My Review

Last year, when I had the pleasure of reading Starters, I just couldn't wait to get my grubby hands on the next book - it truly did not disappoint! I was chilled, thrilled and seriously excited at the action packed events unfolding in front of my eyes!

It's quite a pacy read, which really worked well in keeping you gripped and always guessing. I loved being surprised at every corner and I sat riveted at those super tense action scenes. Ever twisting and turning this storyline is seriously moreish!

There was some serious character development on Callie's part and I really enjoyed watching her grow, kick ass and work things out. I also really liked her chemistry with some of the secondary characters.

In this instalment we see Callie face her toughest challenges yet...she uncovers some seriously big shockers and also discovers that their chips can be lethal. She fights her way through everything hurled at her and the journey is seriously rocky!

The conclusion was an action packed battle of epicness! I actually wasn't expecting it but really I couldn't of asked for any better. I don't know if there will ever be another book, but there certainly could be....*wink*

Enders is an action packed thrill ride that is jam packed with some seriously shocking revelations! I sat in awe at the edge of my seat at those surprising moments that bowled me over - an all round winner!

4.5 / 5 Stars!

Cuckoo Song by Frances Hardinge - Blog Tour!

Summary from Goodreads The first things to shift were the doll's eyes, the beautiful grey-green glass eyes. Slowly they swivelled, until their gaze was resting on Triss's face. Then the tiny mouth moved, opened to speak. 'What are you doing here?' It was uttered in tones of outrage and surprise, and in a voice as cold and musical as the clinking of cups. 'Who do you think you are? This is my family.' When Triss wakes up after an accident, she knows that something is very wrong. She is insatiably hungry; her sister seems scared of her and her parents whisper behind closed doors. She looks through her diary to try to remember, but the pages have been ripped out. Soon Triss discovers that what happened to her is more strange and terrible than she could ever have imagined, and that she is quite literally not herself.
