Gideon always has a plan. His plans include running for class president, becoming head o the yearbook committee, and having his choice of colleges. They do NOT include falling head over heels for his best friend and next door neighbor, Kyle. It's a distraction. It's pointless, as Kyle is already dating the gorgeous and popular head cheerleader, Ruby. And Gideon doesn't know what to do.
Kyle finally feels like he has a handle on life. He has a wonderful girlfriend, a best friend willing to debate the finer points of Lord of the Rings, and social acceptance as captain of the basketball team. Then, both Ruby and Gideon start acting really weird, just as his spot on the team is threatened, and Kyle can't quite figure out what he did wrong... (Summary from Goodreads)

The princess didn't expect to fall in love -- with her nemesis.
Princess Sepora of Serubel is the last Forger in all the five kingdoms. The spectorium she creates provides energy for all, but now her father has found a way to weaponize it, and his intentions to incite war force her to flee from his grasp. She escapes across enemy lines into the kingdom of Theoria, but her plans to hide are thwarted when she is captured and placed in the young king's servitude.
Tarik has just taken over rulership of Theoria, and must now face a new plague sweeping through his kingdom and killing his citizens. The last thing he needs is a troublesome servant vying for his attention. But mistress Sepora will not be ignored. When the two finally meet face-to-face, they form an unlikely bond that complicates life in ways neither of them could have imagined.
Sepora's gift could save Tarik's kingdom from the Quiet Plague. But should she trust her growing feelings for her nemesis, or should she hide her gifts at all costs? (Summary from Goodreads)
This one I was lucky enough to get as an ARC and it was AMAZING!! I will put that review up soon now that we're closer to October now. But let me just say that it is a #MUSTBUY!

What are you waiting on this week?
I do want to read the Thrones of Glass books as I've heard so many good things. I'm glad she's on book 5 already, that way I can binge these when I finally get to them. :)
ReplyDeleteThey really are very well written as are her other books. I doubt you would be disappointed. I intend on rereading them as a whole when she's done with the series for sure.
DeleteBeen here all along and Nemesis are getting such love on book blogs! Definitely great, original reads.
ReplyDeleteBeen Here All Along is new to me but sounds like one I would like to read. I'll have to check out the other two books, as well.
ReplyDeleteBeen Here All Along is new to me but sounds like one I would like to read. I'm always up for queer books
ReplyDeleteOh my, I'm super excited for Empire of Storms too! I can't wait and I can't focus on any other books because of it so I'm just re-reading the series starting from Throne of Glass right now :)
ReplyDeleteNemesis is on my TBR too and I didn't know about Been Here All Along but it sounds super cute so I'm definitely adding it to my TBR now too :)
