New #bookreview! "Crown of Feathers" by Nicki Pau Preto. Thank you to the author and Simon Pulse for providing the book at #olasc! . Wow this was a good one! Read my full review at: https://powerlibrarian.wordpress.com/2019/02/15/crown-of-feathers/ (link in bio) . Synopsis Veronyka is a war orphan who was raised by her deceased grandmother and her older sister, Val. Veronyka and her sister are “animages”, and have the ability to communicate with animals. This is not uncommon in the world they live in, but ever since the war their kind have been persecuted. Val and Veronyka want nothing more than to become Phoenix Riders, like the heroes who fought during the war. After a terrible betrayal, Veronyka flees from her sister and finds a sanctuary for her kind, a place where apprentices are being trained as Phoenix Riders. The only catch? If she wants to become a Phoenix Rider–to follow in her parents’ footsteps and become the hero she’s always dreamt of being—she’s going to have to pretend to be a boy. . Pau Preto has packed a lot of world-building into a 477-page book. But it never lags down the plot. Every little thing she mentions–sometimes offhand comments, sometimes more detailed descriptions– all contributes to creating a dynamic and three-dimensional fantasy world that I would kill to live in. Between many chapters the author employs an epistolary-style of writing to provide background into the history and legends surrounding the Phoenix Riders. Not only do these inserts contribute to our understanding of why the world is the way it is and provide interesting little snippets for us history lovers out there, but it actually provides clues as to what’s really going on, making the twists later in the book even more satisfying. . ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ 5/5 stars! . . . #amreading #amreadingfantasy #weneeddiversebooks #booklover #booknerd #bookworm #igreads #read #readersofinstagram #bookstagram #bookphotography #booksbooksbooks #youngadult #fantasy #bibliophile #booksarelife #photography #whyiread #booksharks #onemorepage #simonpulse #goodreads #bookishgirl #bookbabe #ireadpastmybedtime

My library has so many old books. I love exploring the stacks! Too bad I’m mildly allergic to dust.

"Say You're Sorry" by Karen Rose is released today! See my thoughts below. Thank you to @netgalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the advanced reader copy! . Synopsis: When a serial killer targets Daisy Dawson, he doesn't expect her to fight back. But she does, and she manages to grab the locket he wears around his neck during the struggle. This locket connects to a cult that Agent Gideon Reynolds of the FBI escaped when he was only 13 years old. He is driven to find that cult and expose them, saving the women and children from their psychotic leader's tyranny. This serial killer is Gideon's one tangible connection to the cult. He's assigned to Daisy to protect her from the killer and hopefully draw him out. Daisy and Gideon have undeniable chemistry, and Gideon quickly realizes that Daisy isn't as helpless as he thought she was... First thoughts... Say You're Sorry is gripping from the very first lines of the prologue. The concept of the story itself is thrilling. A psycho who kidnaps women and tortures them until they say they're "sorry"? This is what nightmares are made of! Even the backstory of the cult that Gideon escaped as a pre-teen is intriguing and propels the plot forward. . ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ .

New Book review! "Hometown Boys" By Mary Maddox was released January, 2019. Thank you @ryderauthorresources for the book for review! . Synopsis: Kelly Durrell returns home twenty years after escaping the monotony of small-town Morrison. Her aunt and uncle were brutally murdered by her high school boyfriend, Troy Ingram, and he claims that he did it because she broke his heart twenty years ago. Convinced that he's lying, Kelly takes it upon herself to investigate the murders. Some things have changed in the last twenty years, but others have stayed the same. The townies are still vindictive and look down on outsiders, which she herself has become. Will Kelly she be able to find whoever she believes coerced Troy to kill her aunt and uncle before it's too late? . I recommend this story to anyone looking for an intriguing small town mystery that doesn't fit the "cozy" label. It's a complex read with many characters, and while the plot does lag in a few bits, the exciting parts pick up the pace, making this a quick read. .
