I'm always interested in what other people are reading. In fact, some of my favorite conversations are about books. That's why every so often I like to take the time to share the books that have caught my attention. Lately, however, I find myself bouncing around between three series. I've also added a handful of other books to my TBR list, as well, and I'm sharing those at the end of this post.
What are you reading?
Neverland: Chronicles of Red - This is the follow-up series to the two-season Toxic Wonderland saga. I'm currently in book 3, Neverblood. Ira is a fixer who's been trained her entire life to fix whatever has caused Neverland to turn toxic, but when she's not prepared for what she finds once she actually enters the fairytale. Turns out, another tale has invaded Peter Pan's world. Now Ira must gather her crew, master magic, and set Neverland to rights.
The Deadly Seven - The Deadly Seven are a set of genetically-modified siblings. Each has been designed to sense a specific sin and eradicate it, but this family of heroes doesn't have the same agenda as their creator and would-be controller. Instead of killing anyone guilty of sin, they work to curtail it, all while seeking their perfect opposite, their soulmates. I'm currently in book 3, Wrath.
Court of the Underworld - This series is a bit complicated to explain without spoilers, but I'll do my best. The Court of the Underworld is made up of Hades and his inner circle, including Asterion (aka the Minotaur), Medusa, Erebus, Charon, and Hermes. There are some other gods, goddesses, and demigods running around, as well. The Court is being pursued by a group called Pithos, whose mission is to rid the Earth of "monsters." Their attempts at taking out these legends of mythology are thwarted by love. I'm currently in book 3, Hades.
Now for my TBR list. It's still just as out-of-control as ever. There are just too many good books out there to not keep adding to it, and if I don't add them when I see them, I'll forget and possibly miss out on my next favorite story. Anyway, here we go!
Case Files of an Urban Witch - The cover of this boxset caught my attention. It looks a bit like the sorting hat from HP, right? Then I read the blurb and discovered it's about a mother of three who's also a secret agent keeping magic hidden. Talk about a balancing act. I can't wait!
Nature Wizard: Magic of Nasci - If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I love weather witches. So a book about a lightning witch is right up my alley.
Academy of Necessary Magic - First of all, the very first book in this series is called Shifter in the Swamp. If that's not a great title, I don't know what is.
Daughter of the Pirate King - I've been on a pirate kick here lately, and Alsoa seems like the type of protagonist I can really stand behind.
The Desert of Glass (Monument book 2) - I read The Last Monument last year and really enjoyed it. I had no idea there would be a follow-up book, so I have high hopes.
The Half-Life of Ruby Fielding - I absolutely love Lydia Kang's work, and this WWII mystery is sure to be intriguing.
Seven Sins boxset - This showed up in my recommendations after I read the first Deadly Seven book. It's a different premise altogether, though.
Hidden Hope (Hope series book 1) -The blurb on this one doesn't give away much, but it was recommended in one of my online book groups. Plus, this first line is too intriguing: "It all started with a naked man in an alley..."
