A Master of Djinn by P. Djeli Clark
This COVER!!! It’s what initially drew me in, but then the synopsis is pretty amazing as well. Mystery and magic and a gorgeous alternate Cairo. Thanks to Tordotcom for the eARC.

The Councillor by E.J. Beaton
This is another fantasy with a touch of mystery. In this case, a scholar is appointed to choice the new ruler while she also investigates the death of the previous queen. Thanks to DAW for the eARC!

The Ivies by Alexa Donne
I think I’m on a disturbing trend! This is about a group of highly successful teens who will stop at nothing to get into an Ivy League school and apparently that includes murder! I’ve been much pickier about what YA I choose and this one sounded like a nice change of pace from all the fantasy I’ve been devouring. Thanks to Crown for the eARC.

From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
A little break from the murder books. I’ve seen so much about this book series and decided to check it out. It was awful, but I COULD NOT STOP READING. I may eventually pick up the next book when I need a good chuckle. I’ll be posting a review soon!

The Bright and Breaking Sea by Chloe Neill
This was a reallllly fantastic book and I’m glad I picked up the audio copy! I knew I’d never get around to reading the eARC I had and the narration was great and I’ll be keeping on with this series.

The Guest List by Lucy Foley
Annnnd back to murder. This is a contemporary murder mystery set on a remote island off the Irish coast and it occurs at a wedding no less! This is my current audio read and I’m really enjoying it!
