This was SO BORING oh my GOD. You can tell this was written by a 17yr old on Wattpad, fuck me. Every character sucks, Noah is a misogynistic freak who thinks women can't think or act for themself, Elle proves him right constantly with her stupid behaviour and "pickmeisms". I only liked Lee and even then he wasn't that great. Every character is an NPC outside of them. Boring shitty romance, boring plot. Why did the last 20% even happen??? Fuck this book.

This was crazy!!! I feel like 3 books happened in this one. Loved every plotline, the War was so well done and the chapter were Darquesse takes over? Mwah. The Dead Men make me so emo it's unreal- just so good all over.

I don't really have anything super intelligent to say about these, they're nice flavour text inbetween the main novels and some of them are extremely important- this is more symbolic of my time with this series than anything.

This was fun! I missed Tanith and Sanguine real bad, loved the call backs and Tanith backstory, strange to see so many side characters go in this. Good set up for book 8.

THIS WAS FUCKING NUTS OH MY GOD???? The politics of the Sanctuaries being a real threat here was so good, Argeddion and the "Summer of Light" was fantastic as a plot, Kitana, Doran and Sean were really intense as villains. Loved how much its highlighted that Skulduggery and Valkyrie are too close to be able to kill each other. Carol getting some time makes the epilogue so painful. Also the dimension shifting??? The stuff with Darquesse???????????? STEPHANIE????? My God.

I loved this! Adored the world, the message about complacency. Jam was such a sweet protagonist and I loved her bond with Pet. I fuck with religious imagery so much and this was such a good use of it. Abuse is so deeply insidious and it's so refreshing to have a story where true, proper justice is delivered.

For a horror novel there is an ASTOUNDING amount of sex. Also free my girl Beth.

This was such an improvement over book 5 it's unreal- plot was super concise, learning about what the Passage actually is was so good and I adore Melancolia as a villain. Loved the Lord Vile twist and the fight between him and Darquesse? Incredible. Thank fuck that stupif plotline with Caelan is over, and I like that Valkyrie was able to admit that she'd been an idiot in regards to Fletcher. Seeing her turn into Skulduggery more and more every book makes my teeth hurt. And them finally knowing what China did? Especially now because Valkyrie doesn't have Tanith? Ouch.

READ AS AN ARC

This is a romance which takes place on the Titanic and follows Sybil, a ladies maid and Charles, an officer on said ship. Truthfully I found the romance to be just fine? I liked both characters more apart than together, I feel like they talked about how much they loved each other more than actually loving each other, and that while this is a second chance romance the second chance itself happens so fast, no slowburn at all (which isn't that bad a thing as this is a shorter book and there's a whole ship to be sunk.) Really the best thing about this novel is Lady Iris and her friendship with Sybil- really loved their dynamic together and I hope that the second book is about Iris. The actual sinking itself is done with tact and there's some moments that are so sad. Overall quick and to the point, i'd pick this up if you're wanting a lighter but engaging read. Comes out I believe April 11th!

This was so funny and clever? Valkyrie ans Skulduggery cracked me up so bad and Adedayo was such a wonderful main character- I kinda hope we get to see him again. His relationship with his gran had me emo. This was written later on so you can see the improvement in Landy's writing.
