I received this ARC from NetGallery.First of all I want to say that this book gets a trigger warning for domestic violence, gaslighting and I'd say rape by deception. This book also contains some girl hate and gendered slurs.So this book is about Mia who has amnesia. I'm not sure amnesia really wor...
This second book in the "Shattered Worlds" dystopian collection is a mixture of great ideas and disappointing results. This story alternates between two stories, one told by Riley -- a 16 year old girl -- and the other told by a woman named Eleanor. Riley's story takes place roughly 16 1/2 years aft...
The Ghost of Nan Clarks Lane is nice and short.Boland does a nice job of creating the setting, the main characters, and the storyline in only a few thousand words. While there was more backstory that could have been told, there was just enough extra given without there being any fluff to fill in any...
I had just really bland feelings about this one. I thought it had real undeveloped potential, and maybe that had to do with the fact that it was self-published, and needed and editor to push things along a bit. The plot idea was interesting, and the idea of the two narrators could have been dynamic,...

4 sofas to Outside by Shalini Boland! Would have been 5, but just a bit too similar to 'Blood Red Road' by Moira Young for me. Excellent writing though!

Passengers think the boys have been scrumping but when Jimmy opens his shirt … a couple of frogs escape! Next, the reader gets to meet 12 year old Nathan in 2012 as he’s moving out of London ...
This book started strong, I was captivated by Alex's story. About midway I started to lose interest. I felt that the relationship felt rushed and I felt like I was reading a long summary. I think the author had some great ideas just wished I had felt more for the characters and their interactions wi...
The first book in this series, Hidden, was a keeper for me (you can read my review on my blog) and I’ve been looking forward to the next in the trilogy to be published. However, because I enjoyed it so much I did feel a little anxious to see if Boland kept the momentum going.The story opens with Ae...
