Fantasy (Teen)
Reign of the Fallen by Sarah Glenn Marsh
The cover of this book was absolutely gorgeous and, combined with the intriguing premise, made it impossible for me to not pick this book up. Necromancers, zombie-like monsters…. what more could I ask for? I grabbed a copy from Indigo and set to reading. Synopsis (Goodreads): Odessa is one of Karthia’s master necromancers, catering to the kingdom’s ruling Dead. Whenever a…
A Dead Djinn in Cairo by P. Djeli Clark
I’ve been trying to read more short stories and this was one that I had heard about through a sci-fi recommendation newsletter. It seemed interesting enough and so, I thought I would check it out. I’m so glad I did because it was well worth it! Synopsis (Goodreads): Egypt, 1912. In an alternate Cairo infused with the otherworldly, the Ministry of…
Everless by Sara Holland
If you love teen fantasy, you have probably heard about this book. Every where I look, I hear or see some reference about this book. My bookstagram account is blowing up with posts featuring Everless. All of this attention made me really curious as to what the story was all about – so I decided to go to Indigo and read…
As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti
The first thing that caught my attention with this book was its title. If you have ever watched or read The Princess Bride, then you know EXACTLY what I’m referencing! I for sure thought the author would put that in somewhere in the story. But the story itself is very interesting, and that’s what made me decide to read this book.…
The Library of Fates by Aditi Khorana
When I saw the cover for this book and I read the synopsis, I thought this would be the one for me. However, it failed to please. This story takes place in Shalingar, a kingdom ruled by Princess Amrita’s father. It is an idyllic kingdom, with plenty of resources and a fair and just ruler on the throne. However, when…
The Cruel Prince by Holly Black – Folk of the Air #1
I was so tempted to read this story because of its allusions to the fae. I love anything to do with the fair folk and I never resist the opportunity to read something that takes place in that world. This novel not only had that, but it also had a very interesting story. Here is my review: When Jude was…
The City of Brass by S. A. Chakraborty
I recently decided to try out a subscription book box called Page Habit. It is based in America but ships internationally. What drew me to this subscription company was the fact that they give subscribers new releases that have annotated notes from the author plus all sorts of bookish goodies to enjoy. I also love that they donate part of…
The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand
Merry Christmas! To celebrate this festive holiday, here is a novel that is all about the Christmas spirit! Here is my review: 5 years ago on Christmas Eve, Holly was visited by 3 ghosts who showed her how selfish and spoiled she was to try to get her to mend her ways. She didn’t. And then she died. To atone,…
The Hearts We Sold by Emily Lloyd-Jones
By far, this was one of the most interesting premises for a teen fiction novel that I have seen this month. It reminded me a lot of the tv show Supernatural, which used to be one of my favorite things to binge-watch. Getting a chance to read something similar to it was so exciting! Here is my review: Dee Moreno has…
