Review: It Ends Here by Heidi Perks

Every once in a while, a thriller comes along that feels… different. Not louder, not twistier, but somehow more human. It Ends Here is exactly that — a mystery that doesn’t rely on shock value or high-speed chaos, but on a quiet, simmering intensity that keeps tightening around you page by page. The premise is already gripping: five strangers receive a phone call telling them that their loved one is inside a café being held hostage.

Book Review: Words of Friendship by Jake Biggin

I was so excited when my ARC request for Words of Friendship by Jake Bigging got approved. The second I saw it, I immediately thought of my most gifted book ever, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy. That book has been a constant companion of mine and one I’ve pressed into the hands of countless friends. So you can imagine how quickly I hit request when Words of Friendship popped up.


I am so glad I did. This little book is whimsical, comforting, and quietly profound. It follows a young girl as she learns about trust, friendship, and most importantly, loving herself. It is full of gentle mantras and bite-sized wisdoms you can actually carry with you into everyday life. They are the kind of reminders you need when you are spiraling or feeling a little lost.


It is not only the words that make it shine. The illustrations are soft, simple, and very effective. The pared-down colors and drawings perfectly match the tone. Nothing is overdone, everything is just enough.


I know for sure that everyone I have gifted Mackesy’s book to will be getting Words of Friendship as well. It feels like a warm hug in book form, one I will return to again and again when I need grounding or a reminder of what really matters.

Without a doubt ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐/5.
