Blue Haven – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Paradise isn’t for everyone.” This book deserves an award! Or 5! It’s no secret that I adore Lisa King’s writing, and this book has been so easy to love.

Only The Beginning – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Finally, throughout all my centuries of ruling this Earth, I had found my heart’s desire.” I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – fantasy has never been my go-to genre, and it takes a lot to grab me and make me finish reading until the end. It’s rare that happens,…

Cycles Of The Phoenix – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “When the imminent battle commences, you may wonder which side will attain victory, the heroes or the opposition?” This book was not what I thought it would be, at all!
