Thank you to Fierce Reads and NetGalley for the e-ARC! Lately, I’ve been enjoying books written in verse, so I’m really looking forward to reading this story in this format. I’ve heard incredible things about the author’s writing as well, so I highly anticipate reading this one!
The Monarchs by Kass Morgan and Danielle Paige
The Monarchs is the conclusion following The Ravens, following the sorrority witches at Kappa Rho Nu when rivals threaten their place on campus and their past comes back to haunt them.
This is another ARC from NetGalley that’s been in the queue for a bit! It doesn’t release until January but I think I will read it soon regardless. I enjoyed The Ravens and am curious to see what new elements arise (as well as old conflicts) in the second book.
Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim
Six Crimson Cranes follows Shiori, the only pricess of Kiata, who secretly wields magic. But after her magic is revealed at her betrothal ceremony, Shiori is banished by her stepmother, and her brothers turned into cranes. And if Shiori speaks of this to anyone, her brothers will die. Shiori sets out on a quest alone to find her brothers, destrou the curse, and save the kingdom.
I’ve been hearing such incredible things about this book (as well as Spin the Dawn) and look forward to finally reading Elizabeth Lim’s work! Lately, I’ve been enjoying retellings and incorporations of fairytales and folklore into books, so I can’t wait to see how it’s executed in this book.
Dial A For Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto
Dial A For Aunties follows Meddelin Chan, who calls for the help of her aunts after accidentially killing her blind date. But disposing of the body becomes difficult when it’s inadvertenly shipped in a cake cooler to a luxury wedding that her family is working at, the biggest wedding for their business yet. And the chaos continues when Meddy’s college love makes a surprise appearance.
A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab
A Gathering of Shadows takes place four months after A Darker Shade of Magic. Red London is preparing for the Element Games when a pirate ship draws near the coast, bringing old friends back into port. And while Red London prepares for the competition, another London is returning to life. And for one London to come back, another London must come down.
It’s time to continue with the Shades of Magic trilogy! I really enjoyed the first book and have high hopes for the rest of the series.
Let’s Talk About Love by Claire Kann
Let’s Talk About Love follows Alice, who had her whole summer planned to perfection – until her girlfirend broke up with her when she found out she’s asexual.
