On the blog:
Reviews:
- Internment by Samira Ahmed - While Internment is a powerful and important novel, it was pretty slow, and a number of things didn't make sense. Wasn't a huge fan, sadly.
- The Love & Lies of Rukhsana Ali by Sabina Khan - T really didn't enjoy this one. I feel it's badly writen, it's quite slow, and the ending was so rushed. Just really fell flat for me.
- Other Words for Smoke by Sarah Maria Griffin - I was so disappointed with this book! The vibe was off, it wasn't scary, there was no atmosphere, there was no tension or sinister/ominous feel. It was just all wrong, for me.
- Perfectly Preventable Deaths by Deidre Sullivan - Atmospheric and creepy, with an epic conclusion that's sinister and malevolent!
- The Waking Forest by Alyssa Wees - A fantastic concept with beautiful, enchanting storytelling, but I felt let down by the ending.
