I went through so many books at the beginning of this year (and at the end of last year), that on top of finishing my university degree, I have struggled so much to get hooked on a new book!!!

But as I have finished my degree now, I want to come out of this book-burn out phase, so if anyone has any recommendations of stories that really hooked them from the get go, please recommend them. Currently I'm trying to read Blood Over Bright Haven as I've heard so many good things about it.
