An Anonymous Girl

In this psychological thriller, questions of ethics and morality swirl around the twists and turns of the plot. You'll find yourself asking who is lying? Who can be trusted? How is Jessica going to extricate herself from the manipulative web of lies that she finds herself?! "An Anonymous Girl" by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen is a fast paced, page turner that will leave you questioning every single character right up to the end.

A Curse So Dark and Lonely

Do you enjoy YA novels? Fairy Tales? Re-tellings of beloved classics? What about Beauty and the Beast? If you answered yes, have I got the book for you! This book had me hooked after the first few chapters. My FAVORITE part of it, was the heroine. You know how usually in these Beauty and the Beast stories the girl is beautiful, kind, perfect in every way? Harper has cerebral palsy, an absent father, a dying mother, a brother that has turned to some shady people to keep their family together... so, when she is essentially kidnapped and taken into an alternate universe, she is NOT happy. She is fierce, determined, and is not making it easy for Prince Rhen to break his curse. The book was really fun and Brigid Kemmerer made the story her own which I loved. So, if you're looking for a fresh take on an old fairy tale, add this to your "to read" list for 2020! Already read it? Comment below with your thoughts.
