Son of the Salt Chaser is the enthralling sequel to Daughter of the Salt King. Emel must try and remind Saalim of who they were to each other before his memories were altered by her wish. There are new characters to connect with, old threads come back, and Emel struggles to deal with the repercussions of her wish. Emel sets out on a journey of curses, forbidden magic, poison, and royalty as she attempts to reconnect with Saalim. 

Son of the Salt Chaser is a satisfying sequel and finale to the Salt Chasers duology. This is a great high-fantasy duology that would be perfect for readers of S.A. Chakraborty. The worldbuilding of the Salt Chasers is rich and vibrant. I also enjoyed the audiobook, the narrator did a great job embodying Emel and Saalim. I would be curious to see more stories from this world and can’t wait to read more from A.S. Thornton! Thank you so much to A.S. Thornton for sending me a free giveaway copy of her book!

Never Ever Getting Back Together is the hilarious and unputdownable new book from Sophie Gonzales! Skye and Maya have never met, but have both been recruited to compete on a reality tv show where they will reconnect with Jordy, a mutual ex. However, Maya and Skye have different reasons for being there and a complicated past between them. As they uncover the truth about Jordy, their feelings for each other grow too. When the show ends, Skye and Maya must decide how far they want to take their revenge and if their romance can survive in the real world. 

I loved this book! It was so much fun to read and I couldn’t put it down. Maya and Skye are great characters; I appreciated their different reasons for being on the show. The bisexual representation was fantastic and felt realistic. Sophie Gonzales is an extremely witty writer! Her sarcastic banter and dry dialogue is exactly my sense of humor. Maya and Skye have an excellent enemies-to-lovers arc and many adventures along the way! One of my favorite parts was seeing the girls unite vs. Jordy as his true nature is exposed. I can’t wait to read the rest of Sophie Gonzales’ backlist and whatever she writes next! I would highly recommend Never Ever Getting Back Together, especially for fans of Casey McQuiston and Emma Lord. 

Thank you so much to Sophie Gonzales, Wednesday Books, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
