I requested I Shot the Devil from NetGalley as the title and the cover drew me in. I later learned that it follows a true crime reporter, and then I was hooked. I am very intrigued by true crime (I don’t want to call myself a “true crime fan”… we […]
Obviously, I have seen all the hype for The Atlas Six. I no longer let hype suck me in nowadays as I’ve been burnt before, but nevertheless I was curious about reading this one. I don’t read much dark academia as it’s really not my genre, and I don’t understand […]
This Mortal Coil was a fun, action-packed YA story about a virus that makes people literally explode. It’s all a bit grim, and I don’t think the story would be for everyone following the Covid pandemic, but I had a lot of fun reading it. I really liked the main […]
Jesus Christ this book is badly written. I was intrigued initially by the concept of a slaughtered elk seeking revenge – I am a vegetarian after all – but nothing about this turned out well. My main issue with The Only Good Indians was the choppy writing style. It might […]
I read The Love Hypothesis earlier this year, not really expecting much from it because hyped Booktok books had let me down before. Despite my initial hesitancy, I ended up really enjoying it, and I actually pre-ordered Love on the Brain because I couldn’t wait to get my hands on […]

I didn’t have access to Nickelodeon growing up, so I only really know who Jennette McCurdy is because I occasionally go on Oh No They Didn’t!… Yes, the Livejournal is still alive and well. I was intrigued by I’m Glad My Mom Died mostly because of the sudden traction it […]
After reading The Long Weekend and one other book by Gilly Macmillan, I really don’t think she’s anauthor for me. The premise of this book sounded fantastic to me, as I really enjoy thrillers about groupsof friends going away on holiday. It’s a niche I didn’t realise I loved until […]
I haven’t read a Megan Miranda book in years; not since her first foray into YA thrillers. I really wasn’t afan back then, but ever since I have heard great things about her writing. The synopsis of The Last toVanish caught my eye because I read that it was about […]
A few years ago I watched the recording of the Station House Fire in Rhode Island. It is still to this dayone of the most devastating things I have ever seen. In the recording, you can see the nightclub go up inflames within 90 seconds, and all the people who […]
