"This reminds me of a bad moment, but an important moment - and I just love this song so much. I was just coming back from the 2016 Olympics in Rio when Blonde dropped, and I downloaded it as fast as I could for the flight back. I was in a really bad place [missed out on a medal], but it's such a beautiful song and brings me such emotion. It really helped me in that way."

I really enjoyed Deadly Captive. I feel like this may be Bianca's first, or first of several, book(s); it just has that "beginners" vibe. Other than that, it definitely held me captive. This book was something I didn't know if I could get into and, though it wasn't necessarily as fast-paced as I preferred, it was definitely not slow and more than a little interesting. I will more than likely read the second installment.

I really enjoyed reading this book. A brave young girl caught up in the horror of her surroundings and seeking refuge in the pages of 8 books, which she carries around in a secret pocket under her dress when dispatching them to teachers. I felt my younger self could relate to Dita in the way she thinks and her love of those 8 books. A very heart warming book amidst the hell of Auschwitz.

3.5 stars.

I became a fast fan of Maxon's mother in The Selection trilogy so the chance to read her story and how she won her husbands heart was a big YES!

I liked reading her Selection and how she went about it, believing in herself. I also learnt a few things I didn't know about her like how long she'd loved the Prince.

If you're a fan of the series then you'll probably enjoy this.
