You Were Made for This by Michelle Sacks

You Were Made for This
I was deceived by the blurb and thought it was a novel about people. Well, it's a book about monsters and the horrendous crimes they commit. It will make you read fast, hold your breath and pray that nothing bad happens but to no avail because the author has done a great job depicting pure evil in disguise.
There were some pages with vivid descriptions I just couldn't read and it made me wonder what happens behind the closed doors of the houses of some apparently perfect families. It took me several days to get rid of this feeling of restlessness.
If you want to read a true horror story, this is the one.


All We Ever Wanted by Emily Giffin: review.

All We Ever Wanted

This book gives you food for thought and this is what I think:
Social Media has definitely changed our lives, sometimes for the better and other times for the worse. Who would've thought some years ago that sharing personal photos with people we hardly knew would be all the rage? However, I don't think social media is to blame for what happened to this young girl whose picture was taken in an awkward moment. There used to be abusive people before long before WhatsApp. The thing is that now these abusive people have got a new toy.

I liked the novel very much and I would've given it five stars if it hadn't been for the way it ended. I just didn't want to believe (view spoiler).

Brightly Burning by Alexa Donne

Brightly Burning
What a delightful mixture of si-fy and romance. A strong-willed female character with a penchant for unrequited love and a mysterious but utterly attractive captain will certainly remind you of Jane Eyre. I didn't know how much I missed reading novels like this one until I started Brightly burning. A must-read for fans of both genres.
