Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Jealous of the Clouds
4/5: A mystery with quite a lot of suspense, although strangely, I'm still not quite sure who killed the brother even though this was a prominent part of the story. There was a lot packed into a short...

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Dead Serious with Benefits
5/5: Arlo was the quiet member of the wonderfully messy family featured in this series - and is definitely my favourite. He was so true to himself the whole time, and having dominant parts in his grow...

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Memories in Bone
5/5: A fascinating and unusual story with two MCs finding each other later in life. The world building was outstanding and made an unusual background for this horror/romance book. I'm really impressed...

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Our Bright Window (Our Dark Mirror, #2)
5/5: The second part of a riveting series, with a very slow burn relationship between Vincent and Henry. The whole group has had a lot to learn, particularly about big feelings of loneliness. This mad...

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Grayson's Magical Mishaps
5/5: 4.5 stars. A wonderfully chaotic and messy story, staying just on the right side of too much. This book is much more light-hearted than the others I've read in this series so far. Grayson is sudd...

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Heart Shaped Wreckage

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Andalusia Dogs
5/5: A truly unusual story with beautifully complicated characters. I really had no idea which way the story would go, as there were some very original plot twists. The artistic world was interesting,...

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Sidhe (The Incubus Saga #3)
5/5: 4.5 stars. Part three of an epic urban fantasy series, which was worth every bit of the very long length. Nathan still continued to doubt himself despite the growing support from many beings. His...

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Absolutely Pucked (Punk as Puck 3)
5/5: 4.5 stars. Killian was such a supremely awful character earlier in the series that it felt really unlikely that he could ever be redeemed. I'm so impressed with the author that not only did this ...

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of What Grows Wild (Skin Sessions, #6)
4/5: The sixth part of this unique series. Issan and his greenhouse with unusual new plants added yet another layer to these stories. Lucifer is new on the scene, although he definitely wasn't happy. ...

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Nothing But the Night (Basic Instincts Book 2)

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Bend Him Break Him
