The Heaven Spot by Mary Frances Hill

Go to review page

A book full of mystery with a strong focus on family.

Maggie is such a complex character. Her flaws are at the forefront of the story. We see her mistakes and her decisions good or bad.

The thriller and mystery aspects keep you reading because you just need to find out who killed her daughter.

The little details really pull it all together. From the importance of The Little Mermaid to a pair of hedge shears, every little detail bridges the story from the past to the present and leads you down the road of finding out what happened in the days Maggie can’t remember.

4.0

This was my first time reading a Melanie Summers book and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

It was fun and heartfelt and full of enemies to lovers goodness.

I equally loved the romance and the family storylines. Some of it was so relatable; cue my parents still not understanding what I do for a living.

I loved the dynamics of everyone on the trip and the fact that after they messed up - there was communication! Hell yeah, communication for the win!

On the Precipice by Brianna Riley Macmahon

slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
On The Precipice is a novel full of political intrigue and secrets. The world is a chess board and we follow multiple characters as they move their pieces around the board in the lead up to an election.

Imperium is in a different world to ours, but it’s still incredibly familiar and you see our world’s politics reflected back at us.

There’s three political parties and we see through the eyes of characters in all of them. It has you think about what is good and bad and shows you everyone’s reasonings behind what they do and how they think their way is the best way to move forward.

Raelynn in my favourite character. She’s new to the world of politics and she’s set up to have a very interesting arc.

The Quelling by C.L. Lauder

Go to review page

The world of The Quelling is expansive and intricate. If you’re a sci-fi fan who loves reading about other worlds and different alien species, this is for you.

Kyjta and Kranik are from opposite sides of this system. They have to make these huge decisions about what’s right and what’s wrong and do they do what’s best for them, the world, or their peoples. Kyjta’s internal monologue was especially interesting to be in as she wrestled with these choices.

For lovers of romance, you’re not forgotten. There’s a low-key star-crossed lovers story brewing and I’m interested to see where that leads.
