For those of you who are regular readers of my blog, you will know that the Stalking Jack the Ripper series is one of my ultimate faves. The characters, the settings, the murder… Everything about it is *mwah*. I’ve always loved murder (okay, that sounds weird) and I’ve always been intrigued by forensics. So, it should come to you as no surprise that I like reading about things like that as well. I was looking for books similar to SJtR ON Goodreads, and came upon Spectacle

A Danger to Herself and Others by Alyssa Scheinmel

A Danger to Herself and Others by Alyssa Scheinmel

This is not a light-hearted read. I’m starting the review off like this because I wish that I had known all of the trigger warnings in this book before I started reading it. I knew it was about mental health, so I had prepared myself for that trigger, but the rest of them? I had no idea. So, here you go. 

Trigger warnings: bulimia, anorexia, eating disorders, purging, self-harm, parental neglect and abandonment.

The Loneliest Girl in the Universe was one of my most anticipated reads of 2017… Only, I didn’t read it in 2017, because I AM RUBBISH at keeping on top of my TBR. But when I found out that Lauren James would be attending YALC 2018, I decided that it was about time that I started reading this book. I love a good science fiction novel, and after reading Lauren James’ The Next Together, I had fallen in love with James’ writing style.

I was browsing Audible, looking for a book to listen to when I came across The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter. From the title, I could tell that it was a take on Jekyll and Hyde. I read the premise, and it was something that I knew that I would really enjoy. I love reading books about classic literature, and I love reading re-tellings of them.

I have been waiting for this book for such a long time. I read the first book – Nemesis – about a year and a half ago, thinking that it was quite an old book and that it had been out for a long time. BUT NO! When I realised that it was a new release and that I had to wait over a year for the second book, I was so sad! But now, Genesis is here and boy, am I excited to share my thoughts with you.

Before I Let Go by Marieke Nijkamp

Before I Let Go by Marieke Nijkamp

This has been on my TBR ever since it came out. I was looking forward to reading Before I Let Go, because I enjoyed reading Nijkamp’s other book: This is Where it Ends (which is about a school shooting). After reading the blurb of BILG, it sounded very cliché, but sometimes clichés can be a good thing! So I opened my Kindle app, and started reading…
