Showcase Sunday (#5)

Showcase Sunday is a weekly meme hosted by Vicky at Books, Biscuits & Tea. Its an opportunity to highlight our newest books or book related swag and to see what everyone else received for review, borrowed from libraries, bought in bookshops and downloaded onto eReaders each week. I’m very excited to say that I received my very first ARC through the post which is…. Blink Once by Cylin Busby – This looks like a very intriguing story of which I have never encountered a book such as this and I can’t wait to read this. The cover is beautiful and peaceful. The thing that […]

Review – Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry

Title – Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits #1) Author – Katie McGarry Publisher – Harlequin Teen Genre – Contemporary Pages – 384 Rating – 4  I’ve seen this book across blogs and book sites and then I saw it as an ARC on NetGalley.

Review – Everneath by Brodi Ashton

Title – Everneath (Everneath #1) Author – Brodi Ashton Publisher – Simon & Schuster Childrens Books Genre – Paranormal Romance Now I must confess that I did judge this book by its cover. It’s beautiful and the way her dress portrays the space and infinity of the Surface and the Everneath, or in Nikki’s case Hell. Sinister yet Enchanting. Once I read the description… that had concluded my decision… two boys, one girl and Immortality? It didn’t disappoint. ~~~6 months ago ~~~ Nikki Beckett had her whole life ahead of her… until she got sucked into the realms of the Everneath… ~~~Century later/6 months later~~~ Nikki Returns […]
