Unchosen | 
so-so3✨ I like that this is a zombie book with a different twist. The characters are interesting and likable, and the plot is intriguing too. What I didn‘t like so much was the constant repeating of being the “chosen one”. It caused me to lose interest in the middle. #Scarathlon #BatBrigade @Catsandbooks

Before I do my final count her was my week 2 game for #BatBrigade #Scarathlon @Catsandbooks 91 words, 910 pts. 🥰💛
It‘s actually my husbands cup I realized because the back has his schools mascot. 😅 Oh well, it‘s a hot chocolate type of day today. Still battling this cold. 😞
pickOkay, the writing was solid & this YA story was entertaining. The book is really readable & I had fun doing so. That being said, the underlying cause of the flesh-eating plague that sweeps the world, & the mechanism for stopping it, is a little underwhelming. Like, I couldn‘t helping thinking “That‘s what you‘re going with?” The author makes it mostly work but still…suspending all disbelief & just going along for the ride was key.
Okay last one I promise! 😅 I got an awesome sounding book, reading journal, book sleeve, and annotating things from my good friend @Littlewolf1 🥰💛
pickOverall a great apocalyptic sort of pirate adventure type YA book. It had a unique take on The Chosen One trope which was refreshing and I really liked the MC Charlotte. There was constant action and mystery which kept me on the edge, though I did predict the main plot twists. The romance was done very well and the ending had such a good HEA which once again was unique.
"You will not choose my end, for this heart is mine."
pickOverall, this book was definitely fantastic! There are so many YA novels about plagues, dystopian societies, The Chosen One, etc., but Blair crafted Unchosen in an especially unique way by focusing, not on The Chosen One, but on her sister and putting an emphasis on feminism. Honestly more YA books need themes of feminism in my opinion. This book has everything you could want: a mystical legend, dangerous adventure, and a bad@ss protagonist!
pickOverall Rating 3¾⭐ | Narration😀=Good
The idea behind this is fantastic. Unfortunately, the execution was lacking at times. You are dropped right into the action right from the start, and it barely lets up. So if you prefer something with more action and somewhat fewer explanations/lack of world-building, this may be perfect for you. ⬇ ⬇
Look at this gorgeous cover! 😍 This was a Bookish Box book from a few months ago that got damaged, so it took a while for them to send out new copies to everyone-and it finally arrived! I'm considering painting the page edges purple. 🤔 It also came with this lovely Twilight art print! 📚💕 #bookmail #bookishbox
pickThe heroine is a young woman like in all of my favorite post-apocalyptic novels. The curse and flesh eating humans was an interesting addition. I loved the characters in the novel. Charlotte is determined and strong. She doesn‘t give up and will do anything to protect her family. There is an unexpected love interest.
Thank you Megan Beatie Communications.

pickI‘m not usually into zombie apocalypse dystopia but someone gave this to me so I gave it a try, and I‘m glad I did. This was a lot of fun- very cinematic in a way. I like the world Blair has created, and action pretty much doesn‘t stop. I pretty quick read- like watching a romantic, action-packed zombie movie, complete with sisterly love, forbidden love, and pirates!
Litsy shows one person is reading this. I know NOTHING about it, but man, look at that COVER!! It is gorgeous, creep, intriguing. Yeah, I might have to learn more about this book
