Next of Kin
Hannah Bonam-Young
Romantic Comedy
Boomerangers
Heather M. Orgeron
Very funny and quirky, with moments that feel so applicable to real life.
Silent Patient
Alex Michaelides
That ending really did make the journey worthwhile, a truly unexpected turn!
Fantasy
Crown of Midnight
Sarah J. Maas
The one where the series stops being a competition and starts being a war.
Fantasy
Throne of Glass
Sarah J. Maas
A competition, a castle full of secrets, and a heroine who knows exactly how good she is.
Fantasy
Heir of Fire
Sarah J. Maas
Grief, training montages, and the best new characters in the series.
Fantasy
Queen of Shadows
Sarah J. Maas
Aelin walks back into Rifthold and takes the city apart. Perfect.
Fantasy
Empire of Storms
Sarah J. Maas
Enormous, romantic, devastating. The high point of the whole series.
Fantasy
Tower of Dawn
Sarah J. Maas
The healing book. Slower, gentler, and far more necessary than people expect.
Fantasy
Kingdom of Ash
Sarah J. Maas
Nine hundred pages of grief, war and payoff. It sticks the landing.
Fantasy
The Assassin's Blade
Sarah J. Maas
Five novellas that turn Celaena from a name into a wound you feel.
Romance
Twisted Hate
Ana Huang
Enemies-to-lovers with real teeth — Josh and Jules bicker like they mean it.
Romance
Twisted Lies
Ana Huang
Obsessive, quietly unhinged and strangely tender — Christian Harper is the reason this series stuck the landing.
Romance
Twisted Games
Ana Huang
Bodyguard and princess, forbidden and slow-burning — the strongest book in the series for me.
Romance
Twisted Love
Ana Huang
A cold, closed-off hero and a sunshine heroine who refuses to be managed — this one hooked me by chapter three.
Thriller
I Will Find You
Harlan Coben
My first ever book by a male author and WOW did Harlan Coben set the bar HIGH.
Fantasy
Caraval
Stephanie Garber
The atmosphere was enchanting, but the worldbuilding was more style than substance.

We Were Liars
E. Lockhart
Style over substance. The duology was vague and relied on shock value, leaving me frustrated rather than moved.
Romance
Pretend You're Mine
Lucy Score
Book 1 was my favourite — easy to read and a nice start. By Book 3 I struggled and skimmed, but the series still had its moments.

Romance
Confess
Colleen Hoover
Emotional, unique, and beautifully written. Anonymous confessions turned into art give this romance a raw, personal layer.

Frequently asked questions
- How do you rate the books you review?
- Every review gets a star rating out of five, in half stars, plus a short honest verdict. Ratings are based on how the book read, not on hype or publisher pressure.
- Are the reviews spoiler-free?
- The main review is always spoiler-safe. Anything that gives the plot away is tucked behind a spoiler toggle you have to open on purpose.
- Can I filter reviews by genre, author or rating?
- Yes. Use the search bar and filters at the top of the reviews page to narrow by genre, author or minimum star rating.
- Do you review books you didn't enjoy?
- Yes. Low ratings stay published — knowing what didn't work is as useful as knowing what did.
- Can I submit my own review?
- You can. Send it through the submit-a-review form and, if it's published, you'll be credited by name on the shelf.
