#1 ʀᴇᴍᴇᴍʙᴇʀ ᴛʜʏ ᴊᴜᴅɢᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ ᴅᴀʏ

This book is a collection of ten short stories that explores paranormal activities and sinister shadows lurking over the lives of ordinary people like us and ultimately leading to a mind blogging catastrophe

#2 ʜᴏɴᴏᴜʀ ᴛʜʏ ꜱᴏʀᴄᴇʀᴇʀ ᴀɴᴅ ꜱᴏʀᴄᴇʀᴇꜱꜱ

The book starts with a note from the author with title "horror stories based on real events" where at the end the author states that you could have a hearty laugh at the end of every story or get deeply absorbed in the horrors of the unsettled and exactly that's how the book proceeds to be either you shrug them off or keep on pondering about it each story that starts with a specific commandments that gives us the aura of suspence brewing, creating a suspicious aura in the minds of the readers along with spine chilling blend of spooky euphoria

#3 ᴛʜᴏᴜ ꜱʜᴀʟᴛ ɴᴏᴛ ᴀᴠᴏɪᴅ ᴛʜʏ ᴄᴜʀꜱᴇꜱ

Honestly being to much invested in horror movies and books always, I have become immune to these but still I would say the author through his slow burn narrative, the storylines were simple and have created a picturesque of an eerie atmosphere that could be enjoyed by readers and coming to the writing style it was simple and good which can be easily comprehensible by everyone

#4 ᴛʜᴏᴜ ꜱʜᴀʟᴛ ᴍᴜʀᴅᴇʀ; ᴛʜᴏᴜ ꜱʜᴀʟᴛ ᴋɪʟʟ

Overall it was an enjoyable book would recommend to readers who are 18+ and enjoys reading horror stories and also to short stories lovers. A hot cup of black coffee on a lonely and gloomy night and this book: a companion for your solitude

//Book Review//

🌻This book is a cute rom-com that fills one with delight. With a humorous plotline that took a tense turn for our main character Max when he accidentally gets Aaron, our angry basketball player who just wants his underwear back, kicked off the basketball team because of a serious pranked he pulled. This is story of how their animosity turns into attraction and Soon when he have to make a choice between chasing his dreams in Silicon Valley when he gets accepted to a prestigious startup incubator or continuing taking a chance on his growing feelings for Aaron. Reading this book felt like a fluffy college romance with twists like the once I see in k-dramas.

🌈

🌻Like rose garden is filled with thorns so is love it hasn't always been merry for everyone but at the end it is worth trying for because even when it breaks you at the end it will heal you fine like that this book and their story is an amalgamation of sweet, charming and inspiring spheres of life. Honestly the story felt like a movie with some dramatic cliches and I enjoyed reading it.

🌈

🌻I might be one of the few people who loves insta-love trope and was so intrigue that this one has that alongside that the other tropes includes enemies to friends to lovers, sports and tech representations, Chinese-Filipino representation and lgbtq rep (MM) all these threaded together in this enjoyable clean new adult college romance book that I would recommend to anyone who is interested in reading books of the aforementioned tropes.

🌈

🌻Overall this book was an enjoyable contemporary romance book. The narrative was lucid with easy usage of language which also makes it a beginner's friendly. Nicely plotted mild paced story. Some scenes felt a little undercooked but I really enjoyed reading about Max's character and how two of them keep finding themselves tangled in increasingly amusing and bizarre situations all over campus. Will recommend to everyone who loves reading books of this genre.

💖This book falls in the genre of contemporary teen romance fiction and gives us a cute, simple and beautifully written high school love story that is also embedded with innocence, humour and love along with the mental health representation.

💌

💖This book is a perfect blend of cute romance, innocence, their humourous banter revolving around the life our protagonist Jessie who happens to be a Palestinian- Canadian girl trying to navigate her life through high-school and has been recently diagnosed with autism but initially decides to keeps it a secret.

💌

💖Jessie has a keen interest in 90's related stuffs specially music and wants to tick all her list of goals. The story is beautifully written that makes one feel about their time in high school through Jessie' journey in Holy Trinity High. But wait Jessie finds herself in much more drama than she bargained for when two very different boys Levi and Griffin steals her heart. Though I am not a fan of love triangle reading the author her smoothly executed the plot which made it a fun filled, enjoyable read.

💌

💖The plotline was well developed and the character development were nicely portrayed throughout. I really appreciate how the discussion of autism was mindful done throughout the story it was neither abandoned in the first few chapters nor overtly discussed throughout the story but in a very balanced realistic. The whole story progresses like a high school drama which I enjoyed reading and will recommend to everyone who loves reading books with aforementioned reps or trops and also to people who loved books like To all the boys I loved before, The summer I turned pretty

🌒The Last Consort: Escape by Lauren Schultz is the first installment of The Consort series encapsulating a gripping romantic thriller. The story starts with the introduction of the character Patricia, a single mother with troubled past that still haunts her and questions specially regarding her father whose answers stills she seeks. She coincidentally meets with Mr. William Heaton, our other protagonist, a man with many secrets and dark concealed backstory that he still carries buried deep inside him and now living a new life with new identity but still being unable to escape from the consequences of his past actions

🌒Patricia believes William to be the guiding light that may give her the answers to her questions but as the mystery entangles and plot unravels the possibility of finding light in the darkest paths seems unlikely as some past haunts, some past kills but this one can do both alongside the thrill, romance also starts brewing in the heart but whether there will be any happily ever after is the question

🌒I was intrigue from the beginning. The plotline was engaging and the characters were well written. The narrative was rather slow paced which at times felt dragged and exaggerated. The language used was easy and can be easily comprehensible even by beginners. The plotline has a lot of potential. The story is divided into 3 parts, the last part was my favourite because of the elements of thrill and suspense looking forward to the other installments of the story. Overall this book like a roller coaster ride would recommend to readers who love reading romantic thrillers with characters having troubled past.
