Viv’s second semester at Harker Academy is messier, darker, and so much more compelling than the first. She’s forced into an uneasy alliance with the last person she’d choose, hunted by enemies, and starting to question everything she thought she knew. If you need a refresher, I broke it down chapter by chapter just for you!
If you’ve been sleeping on the Crescent City series, this is your sign to catch up. Bryce and Hunt are separated across worlds, fighting their way back to each other with zero guarantees, and it’s devastating in the best way. It’s a chunky book, but I broke it all down chapter by chapter.
I’m obsessed with morally complex heroines who refuse to be what everyone expects, and Ivy is exactly that. She’s magically bound to a cruel king, secretly plotting his downfall, and suddenly entangled with a deadly reaper who may ruin everything. I’ve summarized every chapter here so you can get caught up when the next book drops.
Not a perfect book, but it’s a rewarding one if you stick with it. Mayah is forced to marry an enemy commander while a rebellion threatens everything around her, and the second half finally delivers on the tension between them. Check out the full chapter-by-chapter summary of Between Tides & Thunder!
Not my favorite read this year, but if gothic atmosphere and a slow-burn romance are your thing, there’s still a lot to enjoy here. A diviner, a heretic knight, and a quest neither of them chose. If you need to catch up before the next book, I’ve got you covered with a full chapter-by-chapter summary.
