Don’t You Forget About Me

Don’t You Forget About Me is another fabulously relatable book from Mhairi McFarlane and I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. It’s got all of the ingredients for rom-com gold. Endearing characters, a will they/won’t they scenario, laughs and some emotional bits too. It was a really easy read. It was warm, funny but completely down to earth too. Highly recommend this one!

Girls of Paper and Fire

I had seen Girls of Paper and Fire all over social media, so I requested it from my library to read. After a bit of a wait, I got stuck in and I was hooked. At times dark and brutal, Girls of Paper and Fire is a thoroughly absorbing book. Excellent characters, a dastardly feel in there too, and a gripping plot. I really enjoyed this one, and I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

This Cruel Design

I loved This Mortal Coil so it’s safe to say I was looking forward to catching up with the characters in This Cruel Design. While it took me a bit of time to get into it, once the story really got going I couldn’t put it down. This series is brilliantly dystopian, with real scientific edge. Definitely recommended!

Stillhouse Lake

I had seen the hype around this series when it was first released, so naturally I grabbed a copy for myself. Fast forward to this year (when book THREE) came out, that’s when I decided to pick up Stillhouse Lake. Talk about a thrill ride. I was hooked from the very beginning, caught up in the drama, absorbed in the characters. I loved it so much that I went on to read the following two books in the series in quick succession. If you enjoy fast paced thrillers, then I would definitely suggest adding these books to your TBR!
