There are tons of young adult romances out there featuring vampires, werewolves, and dark Fae creatures, and while I love those, I’ve recently found myself in the mood for something a little different. Enter The November Girl, a book with a unique premise, diverse principals, and a ton of weighty issues. As soon as I…
The Glass Spare will probably go down as my most unexpected DIK of 2017. Picking it up, I was prepared for a light read that I could enjoy but forget about once I was finished. I didn’t plan to get emotionally invested in the characters, and I certainly didn’t expect to be so impatient for…
Fans of young adult fairytale retellings won’t want to miss Girls Made of Snow and Glass, a feminist take on Snow White set in a land of perpetual winter. The world building is amazing, and the main characters seem to leap off the page. There’s even a hint of a lesbian romance for those looking…
From the moment I heard about An Enchantment of Ravens, I knew I had to read it. It looked like exactly the kind of dark paranormal romance I usually love, and it was every bit as grand a reading experience as I was hoping it would be. Isobel and her family live in the village…

The Dazzling Heights is the sequel to Katharine McGee’s spell-binding The Thousandth Floor. It’s a young adult dystopian novel set in a futuristic New York City completely different from anything I’ve ever imagined. McGee’s NYC is encased in an enormous tower with a thousand stories, and the higher the floor, the richer the residents. One…
The planet Genesis has tried to secede from Earth’s ring of colony planets in order to create an ethical, environmental and religious utopia, but Earth isn’t letting it go without a fight. Thirty years earlier, a vicious war ended in stalemate, but the conflict has resumed. Noemi Vidal is one of her planet’s many teen…
Scarlett Dragna has dreamed of attending the magical and immersive fantasy adventure called Caraval for nearly as long as she’s dreamed of escaping life on her colonial-era island, where her brutal father, the governor, keeps Scarlett and her sister Donatella under lock and key.
