I couldn’t get enough of The Future by Naomi Alderman. This book pressed all of my Sci-Fi/ Speculative fiction/ dystopian buttons ALL AT ONCE!!

I’m not actually sure how I should explain this… There’s so much going on in this book - doomsday preppers with an awful lot of money, climate breakdown and pollution, social media influencers.

Actually, that doesn’t explain half of it.

This is the story of a heist. A pretty daring one, and one that could so easily fail, but in order to save the future, a group of friends decide that they will have to do something to protect the world from three of the most powerful and influential billionaires.

The story is told in punchy, short chapters, interspersed with excerpts from a chatroom ( I loved these parts - I didn’t think I would to begin with, but I really enjoyed them). This style really propels the story forward. Actually, the STORY propels the story forward.

Look, I just really, really loved this book, and I think you should go and read it. Ok?

The Lost Heir ( crown of blood and frost book 1)
By CY Jones

I'm the daughter of a billionaire.
Queen of my private school, and now let's add fairy princess to the mix.
Crazy Right?
When the new hottie in town tells me that I’m his soul bound mate, that I’m in danger, and he’s taking me back to the other side of the veil, my first instinct is to tell him he’s insane.
Until I can’t deny the truth any longer.
A series of events has turned my life upside down, and my so called bound mate, may or may not have my best interest at heart.
He says he's the prince of another land, but I’m Winter DelaCorte, Queen of LA, and I bow to
no one.





A missing princess, a vampire prince, a fae king and a knight in shiny black feathers! What’s not to like? A young girl with a lot on her shoulders after her father goes missing presumably dead not only just became a billionaires but also a long lost princess with 3 bonded men! Story was interesting characters were likeable and no so likeable. Looking forward to seeing where it goes!
