The Ones We’re Meant To Find is a beautiful and powerful novel about sisterhood and humanity. As usual, Joan He delivers a clever, thought-provoking, and unpredictable novel. There is such emotional depth to the story and the characters – it’s such a character-driven story, but the world-building and science fiction element doesn’t suffer either. Amazing novel.

Dead Space is a tense science fiction novel that takes place in a remote mining station. Hester has been sent to investigate a murder of an old colleague. I really love intense sci-fi and this ended up being a good one – plenty of twists and turns, artificial intelligence, and bad corporations. Highly recommend if you’re a fan of science fiction.

The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is a magical mystery following an investigation into a woman named Evelyn Hardcastle, who is murdered every night at 11pm. Our main character is a man called Aiden Bishop, who soon discovers he is occupying the body of a guest of the party, and every day he switches bodies to a different guest to repeat the same day, in order to uncover different evidence from another point of view.

The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is one of my first books this year. I’ve been in a nine-month reading slump. Wild. It’s a unique and riveting murder mystery surrounded by a separate magical mystery. It’s also a book about human nature, secrets, and choices.

“So many memories and secrets, so many burdens. Every life has such weight. I don’t know how anybody carries even one.”

The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is a complex book with a complex plot but I did really enjoy seeing it all come together. It’s truly a clever book. Our main character Aiden is likable and I enjoyed reading from his POV, the guests he inhabits are not quite as likable which made for an interesting read, the two personalities clashing.

If you are a fan of mysteries, then I would highly recommend it.
