Authors On Youtube / Top 3

1. Jackson Pearce
Jackson doesn't post on her youtube channel anymore but back in the day, she was one of my favourite authors to watch. She is just fun and bubbly and her video content is always entertaining.
2. Kiera Cass
You might know Kiera as the author of The Selection but she has had her youtube channel since way before that!


3. You really thought I, Chami, could write a post without mentioning Tahereh Mafi? Well you thought wrong because this channel includes the wonderful Ranson Riggs, the author of Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children and Tahereh Mafi, author of the Shatter Me Series. Yes yes, author couple = life goals. They make hilarious videos that don't really focus too much on writing and books as the above authors do, but they are just as good!

She finds herself drawn to Silas, a young woodsman who is deadly with an axe and Scarlett's only friend--but does loving him mean betraying her sister and all that they've worked for

Review:
I love Jackson Pearce- honestly I think she is probably one of the coolest people alive and going into Sisters Red (the first novel of hers that I’ve ever read) I expected to enjoy it immensely, and I did enjoy it.

That being said, I had some issues with this book. This book is about werewolves, and I have nothing against that, however I wasn’t overly keen on Jackson’s take on them. There was just something that didn’t set right with me. Another issue I had was with the biggest plot, from a couple of chapters in I already worked the big secret of the novel and spent most of the novel hoping that I would be wrong.

Character wise, I loved Scarlett March – the badass wolf hunter, and I found her attitude and ambition amazing- she is most definitely my favourite character in the novel. I loved Silas Reynolds- the sweet woodsman, too but Rosie March drove me up the wall at certain parts in the novel. I won’t go into detail as to avoid spoilers, however if you’re interested in discussing this book (or any another) feel free to drop us an e-mail at abooksofathomless@gmail.com
