Book Review: Godkiller - Hannah Kaner

-

 

I went into Godkiller off the fact Gavin from 'Gavin Reads It All' said people told him that it was a 'banging' prologue chapter. I was excited by this and as such cracked on with it. 

I was not disappointed. My god it was so good. The prologue was fantastic, I fully reeled me in and made me question what happened in the rest of the book. 

We meet Kissen at the very beginning of the book in the prologue which gives her background and then the rest of the book is in the current day. We follow as Kissen attempts to help Inara. They end up meeting Elogast, one of the King's retired knights. We follow them on their journey to the forbidden city, as this is where they hope they can resolve their issues. 

Instead of helping themselves however, they end up uncovering some hard hitting truths that allow perfectly to lead onto the next book, Sunbringer. Godkiller is very much a world and character building book as the first in the triology and ends on a cliff hanger which I usually hate but this one made me want to read Sunbringer immediately. I didn't, because I don't own Faithbreaker and want to wait for the paperback of that to come out. I will probably reread Godkiller closer to that time and then read Sunbringer immediately after. 

Either way, Godkiller was a fantastic novel and I am so glad I read it. I have read a lot of good books this year already and this is definitely in my top 10 for the year!

5⭐

Book Review: Daydream - Hannah Grace

  Okay, this book hit me hard. It was definitely the best book from the Maple Hills trilogy if you ask me. It captured and held me a lot more than Icebreaker or Wildfire.  Daydream follows Halle as she tries to write her first book and Henry who is struggling with some of his classes. They meet at Halle's book club and start helping each other out. It is definitely friends to lovers which I don't read a lot of, so maybe that is why I enjoyed it so much.  Also, Halle's life is a lot like mine especially in terms of relationships. I had a really sucky first relationship and it struck a cord with me how similar everything was. It was like Hannah Grace was writing a more dramatic version of my life. Even down to the fact that I have met my Henry. He might not be as romantic as Henry Turner but he does a damn good job of looking after me.  I think this book highlights those with neurodiversity and how their brains work differently and how they can struggle to focus. I am ...

Book Reviews: Wild Love - Elsie Silver

Wild Love is the first novel in the Rose Hill Ranch series by Elsie Silver. As with all her books, there are cross overs with characters from previous series and this novel starts with the brother of Willa Grant (Heartless, Chestnut Springs), Ford Grant.  Ford is in the process of opening a new country music studio when he is thrown a curveball with a young girl at his door. Rosie Belmont grew up with Ford but begins the novel in the city working in corporate, when her boss becomes an arsehole she moves home.  The story develops pretty quickly for an Elsie Silver story. She is pretty much the queen of slow burn romance.  I loved this story, I feel like I really vibed with Ford and how he conducted himself throughout the whole book. Rosie did get a bit annoying but I think that's just because I am so relaxed and really don't have the energy for permanent anger, which seemed to be Rosie's main state.  I don't have much more to say about this other than I enjoyed the bo...

Book Review: Collide - Bal Khabra

Collide is the debut novel from Bal Khabra. It is both icy and spicy which is what I like.  I enjoyed the fact that Summer is working on a post-grad because we love a smart gal. Her hatred for ice hockey is also well deserved but I enjoyed watching her romance is Aiden bloom. Aiden is very good at what he does in more ways than one and I appreciate his devotion to his team - even if they are troublemakers.  The book is forced proximity which is always a great trope and leans into the enemies to lovers pretty well too. It takes a long time for Summer to come round to the idea of her and Aiden working together and when she does it doesn't really take long for them to fall for each other, even if they fight it at first.  It is a super romantic book with Aiden always taking the wrap to protect those he values most of all which is a lovely characteristic. I love how Summer comes through to help him in the final couple of chapters too.  Annoyingly, this is quite a difficul...
