Beware of the book dragon!

Infinity Son was a very light urban fantasy for me, and I honestly guess it was okay- nothing special, and nothing that is actually horrible. I did like some of the characters, and I loved the plot concept- however in parts it slightly didn't hit my expectations. I felt that the world building was lacking in parts, and the dialogue in parts was a little cliche. Loved the evil government guy driving the whole make-the-good-guys-look bad thing. That, I digged. A lot. Something I haven't read about in a while! I also enjoyed the setting of an alternate USA to be honest- the way that was described was actually super interesting. Whilst not the most impressive book, I enjoyed it for what it was, and for a first go at fantasy for Silvera, I applaud him! Rating: 3/5

I loved the 24 hour revival concept in this one, and I was drawn into the world and how Palindromena operated. I loved to hate Nessandra, and I very much enjoyed how everything about this book had a little bit of a twist! Astrid did a really good job of keeping me on my toes every page, and I personally loved the relationship between Tempest and Elysea- I wish I could've had more page time with them. I also felt for Ray, who didn't have a lot of story of page time, but I enjoyed him as a character, whilst trying to deal with being in the middle of the drama between Tempest, Elysea, and Lor! I truly loved this book and all the surprises and mysteries, but I really wish I had more of the Alerin parents, and a bit more Equinox backstory. Rating: 4/5

As a prequel, I felt like this does its job quite well, it introduced characters and their backstories. However, I did feel as though the descriptions of events and dialouge were mighty wordy at times, which made me skim at times. Despite this, it was a rather fast-paced read, and I enjoyed it for the most part. I did also appreciate how the characters were written, and it made it a lot easier to connect with them. Rating: 3/5

Euphoria Kids is an enchanting, whimsical, refreshing #loveOzYA fantasy, and is the third novel written by Alison Evans. Coming into Euphoria Kids, I knew that it had witches and it had trans and non-binary characters in it, and that was all. Whilst reading, I was not disappointed- it was so cute and heartwarming, and free of a lot of romance- something you don’t see in a lot of modern young adult literature! I also felt that the story was definitely more character driven than world driven, which I actually really liked. Whilst I feel like Euphoria Kids could be read by anyone, it focuses on a group of teens (Iris, Babs, and boy) who are just trying to find themselves in the world. We first meet Iris, our non-binary main, who was born as a plant child and her mums- Clover and Moss (I love these plant names). Iris goes into a lot of detail about a faerie friend, Saltkin at the start of this book too, which is cute because who doesn’t want a faerie friend from the garden?! Iris feels ...

Today's my stop for the bookstagram tour for The Gravity of Us, so to celebrate- I'm doing a review!  This cute YA contemporary had family drama, friendship, romance, starting (nearly) a whole new life- the works! I thorougly enjoyed how Cal our main guy was headstrong, and the friendship dynamics between Deb and Cal, as well as Cal and our NASA pals. The story was paced in a way that made me forget my surroundings, and I was gripped to know what happens next for every page of this book, and I enjoyed the romance that ensued- which was cute enough to make me swoon just a little. Social media and reality TV was a huge focus in this book, as well as queer+ representation throughout the book- both which are super relevant and relatable to the world today. This was released in Australia on March 17th, so is available now!  Rating: 4/5 Thanks to Bloomsbury for the early copy of the book!

A fantastic gene-hacking based book that is set in a post-apocalyptic world, This Vicious Cure certainly cured the need to know how the characters ended up fairing at the end of this series! This Vicious Cure is the third and final book in Emily Suvada's This Mortal Coil trilogy. Before delving into why I loved This Vicious Cure, let's recap book 1 (This Mortal Coil) and book 2 (This Cruel Design). In This Mortal Coil, we meet Catarina and Cole, who live in this future world where the virus Hydra has forced many people into bunkers run by this corporation by the name of Cartaxus. Cole is a soldier from Cartaxus who has delivered a message to Cat that her father, Lachlan Agatta, is dead. This sends them on a gene-hacking and butt-kicking journey to uncover the truth behind Lachlan's death. In This Cruel Design, we meet Jun Bei, Cole, and Anna- lab-made humans and they work with Catarina to attempt to make a vaccine for the Hydra virus, whilst on the run from both Lachlan a...

Sparrow's life is all about school, friends, and ballet. This is until she gets hit by Tristan King's car and falls for him. Soon she finds herself in a controlling relationship. Sparrow is a confronting, but very important tale of a young up-and-coming ballerina being abused and assaulted by her boyfriend. The tale is told in two perspectives- from Sparrow herself, and Lucas- her best friend who tries to stop her from getting hurt. This book deals with themes such as domestic violence, abuse, and a controlling relationship. I do not recommend this book for those who are extremely sensitive to such themes and events. The boyfriend, Tristan King is gorgeous, dashing, and used to be a big bully to Sparrow and her friends. Sparrow thinks that he's changed over time, but none of her friends think so, and she is hellbent on proving them wrong. The speed of the development of this relationship went from 0 to 100 very fast, and was starting to worry her friends. Unfortunate...
