Read as part of a local bookclub. This was a light hearted read. It wasn't anything stellar or mind boggling. It was a nice quick and easy read about revenge going too far. Enjoyable.

I loved this book. It was light and wholesome and really interestingly done. The whole premise was something I personally hadn't encountered before which was refreshing and gave the whole story something extra. 10/10 elicited too many emotions out of me though.

Not only love the cute rom com vibes but is that low key cutsie spooky mystery vibes coming through as well? Because I love a rom com with a cutesy little bit of mystery. I hope the weird occurances don't get pushed aside because it's basically my favourite part of the plot line.

Only 8% through and I'm loving the chick-lit rom com cliche vibes and how likable the characters are straight off.

This book has been my favourite read of 2025. The narration is witty, biased and laugh out loud hilarious in places. The characters are comically chaotic and quite frankly almost ludicrous as to how unadjusted they all are. But the story is a modern and contemporary look into the occult with a varied range of seemingly impossible characters. 10/10 a wild ride navigating loss, family rivalry and finally finding yourself in adulthood, shirking off those shackles of prodigy burnout and depression. Each character has significant growth and you can't help but be invested in how their misfortunes unravel. Honestly a piece of literary art.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this book. Everything from the wildly biased narration to the almost comical characters whose lives are just a sheer mess. It's like one insane journey of chaos where each puzzle piece is slowly slipping in place piece by piece as you start to get to know the eclectic and quite frankly absurd cast of this story.

The narration style is interesting. It's definitely something you have to get used to. But once you get into the swing of it, it's absolutely fascinating and incredibly well done. It's slightly reminiscent of Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy in that respect so yes. It can be hard to get to grips with at first, which I did see was a pitfall in some of the ARC reviews and I understand entirely how it can turn people off from a book, but I'm enjoying it immensely.

I enjoyed this book, it was a touching and moving world war 2 coming of age story. The characters are enjoyable. The chapters are short and sweet making it easily digestible. It gets a 10/10 on imagery alone to be fair. Almost made me cry. I didn't believe I'd enjoy this book because I'm not into historical fiction but was pleasantly surprised. Read as part of a local bookclub for March 2025.

Love! Love! Love! This is a fast paced detective thriller and is the 9th installment of the Nikki Hunt series and it doesn't fail to disappoint. Especially as this case hits home and from page one is going to be a emotional Rollercoaster that further develop our hero's and heroines. 10/10 one of Stacy Greens best books yet.
