Despite being relatively simple, the world-building is fascinating and immersive. Similarly simple is the writing style, but this is perfect for conveying the intricate details of the action-packed story. The multiple points of view (POVs) used not only presents a full scope of events but help establish the complex characters. Transitions between these POVs are smooth and well-timed, with little repetition of information.

THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE by V.E. Schwab
The beautiful writing style is vivid and gently drew me in. There are numerous quotable lines, and these kept my attention on the unfolding story. Transitions between current and past events are also perfectly timed without disrupting the hypnotic flow of the story.
SEPTEMBER 2022 Monthly Spotlight
With September comes the end of the summer holidays here in the UK and the beginning of Fall. While it is always sad to say goodbye to summer, there is a certain beauty to Fall which makes it appealing. But, more pleasing than Fall are these new releases coming out this month!

CROWBONES by Anne Bishop
The imaginative world that forms the core pillar of this story, and series, is easily my favourite part of this book. Once again, I was fascinated by the various forms of Terre Indigenes, and I relished the constant tension generated by the threat of their fury. The use of several points of view also worked great as it helped capture the full scope of all that takes place.

HOW TO KILL YOUR FAMILY by Bella Mackie
I could not get enough of the dark, satirical humour infused into the narrative. Even though I was not laughing out loud, the shade and snark provided a constant stream of entertainment.

BOOK OF NIGHT by Holly Black
The fascinating concept of shadow magic was what drew me to this book. Sadly, this concept is not well-developed and is slowly established in a manner that had me confused for most of the story. The lack of tension and suspense generated by the writing style also failed to keep me engaged in the unfolding story. However, I did find the transitions between current and past events very smooth, and I thought these added some much-needed depth to the story.

BOOK LOVERS by Emily Henry
Vivid and easy to follow, I cannot find any faults with the writing style. Not only does Emily Henry create an adorable setting with Sunshine Falls, but her ability to capture feelings and actions with words brings her characters to life.
