My Week In Books (10th June)

Hello readers! How has your week in books been? I was lucky enough to receive two books I'm very excited about!

The lovely people at Usborne sent me a copy of Being Miss Nobody by Tamsin Winter ahead of something very exciting I'm planning soon. I was also very lucky to receive a signed copy of Day 7 by Kerry Drewery, and I can't wait to read it!

I've only managed to read half of Lord of Shadows this week, it's so big! It's full of angst and sexual tension, and is everything I could want from this series.

REVIEW: After The Fire by Will Hill

“The things I’ve seen are burned into me, like scars that refuse to fade.”
Father John controls everything inside The Fence. And Father John likes rules. Especially about never talking to Outsiders. Because Father John knows the truth. He knows what is right, and what is wrong. He knows what is coming.
Moonbeam is starting to doubt, though. She’s starting to see the lies behind Father John’s words. She wants him to be found out.
What if the only way out of the darkness is to light a fire? (via Goodreads) 

When I went into After The Fire I was apprehensive. It wasn't my usual type of read and I knew it would be tough, but I'd heard a lot of good things about it so I persevered. I'm so glad I stuck with it.

After The Fire is an exploration of faith and humanity, but most of all it is a story of survival. It was a privilege to follow Moonbeam’s story and see her grow into the character I knew she could be. A phenomenal read, and one that will stay with me for a long time to come.

Stars: ★★★★★
