Generation Z by Peter Meredith | Book Review
Generation Z is a post-apocalyptic Zombie novel that didn’t hit home with me. It could have been something entirely different if the first half of the novel wasn’t being written solely for the second half. The cover instantly grabbed me, and it looked like it was right down my alley. Just from reading the first chapter I could tell that this series was a spin off from a much larger world and it did feel like I was missing out on a lot of the backstory and the world building in general. Generation Z did the zombie interpretation fantastically. The imagery and the fear were palpable, and I did find…

The Girl With All the Gifts by M.R. Carey | Review
The Girl with All The gifts. I really don’t know why it took me so long to get around to this one because it was simply amazing. I don’t know what I was expecting but this really wasn’t it. I think it made me feel everything so intensely because it was centred around the protagonist, a young child called Melanie. I raced ahead; everything was just so engaging that by the time I reached the end I felt wrought with emotional exhaustion. The zombie apocalypse seen through the eyes of a child. It really was a fresh and interesting take on the zombie novel. I’m a wee bit of a…

Review: The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood
Well I totally feel behind the trend on this one, but I decided to give it a go. It’s been on my TBR for such a long time but I’m really not a hyped book kind of person, so I don’t know exactly what I was expecting. It was an eye opener in a lot of ways. I can see a huge amount of significance and realism in the elements of the book. In such a technologically advanced world I shouldn’t even believe that things could manifest itself into the events of The Handmaid’s Tale, but there you have it. Women have no rights. No sexual rights to do with…

After The Flood by Kassandra Montag
I was provided with this ARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. Wow absolutely blown away Montag’s debut novel. This is a fictional high five to feminism and female centred characters. When the publisher put out a request for bloggers to review this I just couldn’t say no. The cover is artistic and intriguing and if anyone knows me well, they know I’m a huge climate change worrier. This dystopian gem ticked all the boxes and had me hungry for more…just one more page turned into just one more chapter and before I knew it was done. This book is the so unputdownable, it’s got…
