Gayle's writing is just sooo good. Makes me don't wanna finish the book yet.

Her Dark Curiosity by Megan Shepherd (The Madman's Daughter #2)
I didn't expect I'd like this book. Still not sure what to feel about the ending, though. Review on January 28th!
Read Next:
I'll skim first Pivot Point by Kasie West, then I'll read Split Second (Pivot Point #2).

(The Winner's trilogy #1)
by Marie Rutkoski

Blurb (Goodreads):
Winning what you want may cost you everything you love
As a general’s daughter in a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers, seventeen-year-old Kestrel has two choices: she can join the military or get married. But Kestrel has other intentions.
One day, she is startled to find a kindred spirit in a young slave up for auction. Arin’s eyes seem to defy everything and everyone. Following her instinct, Kestrel buys him—with unexpected consequences. It’s not long before she has to hide her growing love for Arin.
But he, too, has a secret, and Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for a fellow human is much higher than she ever could have imagined.
Set in a richly imagined new world, The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski is a story of deadly games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.
I don't think I'd add this book on my to-wait list but I heard a lot of great things about this it, especially from the people I trusted. So I think I should try (and I'm pretty excited about it)!

I know! Can't wait! :D
DeleteSure, heading to your blog now..
I can't wait to read Split Second. I hope you enjoy it :-)
ReplyDeleteI did! Hope you will too. :)
DeleteJust One Day is on my TBR, and so is Pivot Point. I'm torn on The Winner's Curse. It sort of doesn't sound like something I would like, but on the other hand, it sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteJust One Day and Pivot Point are fantastic reads!
DeleteI'm also hesitant on The Winner's Curse at first, but a lot of people that I trust loved it so I think I should give it a try. :D
I haven't heard of this book, but it sounds really good. I hope you enjoy it! And your bookish updates are awesome. I'm so looking forward to Just One Day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and thanks for stopping by my post earlier. Happy reading!
