Miwa renders gunfights so vividly you can feel your teeth rattle from the recoil. There is a real sense of motion to these fights.

These stories tell the tales of what our tīpuna got up to back in the day and the adventures they went on to get us to where we are today.
It was incredibly engaging as we followed the main character’s scramble to understand this new and dangerous world.
I loved diving back into this rich fantasy world. Torj and Wren are my favourite fantasy romance couple, whether they’re together or apart.
I’m not normally one for workplace romances but I had such a great time with these characters and I couldn’t help but to root for them.
More than a self-help book, don’t let the science of it put you off, because this is human history and evolution at its most simple.
Twisting through plots like a winding path, it slowly weaves itself together into a bizarre story of immortals, romance and above all, a bet.

A spooky, but exceptionally funny read, with an excellent representation of neurodiversity and the LGBTQ+ community.
A great series for those looking to get into manga, very accessible. Highly recommended for those looking for some fast paced ninja action.
The format was very interesting, as it consisted of the first night of conversation between our main character, & his vampiric historian captor.
Everyone can be an artist! Randerson unravels lessons learned from a career in the arts and spells out why art is so vital for a good life.
You don’t have to be a writer to enjoy this master class, but if you are, Saunders’ insights will delight and inspire.
This murder-mystery-meets-high-stakes-fantasy has me so thoroughly invested that I will be gnashing my teeth in anticipation of the sequel.
I love the slow-burn quality of Broadbent’s romances, they’re so full of yearning, understanding and eventual respect
Starling’s prose dances between poetry and splatter film, with dreamlike sequences of hallucinations before slamming Margaret back to her bed.
Packed with surprising twists and creepy magic, this is a must-read for fans of fairy tale retellings who love a little bit of horror.
Despite occasionally finding it too plot focused, this was a very fascinating and enjoyable read, and a brilliant start to the series.
There are no heroes here; every single character is deeply flawed, not just the three teenage boys accused of murder.
Rather than being a single perspective, it flicks from interviews with the Hero’s party to flashbacks from the members themselves.
The plot twists had my jaw on the floor & the romance had me swooning, especially when circumstances turn from sweet to potentially tragic.
This poetic prose turned whirlwind novel reveals the plastic neon monotony of addiction without ever being repetitive.
A slow, gothic, witchy Young Adult novel about mysterious magic, the American South, dark family secrets and insta-love romance.
Hilarious, chaotic, sexy fun. Fast-paced and more than a little bizarre (in the best way!), this book is an absolute romp of a read.
