This book is about a girl who when she touches someone, they die. She’s been locked away to be recruited by the army to use when she meets one of their soldiers Adam and chaos ensues. The start and middle of this book was honestly pretty average, nothing major. The writing was odd… like it used weird metaphors and sentence structures, I don’t know think it’s my preference. The characters seemed flat and somewhat unlikeable, I couldn’t connect with them. The romance was very high school and a little cliche for my taste. The book held my attention but I wasn’t having the time of my life reading it. I found it hard to pick back up once I’d stopped reading and thought I wouldn’t be continuing the series. Then I go to the end which was much much better! I now am undecided on whether or not I’ll continue reading coz it seems like the next book would be more of what I was looking for in terms of a dystopian/fantasy setting where as this was just a romance with dystopian /fantasy sprinkled in.

This book is about a lady named Fiona who moves back into her childhood mansion. This isn’t just any ordinary mansion but it almost takes on a personality of its own with years of mystery behind it. Fiona finds a book in the mansion and as she reads a horrendously eerie story, she finds herself drawing a number of coincidences while reading this book. Rimmer blows this book out the park! Do not take the length of time it took for me to complete the book as an indication of how good it is, because it only took me that long to read it due to me misplacing the book then eventually finding it. From the very first chapter, I was hooked. Mystery isn’t really a genre I indulge in but this book really ticked all the boxes for me. The way it was written was impeccable! The book within a book was interesting and done so well, I can’t believe I enjoyed it (I’m usually not a fan of a story within a story). This was in the top 5 reads of the year for sure. I can’t wait till more people read this so I can talk to people about it!

This is an adult Romantasy about a necromancer Nova who descends to the underworld to try and retrieve a sword in hopes of breaking the curse that King Alexander put upon her family and kingdom on her 18th birthday. They bump into each other in the underworld and are forced to work together to try and bring redemption to the world in a steamy enemies to lovers story. Firstly I would like to say that although this took me a good month to get through, that has little to do with how good this book was! I just had a lot on in the month and was trying to recover from a reading slump. The writing, the characters and the plot itself were all amazing. I did not find myself bored at all during the 670 pages of this book, and that’s impressive! I did notice though that once I put the book down, I stopped thinking about it and being interested in it that’s why it took so long for me to finish coz there was no urgency in me to read it for some reason. I also did find a lot of the world and magic system to be confusing and a lot of it just went over my head which is why I’m not giving it a full 5 stars. All in all, I really did enjoy this story and am keen to recommend it because I haven’t heard many people reading or talking about it.
