I got this book at exactly the right time. I was processing some grief, and having read some of Vanessa Vale’s books before, when she started promoting Hannah and the Hitman on her feeds, I decided to pre-order.

Review: The Hunger Games
This was a book I not only devoured, but made me lie awake at night, wondering what was going to happen next. I pictured what I would do with the characters, and while I often knew what she foreshadowed, Ms Collins surprised me again and again.
Review: The Blonde Identity
But all great art taps into darkness, and your most compelling work emerges when you embrace your full humanity - both light and Shadow.
Review: Writing the Shadow

Review: The Farseer Trilogy – Assassin’s Apprentice
Robin Hobb doesn't take the reader for granted, and I really appreciate that. Nothing spoils writing for me like laying everything out completely for the reader or trying to remind them of things already mentioned.
Review: Divinity 36
As a former band geek and a person with audio-visual synaesthesia, the world building is absolutely wonderful.
Review: Déjà Dead
the perfect opening sentence, Kathy Reichs leaves an unmistakable impression of what life as a forensic anthropologist feels like.
Review: Cemetery Boys
This book broke my heart and put it back together again in such a lovely way.
Review: Soulless Manga Volume 1
If you don't like excessively flowery prose, for which Gail Carriger is known, you might prefer this version of her series.
Review: Iron Widow
This book was exactly the book I needed and wanted to read right now. It is violent and cathartic as it screams at the injustices of the traditional Chinese patriarchy in a dystopian future.
