Midnight Sun – Stephanie Meyer
This book mirrors Stephanie Meyer’s first book – Twilight. Twilight was written from Bella’s point of view and this is written from Edward’s point of view. This felt darker and more intense than the original Twilight book; we know how much Bella loves Edward, and so it’s nice to hear that he loves her just as much, if not more! He is really, intensely obsessed with her, to the point that at times it’s actually almost creepy! Edward’s main internal dialogue of “I love her so much, I’m just totally obsessed but I can’t really have her because I’ll hurt her, so I’ll have to leave, but I don’t know if I’m strong enough, I wish I was strong enough, but I love her so much” is repeated in pretty much every chapter and starts to get a bit grating in the end. Having said that, it’s still a really good read, it’s fun to revisit the original story, seeing it from a different angle, but also there is a lot of extra scenes added that give you extra background information and insight to the other characters and events in the story, and hints at the things that are going to happen in the other books in the series.

The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
I really enjoyed all the twists and turns in this novel. A very original read with a cast of odd characters. Evelyn is murdered numerous times and it is up to Aidan to identify the killer and save her.

The Binding
I read (and reviewed) this book earlier this summer, but decided to re-read it in chronological order (part 2, part 1, part 3) to see if this affected my enjoyment of it I'm glad to say it didn't. In fact, if anyone is struggling to understand the book, as I was when I read it in the order the author has arranged it, just go ahead and read it in chronological order. It works equally well both ways. It's a book worth persevering with and I'd definitely recommend it.

TOUCH THE DARK by Karen Chance
Cassandra Palmer can see the future and communicate with spirits-talents that make her attractive to the dead and the undead. The ghosts of the dead aren't usually dangerous; they just like to talk...a lot. The undead are another matter. Like any sensible girl, Cassie tries to avoid vampires. But when the bloodsucking Mafioso she escaped three years ago finds Cassie again with vengeance on his mind, she's forced to turn to the vampire Senate for protection. The undead senators won't help her for nothing, and Cassie finds herself working with one of their most powerful members, a dangerously seductive master vampire-and the price he demands may be more than Cassie is willing to pay...
