Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by JK Rowling

The Chamber of Secrets picks up where the The Philosopher's Stone ends.


 

We find Harry on his summer holidays from Hogwarts and having, as we have come to expect, a horrible time back at No4. Much to Harry’s surprise, he’s rescued by the Weasley’s in the middle of the night and whisked away to stay at the Burrow for the remainder of the summer holidays. Can I please spend the summer at the Burrow, too!?

Nothing in this book seems to go smoothly, Harry has a lot to deal with and the story progresses a little deeper and a little darker. We meet the young Lord Voldemort for the first time and learn a little more about Hagrid and why he was expelled from Hogwarts.

This book includes some much loved characters—mainly Dobby—and has some funny and heartwarming moments. As with the first, the tapestry of Harry’s world is richly woven and you’re left wanting more and more.

On to Prisoner of Azkaban we go!

Driven (book one) by K. Bromberg

  You know when you discover something so fantastic you wish you'd known about it your whole life? This is one of those books. I discovered K.Bromberg early into her writing career and haven’t looked back since.   At first when I started reading I thought I knew what kind of book this was going to be. You meet Rylee and you learn pretty quickly she’s a force to be reckoned with. She’s fierce brave and strong and I love that. You get introduced to Colton very early and he appears to be like so many other alpha males in romance books. Oh, how wrong I was. As the story unfolds, you realise that for all his bluster and dirty talk, Colton is a damaged and deeply feeling guy who doesn’t know how to let anyone in. Their chemistry is insane and the push-pull of their relationship will have you longing for more. It’s a deeply emotional story and one that I have read a number of times and fall more in love with each time I read it. It is without a doubt one of the best trilogies out th...

Tears of Tess (Monsters in the Dark #1) by Pepper Winters

“You may not be mine but I'm fast becoming yours” I’ve been on a Pepper Winters dark reads reread lately and I am absolutely loving it. Tears of Tess was the first book of Pepper Winters I ever read. I first heard all about Q from my best friend who happens to share my love of reading. We were having a girls book weekend away and she told me about the book she was reading and how the male lead character was, even for her, crossing lines. I cannot stress enough how much this shocked me, because my best friend does not shock easily—she doesn’t need a trigger warning and I’ve not known her to even wince at the contents of a book before. She has impeccable taste and I’ve got many, many recommendations from here and loved every single one of them so I trust her judgement. Naturally I had to read this book. Before I read Tears of Tess that first time, I hadn’t read true, soul battering dark romance before. Sure there had been some dark elements to previous stories, but it wasn’t dark....

Gabriel's Inferno (Gabriel's Inferno #1) by Sylvain Reynard

“If I have a soul, it's yours.” This is another re-read for me and one that I have absolutely loved. My love for The Professor started way back in 2013 when I read Gabriel’s Inferno for the first time, I’ve reread him many times since then, but as has happened with a lot of my rereads recently, I’ve rediscovered just how much I love them and have found I appreciate them on a much deeper level—perhaps it’s age? Perhaps it’s therapy? I don’t know but I adore it. It’s like discovering them for the first time again in a lot of ways and truly feels like a gift. There are so many reasons I love this series and it’s going to be really difficult to sufficiently put into words just how much this book means to me. You see, when a series has been with you through a really difficult time, for me anyway, it attaches itself to your soul. It becomes a part of you and this series is most definitely a part of me. Gabriel has, since the first time I met him, been one of my top five (possibly top t...
