A review for the first book in a new dystopian YA trilogy by Matt Eicheldinger. When the Rain Came is a hauntingly vivid story about a young woman’s journey through a flooded world. It is a story of resilience and found family with an otherworldly feel to it.
A review for the newest space romance by Amie Kaufman. Red Star Rebels is a fast paced story of two young adults trapped on a Mars colony which mercenaries are trying hard to blow up. It is a fun and exciting story with an explosive ending. Fans of the author will surely enjoy this one.
A review for the audiobook for a stand alone novel about alternate universes. Game Changer by Neal Shusterman is a thought provoking story about a young football player who keeps being tossed into alternate universes whenever he takes a hit on the football field. This story tackles some important issues of the day.
A review for the new book by coauthors Marissa Meyer and Tamara Moss. The Escape Game is a YA contemporary mystery thriller with very high stakes. The characters are competing for a huge prize in a reality show that features Escape rooms. There are lots of twists to this story but friendship is at its heart.
Here are two fairly short reviews for the last two books I read. I highly recommend both of them. The first, A Judgement of Powers by Benedict Jacka is the third book in the series. It was a great addition to a wonderful urban fantasy. The Crimson Throne by Sara Raasch and Beth Revis is a YA historical fantasy set in Scotland during Queen Mary’s reign. This one is also great and will be a duology.
A review for the fifth and final book in the Edinburgh Nights series. Secrets of the First School is a great ending to this wonderful urban fantasy set in a dystopian future. It features a main character that can talk to ghosts, a fantastical magical system, and a lot of political intrigue.
