Holly Jackson’s writing is just as vivid and striking as ever. The story she weaves is brought to life through the intricate details and creative media elements I have come to expect from this series. However, I was slightly disappointed that this book only has a few media elements compared to previous books since these were one of my favourite things about the series.

GOOD GIRL, BAD BLOOD by Holly Jackson
Pippa Fitz-Amobi is on the case again in this fantastic sequel! ‘Good girl, bad blood’ begins soon after the events in the previous book. These events are creatively recapped using the various media elements I now associate with this series. Much to my delight, new media elements like the AGGGTM podcast and online articles are even introduced in this book.

LULLABY by Leїla Slimani
The cover of Lullaby is very striking but simple, with an image of a dress not dissimilar to the one which many of us were forced to wear as children. The quote on the cover catches the eye immediately, causing intrigue as to what the book is about – at least it did for me. “The baby is dead. It took only a few seconds.”

56 DAYS by Catherine Ryan Howard
’56 days’ is the first book I have read that is set in this COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, this book puts a magnifying glass on the early days of the pandemic. Catherine Ryan Howard does a great job of capturing the uncertainty and apprehension of that time. While this could potentially be triggering for some readers, in my opinion, it helped make the story even more engaging and realistic.
