I didn’t expect too much from this as I watched the show before reading the book, but I think the show did a really good adaptation as it wasn’t too far off the source material!
I thoroughly enjoyed following Daphne and Simon through their fake courtship and into them ending up getting married and the trials that came with married life.
It was really well written, and kept me completely engrossed… so engrossed that I read it in an evening! It was good that it focused a lot more on their blossoming relationship with each other than the parties and other characters, as I feel this gives you more of a want to read the rest of the books in the series to find out more about Daphne’s siblings.
I can’t wait to carry on with the series, I think Julia Quinn’s writing is beautiful and I have hopes that the rest of the series is just as good as this book has been!

Red Blood
Contains spoilers, click to show
The first time I read Red Queen I loved the book. However since the release of the next two in the series my love of the book has been seriously diminished. Where the original story of Mare Barrow finding out she has powers, in a world where silver bloods are supposed to be the only ones who have it, Mare suddenly finding herself into a world of cover ups and betrayals. I really enjoyed the twist and turns of the first book. Unfortunely the same cover ups and beytrals happen in the same way and get dragged out each book. So whilst I love the first one unfortunetly the later books destroy my love of the first.

A new book in the ever magnificent Lux universe. The Darkest Star brings new light to the world while standing on its own as a magnificent book. The plot focuses on both tragic love but equally on just what are Luxon and are they truly the most dangerous aliens out there.
Evie and Luc bring banter, tension, and laughs as they spend more time together and learn exactly who they could be together.
I absolutely adore this book and am excited that it can be read as a standalone and not as a continuation of the orignial series. If you haven't read Lux it is ok, you will still enjoy this book!

I tried to read this about 5 years ago and I put it down because I simply disliked Louis and thought him to be too human. I'm glad that I finally picked this book up again.

I realize now that I was too immature to really enjoy all that this book had to offer. Anne Rice is an amazing author who can write a story that engrosses you. I read this book in less than 4 days and I will most definitely read the rest of this series.

This book makes you think of what you would do and how you would react. It takes you on a fantastical adventure that leaves you satisfied yet wanting more.

Incredible book
This was the first proper dystopian teen book I had read (well before the film's) and I really enjoyed the complexity and reality the author gave to the story, how the mother struggled with her husband's death and what this meant to a family living in such a cut throat world. I loved how you could see why she was doing what she did, that she never planned to get out alive when she saw who was going in with her and how she wasn't the 'darling' of the book nor a 'princess' to be looked after.

The ending of the series was a let down but this book is great to get your teeth into
