Book Review: Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
Published by Henry Holt Books for Young Readers
Out on March 6th, 2018
Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zelie’s Reaper mother summoned forth souls.
But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were targeted and killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope.
Now, Zélie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.
Danger lurks in Orïsha, where snow leoponaires prowl and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zélie herself as she struggles to control her powers—and her growing feelings for the enemy.
p.s. this was my first reaction review.
Be aware and be ready for Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. This book will blow yours and my mind and leave you speechless, especially if you can get your hands on the first six chapters, you’ll understand why I’m a gushing mess…Read More »

Book Review: It Only Happens in the Movies by Holly Bourne
Book: It Only Happens in the Movies
Author: Holly Bourne
Publication: October 1st, 2017.
Publisher: Usborne Publishing
Blurb: Audrey is over romance. Since her parents’ relationship imploded her mother’s been catatonic, so she takes a cinema job to get out of the house. But there she meets wannabe film-maker, Harry. Nobody expects Audrey and Harry to fall in love as hard and fast as they do. But that doesn’t mean things are easy. Because real love isn’t like the movies…
The greatest love story ever told doesn’t feature kissing in the snow or racing to airports. It features pain and confusion and hope and wonder and a ban on cheesy clichés. Oh, and zombies… YA star Holly Bourne tackles real love in this hugely funny and poignant novel.
It Only Happens in the Movies is a really interesting book, my first by Holly Bourne. The title says it all, what the book is going to entail, a realistic approach to how most movie romances are fictitious, dangerous and rarely ever happens that way in reality.Read More »

But oh well, since I’ve not been reading or writing reviews, I feel it’s time to recommend some good West-African, Nigerian books, I’ve read and also come across.Read More »
