I don't think I have ever read a book this depressing and dire, it just didn't get better. The descriptions were stunning and the evolving relationship between the characters was incredibly well written - It was just so sad.

This was so much fun, it was a nod to the horror genre whilst also embracing alot of comedy aspects - adored the pacing and the entire vibe of the book was enjoyable. I want to read more from this author

Okay so I picked this up completely blind from a charity shop as part of a package deal with some supernatural young adult romances assuming it was similar (i needed a little respite from exam reading) but what this was, was nothing that I expected until I saw the original cover on goodreads.

why the fuck is he randomly scottish, why is his mega virginity so talked about, why the insta lust for a man who held her hostage with chains for two years??????? the sex scenes were so built up but so dull, the fact that they dont even face Mab our main protagonist? LAME. I was so hooked by the idea of 1811 london fantasy and was repeatedly let down by poor world building and even suckier romance. and then SHE KILLS HERSELF AT THE END SO SHE CAN BE WITH HIM - its giving the worst Romeo/Juliet inspired.

This was not for me - I should not have read this - I should have DNF but I am far too stubborn -

This is maybe the most depressing book that Suzanne has written. The new backstory, the further development of the world and the characters that we have met in the future

 This was fun, I like an easy to read YA novel whilst I am reading something heavoier (right now its east of eden) It was just a little strangely paced, I think the world building is fun and I do want to learn more about world outside the maze however we are getting a lot of chosen one/main character right now.
