This was genuinely awesome. I loved every minute and I really loved the full-blown Irish sass of the main character, Kinch.

A new favourite for my list, to be sure. What's not to love in this adorable cosy fantasy? This lived up to the hype and beyond for me.

This is bizarrely brilliant. I listened to the audiobook and I'm very glad I did because while I don't know how all those names and places are spelled, I'm sure I would've had a canniption trying to pronounce them myself!

There are so many mixed reviews for this, and I don't know what everyone is on about. This is totally awesome and I was completely absorbed from the first to the very last page.

This was absolutely thrilling - 100% fun in all the ways you can expect from Matthew Reilly. I had been so curious as to whether this would live up to his usual standards, seeing as it is quite different to his norm. But this was completely addictive and totally unputdownable, just like all his other stuff.

A fabulous follow up to The Thursday Murder Club! I once again listened to the audio version narrated by Lesley Manville, and I can't recommend it enough. The narration is fantastic and the plot is just as good as the first time around.

So the hype was 100% true and this is probably the best thing you're going to read for a long, long time. To say I'm obsessed would definitely be an understatement.
