Review: The Darkest Corners - Kara Thomas - April 2016 One author that I have enjoyed when it comes to YA thrillers is Kara Thomas as I have read quite a lot of her books this year, trying to clear my kindle and eBooks. In the Darkest Corners, we meet Tessa whose father has just died in prison.

#VBT - Get You The Moon - Hasnita Singh - July 2021 I was excited to read this book and as I started it felt great to read as I felt at home. This book was set in Auckland, New Zealand. Being from New Zealand myself, it just felt like I was more invested in this book. The author captured the NZ culture well with sports, academics, and families. In Get You The Moon we have our main character leads Scarlet Bridge and Levi Henare. These two are the top academics at the high school and have been arch-enemies since Year 9/10.

Whereas she feels every move of hers is scrutinized especially since her older brother Sawyer who was once a golden boy ended up being caught in a compromising position with his music teacher and it came out that they had an affair. During this book, Scarlet ends up calling her boyfriend Jack - only for it to ...
