Thank you to NetGalley, Megan E. O'Keefe and Orbit for the E-ARC! In Megan E. O'Keefe's new standalone, sci-fi and pirates meet in a story to discover the mysteries shrouded around a cosmic graveyard. Be prepared for action, adventure and surprise attraction that will keep you turning the pages all night long. I discovered Megan E. O'Keefe's works last year and she quickly became my favourite author, so I cannot describe the excitement I had when I received the E-ARC for her new book. O'Keefe continues to do an excellent job of crafting stories that will have you on the edge of your seat, ensuring that everything is wrapped up in a neat bow by the end. She was able to create such a full story with an expansive world and great cast of characters in less than 400 pages. There wasn't a moment while reading that I wasn't invested in what was happening to and around our main characters Faven and Amandine. One thing O'Keefe really excels at is leaving hints for the reader while still leaving you shocked when the mystery is unveiled. There's never a point where things just appear out of nowhere, indicators are always there, whether or not you notice them. Whenever I have the chance to re-read this book, I'm excited to find things I wouldn't have thought anything of in a first read. If you're a lover of sci-fi, I urge you to pick this up on release! You won't find any disappointment in the story O'Keefe has written.

Thank you to Edelweiss, Sue Lynn Tan, and Little, Brown Books for Young Readers for the E-ARC! Sue Lynn Tan spins a magical story that although is inspired by Cinderella is entirely it's own thing. This is the first book I've read by Sue Lynn Tan and it most certainly won't be the last. The author does a phenomenal job of crafting this world, making sure you aren't info-dumped but also not leaving you in the dark. With magics, intriguing strangers, a talking carp, and a stunning Prince, there's so much to this story. I loved exploring the different parts of the main character, Yining's, life, from her normal everyday to the magics presented to her. It's hard not to feel for her and want her to succeed when so much is against her. If you're looking for a magical and breathtaking fantasy world, I recommend you pick this up upon release!

Thank you to NetGalley, Ai Jiang, and Titan Books for the E-ARC! The stunning cover of this book was what drew me in, and the story and main character, Lufeng, is what made me adore it. I went into this book quite blind, and believe that that is the best way to read this book. To avoid any spoilers this review will be brief. Ai Jiang writes a beautiful story, using an entrancing writing style that immerses you into it's world of nature versus machinery. While this book is short, don't worry about it lacking on any of the world building or character development, it does an excellent job of doing both while making you want more. Plus as I said, I loved the main character Lufeng, experiencing and discovering the details of this world with her was such a pleasure! This book was hard to put down and I will be impatiently awaiting the second one! I would highly recommend you pick this up if you're looking for a book that borders on sci-fi and fantasy.

"Funny how there's always someone who does the most but gets no credit, and how that's usually a woman." Thank you to NetGalley, Beth Revis and DAW for the E-ARC! With this book, the Chaotic Orbits trilogy comes to an end and Beth Revis does an amazing job closing out the series. With one last adventure, Ada and Rian must break a lot of laws all in the hopes of saving the world. I don't want to write much in this review for spoiler reasons, but I really had a great time with this book and the series as a whole! I think this final addition to the trilogy adds a lot more depth to Ada's character, and provides amazing banter between the leads. We get the chance to explore and learn a bit more about Sol-Earth, expanding the world we've been in for the last two books. Plus, once again, I had no idea what Ada had up her sleeve (she always has something) and was extremely happy with how everything came together at the end. I'm sad that this trilogy has come to its conclusion, but I'm also excited to re-read it in the future! If Beth Revis ever decides to add more books to this series, I will be first out the door to pick them up!
