Attention ladies and gents! It is my utter pleasure to detail my thoughts on this impressive novel called ‘The Murder on the links’. This mystery masterpiece, written by the Queen of Crime herself, is clearly well thought out and skillfully executed.

THE GILDED ONES by Namina Forna
As someone who is utterly shameless about her love for books with pretty covers, I must first mention that this book looks beautiful! The melanin POPPING on the cover plus the gold accents and the green edges have me completely mesmerised. To make things even better, this book proves to be far more than a pretty cover as it delivers great content.

SERPENT & DOVE by Shelby Mahurin
‘Serpent & Dove’ captured my interest right from the start! There is no gradual introduction to the characters and world as the book quickly launches into some action. While this could be disorienting for some readers, I was fully enthralled by the amazing writing and fast pace within a few pages. Additionally, I swiftly became infatuated with the awesome character that is Louise le Blanc.

ALL THE STARS AND TEETH by Adalyn Grace
There’s no denying that ‘All the Stars and Teeth’ is an entertaining, action-packed read. Even so, it could have been far more thrilling if it were not stuffed with various tropes associated with most young adult (YA) fantasy books. These tropes make the storyline painfully average and predictable.

THE UNHONEYMOONERS by Christina Lauren
It’s official, I am #TeamOliveandEthan! ‘The unhoneymooners’ is the perfect example of the enemies to lovers trope done well! It’s funny, sweet, and (largely) realistic.

THORN by Intisar Khanani
Truth be told, I started this book with low expectations and mid-level interest. ‘Thorn’ wasn’t a book that had fascinated me enough to be added to my ‘Want-to-read’ shelf nor had I come across a lot of excitement or hype surrounding it. This was a completely random acquisition, but boy am I glad I got it!

RIVERS OF LONDON by Ben Aaronovitch
I often come across books from this series in the bookstores I frequent. For this reason, I had very high expectations prior to reading this first book in the seemingly popular and best-selling series.

THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS by Chloe Gong
To anyone expecting a close retelling of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, this book is not that. ‘These violent delights’ is a loose, loooooose, l-o-o-s-e (have I said LOOSE?) homage to the tale of Romeo and Juliet. Nevertheless, it is a refreshing blend of romance, mystery, history AND fantasy.
