  So, unless a book in a series is truly awful, I’m the kind of person that is willing to power through – unless the series is more than three books. And I’ll be honestly, my response to Half Bad was lukewarm, I won’t lie, but here we are with the second of the three books Half Wild by Sally Green. Also, if you want the video version (CLICK HERE) This one picks up after the first one, shocking, I know, but the Blurbules of this one starts off by saying that Nathan Byrn is on the run. White Witches hunt him, black witches hate him. His gift from his murderous father is a wild new power he can’t control. He must find the girl he loves who may have betrayed him in a war between black and white witches with his loyalties split between both. The greatest danger Nathan faces might be himself. First of all, awful formatting on the physical version of the book, because that last sentence about how he might be the greatest danger, since there’s no punctuation, I thought that was part of t...

  Besties… I’m afraid the slay has in fact been slain… If you want the video version of this post (CLICK HERE) So, I’m talking about Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune today, and I’ve been very confused about the release schedule of this book. Because I got this as a US import from an indie bookshop – Portal, in York. And I’m not exactly sure when it came out in the UK, but I’ve got it. I was also confused as to what kind of book this was, because I’ve read The Extraordinaries by Klune, and that was YA, but there was a lovely bit in the front of the book saying ‘For Young Adults’, and then ‘For Adults’, with this book in there, so I at least knew I wasn’t getting into YA expecting to get YA. I would also like to mention before anything else that there’s an author’s note in the beginning. It mentions how this book talks about life, death in different forms (including suicide) and grief. And it finishes up by saying, “Please read with care.” So, if that is something that you bel...

  The rumours are true, I’m not the biggest fan of fantasy, unless we’re talking about the Chloe MK EP, or the video game genre, so me reading the fantasy book Half Bad by Sally Green is quite the rarity. This book came to me as a recommendation from a friend, and I had a gift card to a major UK book retailer, so I was like, “Wig, okay. Let’s get it.” And here we are, you’re welcome for the following mess. I will say, this post is going to be very disjoined, and there’s nothing I can do about it. Also, if you want the video version of this post (CLICK HERE) Now, this book doesn’t so much have a blurb as it does a few lines that set up the premise of the book by introducing us to the protagonist, Nathan Byrn. It says, “He’s half white witch, half black witch. His mother was a healer, his father a killer. He’s been kept in a cage since he was fourteen. But if white witches are good, and black witches are evil… What happens if you are both?” So, that set me up thinking that Nathan wa...
