Review: Marrow - Tarryn Fisher

Review: Marrow - Tarryn Fisher - April 2016 For most people, they have only really discovered Tarryn Fisher in the later years with her books The Three Wives, The Wrong Family, and An Honest Lie, or with her collab Never Never with Colleen Hoover.  However, some of us keen readers, first discovered her when she started writing her series The Opportunist which is still one of my favourite series. Like her earlier books, Marrow is still in her vein of those books that are considered dark, edgy, and slightly weird and quirky. Marrow is called the body part "Bone Marrow" and features a few times in the book starting with The Bone House where our main female lead Margo Moon lives with her mum and a revolving door of men. Margo hates her home and calls it The Eating House as it devours your soul slowly till there is nothing less and you are left as a shell of your former self.

Review: F*ck Love - Tarryn Fisher - January 2016 Have you ever read a book that is confusing and odd and even after you finish it, you are still left wondering what you read or the point of the story?

Review: Never Never - Part #2 - Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher - May 2015 At the end of Part #1, we learned that Silas and Charlie had loved each other their whole lives and now every 48 hours for the past week they have been losing their memories and going in amnesia mode. They still don't know why it's happening and they seem to be going around in circles and also finding out that they both weren't very nice people towards their loved ones and themselves for the past year. At the end of Part #1, Silas and Charlie got into a mini fight which led Charlie to Bourbon Street, and that's when Silas discovered the journal they had been writing in the past week to help them remember and to refresh their memories of what has been happening and what they have learned so far. What will happen though when Charlie is lost and doesn't know who she is? It looks like she has ended up in a mental ward, but then OMG that ending of where Charlie had been had me...
