adventurous fast-paced

Genre: YA Fantasy 

Conclusion of a duology where the new queen is cursed and becomes a monster at night. She tries to hide the curse from everyone as she figures out a way to break it. 

Fast paced, easy to read YA book. It had a little romance, where as the first book did not. The focus is on MJ figuring out how to break the curse and a few different budding relationships.  The writing style was very easy to follow and her pacing is always really well done. Cute, HEA conclusion to the series.

Genre: Psychological Thriller 

Synopsis: A man’s wife disappears while he is on the phone with her. As an author, his writing is suffering from the tragic loss. So he goes to a remote island to get inspiration for his next book and try to move on. 


I had mixed thoughts on this one. It is a very slow burn thriller. The first 75% I almost thought it was going to be a magical realism book as it had strange woodsy vibes and I wasn’t sure where it was going. 

Once I got to the twist and things started coming together I liked it and thought it was clever. It has been optioned for a movie and think it might translate better on screen. 

If you are considering to DNF, stick with it because the ending is good!

Genre: YA Thriller

Set in a New England boarding school, a student wakes up to find her roommate & her boyfriend murdered in the next room. When the evidence starts pointing towards her, she realizes it the killer has to be someone they know. 

This is a fast paced thriller. Think a dark Gossip Girl. The chapters are really short, so you can fly through it. It was a little predictable but I like the way the story unfolded and the drama. 

If you have read Jessica’s other books, you will enjoy this one too! 

Thank you Penguin Teen for the ARC!
