The Inheritance Games Review
The Inheritance Games kept me guessing at every chapter. Twists, puzzles, and a rich family with way too many secrets—what more could you want? I raced through it in two nights and my cat almost chewed the cover.

The Cuckoo’s Calling Review
Strike and Robin dig through London’s rain-soaked secrets with sharp wit and even sharper banter. The puzzles keep you guessing, but sometimes, I needed a map to track all the twists. Still, a fun and clever read.

The Primal of Blood and Bone Review
Jennifer Armentrout writes romance like fireworks—lots of sparks, sometimes a little loud. Her magical worlds are wild and fun, even if I needed a cheat sheet for all the creatures. Still, her stories kept me turning pages late!

The Bell Jar Review
Esther’s brain feels like my bedroom closet—messy and hard to escape. Plath nails the raw and real. It’s heavy but weirdly funny. Not my usual cheery read, but it stuck with me like glitter after a party.

Great Big Beautiful Life Review
Emily Henry’s books feel like hanging out with your funniest friend—there’s romance, banter, and messy feelings. It’s not all sunshine, but even the gloomy bits are worth the read, snacks or no snacks.

Hamnet Review
Hamnet made me cry, laugh, and question why I never paid more attention in English class. The family drama feels real, and O'Farrell’s words are so good, even my cat wanted to read along.
Rating: 3.6/5

Cixin Liu's book left my brain feeling like mush — in a good way. Wild science, big ideas, and twists kept me turning pages, even when I needed a snack break to process all that space stuff.
Rating: 4/5
The Primal of Blood and Bone Review
Jennifer L. Armentrout nails romance and wild plot turns. Her books feel like riding a rollercoaster—exciting, a little messy, but worth the ticket. Some side characters get left behind, but I always want more.

With a Vengeance Review
Riley Sager kept me guessing on every page. The twists made my head spin, sometimes in a good way, sometimes like I ate bad chili. Not perfect, but boy, I had fun getting lost in the suspense!
