The Marriage Act by John Marrs

 

This dystopian thriller was outstanding! I really like that it alternated between several points of view. Reading this book reminded me of an much more detailed and nuanced episode of The Twilight Zone. I found the near future Britain of the novel disturbing, appalling and fascinating. This is one read which was impossible to put down!

The Dutch Orphan by Ellen Keith

 

 Reading this book was very eye opening as I hadn't really know anything about the German occupation of The Netherlands during WWII. There were many parts which were hard to read because they were so heartbreaking and horrendous. I loved how the bond between friends, family, and citizens was really emphasized. This novel impacted me deeply.

This Delicious Death By Kayla Cottingham

 

  I loved this Young Adult dystopian read! I really liked the idea of a virus causing people to turn into ghouls. I loved the entire the mythology of the Hollowing. This book was a lot of fun to read and I really enjoyed all of the twists that were thrown in.

The Perfect Ones by Nicole Hackett

 

 

 I loved the complex characters and twists in this enjoyable story! Each social media influencer was obsessed with presenting a certain persona to their followers. It was interesting to delve below the artifice to their true thoughts, feelings, and motivations. Very well done!

Homecoming by Kate Morton

 

 

 I loved this epic read! The author's detailed descriptions of locations made me feel like I was experiencing them with her characters. The story was complex, heartbreaking, dramatic and engaging. The twists left me breathless. Very well done!
