Once again, Jennifer Estep’s simple yet vivid writing style kept me immersed in the unfolding story. Cliffhanger chapter endings are also cleverly used to keep the story gripping, along with fascinating new layers of worldbuilding.

HONEY & SPICE by Bolu Babalola
The lush writing style flows beautifully with rich analogies and witty humour. I especially loved the Afro-Caribbean and pop culture references, which made the narrative engaging and fun. Besides this, natural, well-written dialogues help propel the storyline forward and define the characters.

FIVE SURVIVE by Holly Jackson
Although the story is told from Red’s point of view, the picturesque, third-person narrative made me feel like I was right there experiencing the chaos that unfolds with the characters. Besides this, a deliciously tense atmosphere was established and gradually intensified throughout the story, eventually making it hard for me to stop reading.
