This was so heartfelt. It brought me close to tears a good few times, but that last 1000 kiss .. I couldn't stop the tears.

It's so heartbreaking to watch someone you love slowly fade away, and this book captured the agonising moments of that.

Janice has done it once again. This was one of my most anticipated reads of this year, and I was lucky enough to get an ARC on netgalley. (Thank you, Netgalley). 

This is one of the best books I've read this year, maybe even my new favourite. 

We follow 6 students who have been hand selected for an MA degree in Art. They all have their own personal and secretive backgrounds. The twists and turns that this book took, I swear, gave me whiplash. Once, I thought it was going in one direction, and I was figuring out what was going to happen, it went totally somewhere else. The revelations around 70% had me hooked. 

To be fair, the whole book gripped me, it's so easy to read as it's all in multimedia, even though I found it hard to follow at times (a me problem not the book) I just went and reread it 😅 

Such an intense and gripping read. Go read it. Well, when it's out on 29th August 2024!

This was an okay read. There was plenty of spice and had a decent plot, but I guessed what would happen very early on in the story. There are a few triggers, so be careful if you decide to pick this one up.

A short read but a good one! Boy suffering about his identity, and another one who seems to be bullied a lot. They find each other and help each other with their problems. Great story, loveable characters. Will read the next in the series.

What the actual hell 😂 

This book was intense in parts and so full of mystery. The story was so unique, and I was very engrossed. The short chapters and the different time frames made the book so easy to read. How it all concluded in the end was very sad, and I felt so much for Sally. Peter was on a whole other level, I felt sad for him for the life he led because of his Dad's lies, but how he turned out in the end... well, I don't want to give spoilers. Definitely need to give this a read if you haven't.

I loved how you could either read it from Syls pov 1st or violas. It really made the story a thrilling read. 

It gripped me from page 1, and I felt so much for Syl and Viola. Syl shouldn't have been treated the way she was, but she was also deceiving, and Viola seriously needs help even though I think in her mind she didn't think anything was amiss. 

Great characters, plenty of twists, and I honestly didn't see the 2 extra twists that were in them final chapters! 

I don't know how the author came up with the idea of this one, but it was fun to read.

Fun short read.

This really was like netgalley described. The fast and the furious crossed with fourth wing.

I loved this book so much, I hope there is a second. There was action, spice, betrayal, and I really enjoyed the story. I loved the characters and thought they were all cleverly interwoven. I did kinda guess who was stealing the obsidian, but it didn't take away from the ending at all. 

Seriously, if you liked fourth wing, how to train a dragon or fast and the furious, give this a try. You won't be disappointed.
