The Novice by Taran Matharu

I received a copy of this book from the publisher, this does not influence my review. DNF at 10%. Okay, I really hate DNFing books, I really do. But after spending 4 days attempting to read and just wasting my time, I had to DNF. I love character driven books. If I can’t connect to […]

Becoming Jinn by Lori Goldstein

Becoming Jinn by Lori Goldstein

I received this book for review from the publisher, that does not influence my review. I’m not usually into paranormal books, but I love reading interpretations of mythological creatures/beings, and Becoming Jinn sounded like the perfect mix of contemporary fiction + supernatural! Azra has always known she’s a Jinn. Her mother, and her grandmother and her […]

I received a copy of this book from the publisher, this does not influence the contents of my review. I am a huge contemporary fan but I am vastly behind on reading books revolving deeper issues, as I tend to stray towards light and fluffy ones. As I realize that books help shield some horrors […]
