Love Y.A.: Fever Kings, Everlasting Roses and Shadows

It’s the start of a new month and Spring is nearing us! So why not go shopping for books? It’s always a good day when one shops for books.

This week is one filled with fantasy reads, dystopia and some romance mixed in. Enjoy!

The Fever King by Victoria Lee

In this thrilling dystopian, In the former United States, sixteen-year-old Noam Álvaro wakes up in a hospital bed, the sole survivor of the viral magic that killed his family and made him a technopath. His ability to control technology attracts the attention of the minister of defense and thrusts him into the magical elite of the nation of Carolinia.

The son of undocumented immigrants, Noam has spent his life fighting for the rights of refugees fleeing magical outbreaks, refugees Carolinia routinely deports with vicious efficiency. Sensing a way to make change, Noam accepts the minister’s offer to teach him the science behind his magic, secretly planning to use it against the government. But then he meets the minister’s son, who is cruel, dangerous, and achingly beautiful, and the way forward becomes less clear.

Caught between his purpose and his heart, Noam must decide who he can trust and how far he’s willing to go in pursuit of the greater good in this epic tale.

The Everlasting Rose by Dhonielle Clayton

In this sequel to the amazing bestseller The Belles, Camille, her sister Edel, and her guard and new love Remy must race against time to find Princess Charlotte.

Sophia’s Imperial forces will stop at nothing to keep the rebels from returning Charlotte to the castle and her rightful place as queen. With the help of an underground resistance movement called The Iron Ladies-a society that rejects beauty treatments entirely-and the backing of alternative newspaper The Spider’s Web, Camille uses her powers, her connections and her cunning to outwit her greatest nemesis, Sophia, and restore peace to Orleans.

Make sure to read The Belles (it’s worth it!) and check out this novel sure to intrigue.

Shadow Me by Tahereh Mafi

In this companion to the Shatter Me series, Juliette is still reeling from Warner’s betrayal, and Kenji is trying to balance his friendship with her with his responsibilities as leader of the resistance against the Reestablishment. Things get even more interesting when an unexpected person from Omega Point’s past surfaces.

The ending of Restore Me left readers gasping, and this novella full of Kenji’s signature sass and big and big heart is the perfect story to help fans get ready for the next release in this romantic series in summer 2019.
