as they embark on a scholarship in a rural boarding school
 There appears to be no leadership, and the bullying is rife. Due to the vulnerable nature of the students and the negligence of the staff, thigns soon take a turn for the worst. And somebody is accused of a crime, which then leads to even darker revelations.

I felt like the story could have been shortened in places. 

Would I recommend this book? Yes, but only to the right reader. This story isn't for the faint of heart, and as previously mentioned, it could be  triggering for some due to the content.
