This book made me feel so warm and fuzzy inside whilst also sending me on an emotional rollercoaster!! I adore Robin and loved learning/reading so much about drag too! I have such a happy heart! 💄💋

Nick and Charlie continue to give me ALL the feels in these gorgeous comics. I particularly loved the focus on mental health/eating disorders and the importance placed upon the support we need around us. Alice Oseman continues to absolutely smash it! 

I enjoyed this twisty space adventure! Loved the idea of the Library and the meaning behind it. I can easily imagine losing myself there for hours on end! 

I properly enjoyed this fast paced, murder mystery laced with classic horror, blood and gore. I immediately liked Mina as our main character and was intrigued as to what would unfold during her time in New Orleans. The writing was easy to fall in love with and I felt transported to the fascinating, yet dark, world of New Orleans in the 90s. Knowing only a little about New Orleans, I was absolutely enamoured with all of the mythology shared in this novel and how these horrors unfolded to touch Mina’s own life. It made me want to visit New Orleans whilst also simultaneously making me wary. 

 

I wouldn’t say I am hugely into vampires or books about them but I loved the way they were interlaced into this book and the different classic references that appeared. Mina and Libby’s fascination with all things horror was fun. I would definitely be pants taking part in any kind of horror tour but reading along in the safety of my home made it thoroughly enjoyable! I really loved how clearly I could imagine everything whilst reading. 

 

I really loved the characters in this book, especially the complex relationship between Mina and her estranged sister Libby. The way in which their feelings towards each other change and develop throughout the nook was really well done. Not to mention my love for Jared, Lucas and Della too. Another favourite of mine was definitely Thandie who I grew to love for a number of different reasons! 

 

Mina and the Undead is packed full of punches. Full to the brim with adventure, mystery, gore and horror – definitely a favourite read of 2021 so far! 

 

Rhiannon Lewis is back! Except this time she is on the run and taking on new personas. I enjoyed this more than I did the middle book of the trio so far. It was nice to see a new spin on Rhiannon’s life and how motherhood may (or may not) have changed her. I ADORED Caro and her relationship with Rhiannon. It was also interesting to see how the relationship with Rafael developed. Of course, there is still Murder from our favourite lady serial killer and some particularly gruesome scenes towards the end which had me hooked! 
After that ending I cannot see what will happen next - in fact I am desperate for book 4!! Bravo! 

I LOVED Dragon Mountain so so much. The setting, the characters and the bundles of adventure had me captivated! I loved Billy and friends and getting to know the dragons too. The ending has left me desperate for more! 

A definite page turner right from the beginning! I did find myself a little confused at where the story was going at some points but it all came together cleverly in the end! 

A wonderfully original take on the fairytale Cinderella. I loved the idea behind this, the ending had me hooked, the characters were fab particularly Sophia and Constance! I thought it was brilliant and it definitely surpassed my expectations!
