Thanks to 4th Estate and NetGalley for the Advance Review Copy in exchange for an honest review.
When I was about 20% of the way through this book I thought to myself “this is one of those amazing books that gets ignored for no good reason” and seeing as it has hardly any reviews I guess I was right.

“Starve Acre” by Andrew Michael Hurley
Thanks to John Murray Press and NetGalley for the Advance Review Copy in exchange for an honest review.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about this author on the Guardian Books Podcast and have some of his books unread on my Kindle. I’ve also seen Book Twitter raving about it so what better excuse to read a spooky book in the fine month of October.
“The Beautiful” by Renee Ahdieh
Thanks to Hodder and Stoughton and NetGalley for the Advance Review Copy in exchange for an honest review.
I for one am SO ready for the Vampire genre to rise from the dead. There’s been a lot of buzz about this book so I was looking forward to sinking my teeth into it.

“Hollow Kingdom” by Kira Jane Buxton
Thanks to Headline and NetGalley for the Advance Review Copy in exchange for an honest review.
When I was a young whippersnapper, I loved reading books from an animal’s point of view. Watership Down, The Animals of Farthing Wood, those weird books where anthropomorphic animals are at war with one another….but short of a few examples of Murakami-esque weirdness, it’s not something I’ve come across very much in adult literature.
“Music and Malice in Hurricane Town” by Alex Bell
Thanks to Little Tiger Group and NetGalley for the Advance Review Copy in exchange for an honest review.
First, I have to apologise for being a bit late with this review. I’ve been unwell recently and there’s been a bit of a domino effect with my reviews falling by the wayside. I do endeavour to complete reviews before publication date but I’m playing catch up this month I’m afraid! If it’s any consolation it has been genuinely stressing me out to see my reviews falling behind.
