Romeo and Juliette but with magic and witches - I thought I would absolutely love this, anit did start out really strong. But I quickly felt it was very repetitive, boring and predictable.

The story starts with Cole, the perfect husband, who's having to rebuild his life after his wife leaves him. I wasn't sure I'd enjoy this story, but you soon learn there's a lot more that's led to this divorce. Very clever story which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I enjoyed the twists in this one. It's a fun YA thriller, and was an easy read, to say you're following three POVs and different timelines.

I really struggled to finish this, but needed resolution. It's slow and repetitive in places, and very bleak.

Interesting idea, of a world grief is forbidden, but it left me wanted more. I wanted revolution. The story seemed to drag, and the ending fell flat for me.

There's a lot going on in this story, but I also found it predictable. I didn't like Henry, and didn't enjoy the romance. Overall, it's a mixed bag.
