First thoughts – Ghost House, despite it’s name, lacks some good amount of horror. Chloe has come to her grandma’s house in England for the holidays, a way to get away from the sadness in her life due to the recent death of her mother. Being psychic, she has always been able to see ghosts, but they never really…Read more

I haven’t read a vampire book for quite some time now – it has been all dystopians and sci-fi for some while now. In the beginning, it came off as a bit Twilight-ish and then it felt a bit like Bloodspell (by Amalie Howard) but (not that it was a bad thing), I found this blend of psychics and vampires really good.

The Dangerous Dream spin-off series is already looking great. I am rubbing my hands with glee to see what shenanigans can Ridley get into.

Fairytale retellings in an anthology – I was so drawn in by it. I have read anthologies before, but I don’t think any retelling-based ones.

Just Like Fate is an innovative concept – the what ifs of life. There are so many things in life we regret – things that make you want to take back something, not make a particular decision.

Conceptually, The Forgotten Ones drew me in with the Irish folklore. Stories of faeries are interesting to me and that was the reason I picked it up.

Breathe has a very interesting premise – in a futuristic world, oxygen has become a commodity and breathing is a privilege. The people are trapped by their dependence on this vital gas.
