Sumaya Adams

Sumaya Adams is a Cape Town-based book reviewer, literary contributor, and enthusiastic collector of fictional trauma. She spends an unreasonable amount of time reading – sometimes with six books on the go, at once, because apparently one story at a time is far too sensible. She can demolish eight episodes of her favourite series in one sitting and has a particular appreciation for blood, betrayal, monsters, morally questionable characters, and spectacularly bad decisions. When she's not reading or disappearing down one of her many hobby rabbit holes, she's probably got 90s R&B playing somewhere in the background and is emotionally attached to a book that is most certainly going to ruin her life. And somewhere in all of this chaos is, a novel that she's been writing for the past three years, is on its way, one day, but she will need to stop reading, long enough, to actually finish it. Probably.
