The Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordan

Image
Yes, I'm back with more Rick Riordan books.  (You know you missed it.) Image found on Google In The Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordan, readers meet a few new interesting characters.  Namely, Lester Papadopoulos, age 16, and his demigod companion (read: master), Meg McCafferty, age 12.  What makes these two particularly interesting is that Lester used to be the mighty Greek god Apollo, before Zeus punished him for all the nonsense that went on with Octavian in the war against Gaea.  (For reference, look back to any of the Heroes of Olympus books.  It's all connected.)  Meg claimed his service, and now Apollo/Lester must follow her commands while trying to fulfill the quests in front of him.  That's right, the god of prophecy is on the receiving end now. Lester tries to reconcile his quickly fading memories and god-status with his teenage body and the fact that not many people seem to care about his problems.  (How dare they!)  At the sa...

Reluctantly Yours by Erin Hawkins

 Thank you to Social Butterfly PR and Erin Hawkins for sending me an e-ARC of this book to read and review!  As always, this review is my honest opinion and can be found on my Goodreads profile as well as this blog. This story is great and the chemistry between Barrett and Chloe is a delight!  Enemies-to-lovers and fake dating are always a great combination of tropes and Erin Hawkins writes them very well.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

Image
  This book has had the book community buzzing since it came out, so I was excited when my turn finally came at the library. In this novel, Addie LaRue makes a deal with the old gods, and in return is cursed. No one can remember her, and she cannot tell them any truths about her life.   Over 300 years Addie finds ways to survive and continue living as something less than human but more than ghost.   And suddenly, she runs into someone she never expected - and he remembers her.   The writing is phenomenal in this book. The perspective flips through the years of Addie’s life, drawing out key moments and bringing the past forward when it unlocks a new moment in the narrative. Addie is delightful and stubborn and so artistic in her soul, leaving crumbs of her self in various “lives” she’s lived.   When presented with her curse and confronted with pain over and over again, she digs in and finds a way forward, something to look forward to, a new thing she’d like to se...
