This is book 2 in the Changes Are Trilogy, and it picked up right where book 1 finished, though this time it centres more around Maeve than Eden, and as I really like Maeve, this was brilliant! She's funny and carefree she did annoy me at times with how stubborn she was, but she made up for it at the end with her brilliant bus speech at the end! I really enjoyed the slight mystery element as you're trying to figure out what happened to Poppy and if it was an accident or not! And that ending.... I'm super excited for the next book!

Continuing my reread of the Sookie Stackhouse series with Dead as a Doornail, I'll admit I couldn't quite remember this one, so it was nice to reread/ listen to this as there were some surprises for me!
Although this isn't my favourite in the series, I still enjoyed it as this whole series makes me happy! I'm super excited to carry on the series, especially as we've now been introduced to Quinn 🥰 I can't wait!

After reading and loving Before Again, I was super excited to read this new series, and whilst I didn't love it quite as much, I still really enjoyed it! I loved how this is set around Before Again being made into a film, and I really liked all the characters and enjoyed how it was written in Scots dialect and loved Eden's confusion around what they where saying (my fave was why is he referring to me as a barnyard animal, when a taxi driver asks "You okay there hen?) This is the first of 3 short books in the Chances are series because of this I did think it had just got going when it ended but I've book 2 ready to go which I'm sure will pick up where it left off and will be action packed! Keep your eye out for that review later this week!

This book gets 5 stars just for Nurse Ratched and Rambo as I absolutely loved them both, and they had me laughing out loud from the beginning and throughout the whole book! The best way to describe this book is that it was like a hug! It was so wholesome, and I absolutely nailed the found family trope. It was full of adventure and heartfelt moments, and I really rooted for all the characters! This was the perfect reason for a cosy bank holiday weekend. I had a feeling this would be 5 stars from a few pages in, and i wasn't disappointed!

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I really liked Sam and Phoenix and all the other characters, though sometimes I did feel I was missing parts of their stories as they were from another series and felt that sometimes it overly repeated what had happened to them. I enjoyed the story even though it was a but predictable towards the end! Saying that I will be keeping my eye out for book 2 and may try and read the other series as I really liked the characters and am intrigued as to what their stories are!

I stumbled upon this one, and it sounded right up my street! It has one of my favourite tropes unknown powers. I really liked Lou, and overall, I enjoyed the story. Although I didn't feel like it didn't flow smoothly sometimes and I had to go back, as I thought I had missed a page. It did have a few twists that were a bit predictable, but overall, it was a good quick read, and I'll check out the rest of the series when they are released.

This was definitely a booksta made me do it book it was also my first Ali Hazelwood book and I did enjoy it! I really liked Misery and Lowe and the tension between them. I really enjoyed the story, and it had lots of twists that I didn't see coming, but some parts were a bit predictable, and I was expecting a bit more spice! I was also happy to hear that Ali is planning a few more books in this world as there definitely characters I would like to see more of!

This was a great quick read, I really liked Wren and Kellan (and I'm a sucker for Enemies to lovers!) I really enjoyed the story and found the world building really easy to follow. I also really liked the side characters and will definitely be keeping my eyes out for the other books in this series!

I really enjoyed this book. I loved Sophie, and this was a great spin on someone falling into a magical world . I loved that Sophie knew the tropes, etc, as she was also a massive fantasy bookworm! I really liked the story and loved how it didn't take itself too seriously and leaned into the tropes and stereotypes. I absolutely adored Ellie and Cam. They were amazing sidekick/side characters, and Queen Calliea was the ultimate badie! This had some great twists and that ending!!!! I can't wait for book 2!

This isn't my usual genre as I'm normally a fantasy girl, but this Januarys @bookmarkedbychris Blind Date Indie Book.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and really liked the characters, and Jessica wasn't joking with her note in my book! The descriptions of sleep paralysis really freaked out, especially as this is something I've experienced myself when I was younger and occasionally still have dreams where I can't scream or ask for help! It had some great twists and turns, and I'll definitely be continuing the series to see what happens to the gang next and see if they manage to get rid of the creature!
