Our Dark Duet – Victoria Schwab
Our Dark Duet by Victoria Schwab My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars Oh, my heart. I can’t. I absolutely adore V.E. Schwab’s books and this series is no different.

This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars The first few chapters can be a bit slow to get into, but the story does find its path fairly quickly and immediately became a favourite.

City of Glass – Cassandra Clare (Re-Read)
City of Glass by Cassandra Clare My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars City of Glass sent me on an emotional rollercoaster.

A Crown of Wishes – Roshani Chokshi
A Crown of Wishes by Roshani Chokshi My rating: 4 of 5 stars A Crown of Wishes is a companion novel to Roshani Chokshi’s A Star-Touched Queen, but neither needs to be read to enjoy the other. They can either be read in conjunction or be read as a stand-alone without the story being affected…
