Jamie Dalton writes modern gothic fantasy where the supernatural is never quite what it seems – and falling in love won't make it any better.

Book Review: Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Buckle up, this is a LONG one...

I want to preface this by saying I wanted to love this book. I didn't like Addie (for many of the same reasons I took issue with Bury Our Bones), but I DO love vampires, and I've enjoyed all of Schwab's other work.

As someone with my specific background (psychology and literature), I was mas Read more of this blog post »

Jamie Dalton and 311 other people liked Nicola James's review of Blood Over Bright Haven: "2.5 stars. I have to admit that I was less than impressed with this book. The magic system was cool, but the rest of the book left a lot to be desired. The "big twist" was so obvious that I figured it out in the first chapter and struggled to believe " Read more of this review »
