Book Review: When Among Crows by Veronica Roth

 When Among Crows by Veronica Roth

Thanks to Titan Books and Netgalley for the advance reader copy for an honest review.

When Among Crows follows Dymitr who's family is one in a long line of hunters. He is tasked with the deadly mission to find Baba Jaga and to find her he has to ally with those he is sworn to kill. Enter Ala a fear eating Zmora who carries a curse in her families lineage. She has little left to lose and when she is offered the cure from Dymitr she takes up the offer to find Baba Jaga.

Together they make their way through the underworld to find her location but Dymitrs secrets and true intentions start to get in the way.

Overall a short interesting read. However depesite only being 100 odd pages I struggled to get into the story initially.

I was however a fan of the twist at the end of the story.

The character building was good for the length of the book however I think overall the title wasn't completely for me.

Thanks for Reading! 

Book Review: The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley

 The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley

Thank you to HarperCollins UK, Harper Fiction and Netgalley for the advance reader copy of this book for an honest review.

The Midnight Feast follows the opening of The Manor a luxury health and wellbeing resort with no expense spared for the guests staying. However the town itself has a history and old friends and enemies are returning to the manor previously an estate owned by a former local family where the forest is full of secrets.

The Sunday morning of the opening weekend and the police have been called there's been a fire, something is up with the guests and a body has been found.

Lucy Foley knows how to craft an excellent murder mystery and this story is no exception.

Told from multiple perspectives this keeps you guessing at the upcoming twists and turns throughout and just when you think you've figured out one element of the plot there are two more that come through completely unexpected.

I ended up finishing this book within a day of starting it. It definitely got me out of my reading slump.

Quick and fast based with short chapters based on a variety of characters, despite this multiple POV the characters were all easy to follow and the story all wrapped together well answering any and all questions.

Another fantastic Thriller from Lucy Foley and I already can't wait for whatever is next. 

Thanks for Reading!
