Ruinsong by Julia Ember
3.0
I was really excited to pick up this book because I heard such good reviews. Unfortunately, it wasn’t my cup of tea. I couldn’t feel the chemistry between Cadence & Remi. Their relationship alongside everything else in this book was underdeveloped. Because of this, I think it could be a really great series! On the flip side, I really liked the concept and feel like it could have been an amazing series. If you’re looking for a quick read, this is definitely it!
Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller
4.0
This book did not disappoint. I went in with high expectations and left satisfied and wanting more. Although it was a short book, the plot was developed enough to leave room for the duology and I could feel the chemistry between the characters. The sarcasm was perfected and I had my favorite characters from the first sentence they spoke. I recommend buying the duology together because I promise you...you will regret it if you don’t.
Daughter of the Siren Queen by Tricia Levenseller

It’s hard to write a series without dragging it out but I think this was done well. The sarcasm and humor were still there and you could feel the connection between Alosa and Riden. I felt like we could have gotten more with Alosa’s mother and even deeper into Ridens family. Overall I enjoyed this book and recommend this duology to anyone!
Underwater by Marisa Reichardt
5.0
This book is the only book I have encountered so far that I have read over and over again from front to back. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. The character was written so well and you could tell that it was thought out. Her progression through the book was not fast paced and well timed with what she was experiencing. Even at the end, it showed how everything takes time and how a “problem” might never be completely “fixed”. I recommend this to anyone and everyone.
This Is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp

When you read the synopsis of this book…you already know what’s going to happen. At first, I thought it was going to be a back and forth situation from present to past. But the result was even better. It started with it being a normal day, I could hear my heart beating with every page…wondering when the shooter would strike. For me at least, I didn’t expect some of the events that took place and it left me rattled. This book is a very good short read! It definitely got me out of my reading slump and I recommend!
Aftershocks by Marisa Reichardt
3.0
I think my expectations for this book were set too high, since I absolutely loved this authors other book “underwater”. It wasn’t what I expected it to be when I originally read the description. I didn’t feel connected to any of the characters and I didn’t feel the connection between the characters themselves. But I did like the conversations that the main character, Ruby, and Charlie had while stuck underneath the rubble. Some of the conversations were light, while others took a dark turn. I appreciated and liked how the author decided to display the timeline too. It wasn’t complicated. My favorite part was how Charlie’s situation turned out because I didn’t expect it at all. I kept holding out to the end for a different outcome, but when I got to the final chapter, I accepted his fate. I recommend this book to people who are in a reading slump and need a quick and easy read to get them out of it!
