Book 1: Lady of Darkness by Melissa K Roehrich
One of my favourite authors. Her Lady of Darkness triology is a fantasy lovers dream.
A ruthless assassin. A chance at vengeance. A deadly secret…
Book 2: The Housemaid by Freida McFadden
For the shock factor!
“Welcome to the family,” Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I’ll soon learn that the Winchesters’ secrets are far more dangerous than my own…
Book 3: The Mysterious Bakery on Rue de Paris by Evie Woods
A nice cozy book for when you need light hearted and chill reading.
Rumours were whispered through the town that its pastries offered a taste of magic, chasing away the darkest of sorrows. Just one bite of a croissant might bring luck, unlock a precious memory or reveal hidden longings. Nestled among the cobblestone streets of Compiègne, there existed a bakery unlike any other.
But dark clouds were looming on the horizon…
Book 4: The Divergent Series by Veronica Roth
A childhood favourite.
Sixteen-year-old Tris has been forced to make a terrible choice. In a divided society where everyone must conform, Tris does not fit.
So she ventures out, alone, determined to find out where she truly belongs. Tris can trust no one in this brutal new world, but she is drawn to a boy who seems to both threaten and protect her.
Book 5: The Satsuma Complex by Bob Mortimer
Bob is so funny and his books are a breath of fresh air.
My name is Gary. I’m a thirty-year-old legal assistant with a firm of solicitors in London. To describe me as anonymous would be unfair but to notice me other than in passing would be a rarity. I did make a good connection with a girl, but that blew up in my face and smacked my arse with a fish slice.
Book 6: Alchemised by SenLinYu
Basically because it’s over 1000 pages and it would keep me busy. I am a lover of fantasy books and this book was 5* for me.
In a world ruled by necromancers, a woman with missing memories threatens the dark order that keeps her captive – and the man sent to break her.
Once a promising alchemist, Helena Marino is now a prisoner – of war and of her own fractured mind. The Resistance is crushed, her allies dead, her abilities suppressed.
The world she knew is gone.
