A weekly post in which I pick a book off of my GoodReads want to read list and talk about it. This week’s pick is a long overdue second book in a really interesting series. The first book came out in 2021 and had a lot of hype around it. I hope this one is just as good.
Two reviews for you today, one new book and one book that was published a few years ago. Both were good solid reads, although both were very slow moving at least for me. A Step Past Darkness is a mystery thriller that has a supernatural twist. Endless Water, Starless Sky is the ending of a duology based on the Romeo and Juliet tale.
A review for the new Novella by Veronica Roth, When Among Crows. A riveting dark urban fantasy that takes a look at the themes of redemption, atonement and the things that we fear in life. It is also based on Slavic Mythology and tackles the societal issues of what makes a monster.
A review for the new adult fantasy by Taran Matharu, Dragon Rider. A wonderful book with a fascinating magical system stemming from the bonding with animals. I enjoyed this and am looking forward to the next one.
I really enjoyed this audiobook version of Bride by Ali Hazelwood. This is my first book by this author, but I don’t think it will be my last. I loved this take on Vampyres and Weres and the romance was just smutty enough without going to far.
A review for the YA fantasy A Door in the Dark by Scott Reintgen. This is a survival story that involves magic, has characters that you might not like by the end, and a very intricate magical system and world. The story will keep you guessing till the end about everyone’s secrets.
