so-so3.5 stars
I liked Deal With the Devil, but it fell a bit short of my expectations. The characters were hard to connect to and I wanted lots more worldbuilding to make the story make sense. However, I fell in love with Nina by the end and I want to read the next one in the series.

I had a few problems with this book, but I loved the main character, Kate. Some of the plot points were too easy or too unbelievable. The Atlantis Gene held my attention long enough for me to finish the book, but I won't be continuing with the series.

pick#wakesiren #ovid #ovidresung #ninamaclaughlin Amazing, addictive writing. Such an important book, but major trigger warnings for rape and sexual assault.

I'm still plodding through the Hugos list, which is one reason I'm reading Binti. I love it so far! It has amazing, vibrant worldbuilding and a Star Trek vibe.

pickReally topical book. It's accessibly and entertainingly written. The prose is very list-like though, and that's where it loses something in my eyes. If you can handle the science though, this would be an excellent choice. #symphonyinc #roberthazen #review

1. Do things like DnD count? If not, Cluedo.
2. New Zealand for the Middle Earth stuff.
3. I am not doing reading goals so much any more.
4. Spirit Animals. I thought it was going to be too young, but it's still well-worth a read.
5. Which fictional universe would you like to adopt a child from? (My answer is Panem)

pick*I received this free of charge in exchange for an honest review*
This is a great pick! It's a non-fiction about the author's time as a submariner on a nuclear submarine during the Cold War. It's very readable and so informative. It's an enjoyable read and written really accessibly.
It's not for the faint-hearted though as there are graphic mentions of sex and bodily substances of all kinds. There is also a lot of bad language.
Starting this tonight. #strangepractice #urbanfantasy #paranormal

bailedNot the book for me. If you love fantasy schools and you're looking for something that's on the younger end of YA, you'd like this. #queenofblood #fantasy
