GUEST POST: The Sin Eater's Daughter by Melinda Salisbury

Hello, I’m Steph - a self-confessed Sin Eater’s Daughter superfan. I can’t recommend books without recommending these. If you haven’t read them, here’s 5 reasons why you should:

• The characters – complex, endearing, fearless
• The lands – ruthless, unforgiving, beautiful
• The villains – chilling, dark, compelling
• The covers – striking,  haunting, mesmerising
• The stories – like diving into an old fairytale, mixed with new fairytales; heart-breaking, devastating, incredible

The Sin Eater’s Daughter introduces you to imprisoned Twylla: scared and feared.
The Sleeping Prince brings you Errin; fearless and loving.
The Scarecrow Queen depicts character journeys and destinies reached.

They’re all beautiful stories woven incredibly well.

GUEST POST: Under Rose-Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall

My favourite YA book? Under Rose-Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall, for sure. A recent read for me, but that doesn't affect my love for it.

The instant connection I had with Norah meant that I whizzed through this and couldn't find a single fault with it. It's such an honest, open, real, and raw own voices account of mental health that it's a must read for everyone, whether they're suffering with their own problems or just want to learn a little more about life with agoraphobia and OCD.

GUEST POST: The Makeup of a Perfect "YA Guy"

No guy is perfect, and of course, there's always room for improvement, what girl doesn't want to change her man... even just a little bit? So here's my rundown of what would make up my perfect "YA Guy".

• Kaz Brekker's intelligence
• Jace Herondales's sarcasm and sense of humour
• Rowan Whitethorn's protectiveness
• Rhysand's "skills" in the sack
• Will Herondale's .... well everything!
• Jacob Black's loyalty
• Jamie Fraser's accent
• Damon Salvatore's swagger
• Edward Cullen's romantic gestures
• Four's "brooding moments"

And there we have it, perfection! *swoons*
