Publisher: Delacorte Press
Release Date: November 1, 2016
Pages: 384
My Rating: ★★★★☆ ½
Overall Thoughts: In another incredible contemporary from Nicola Yoon, she explores themes of destiny and love. Main characters Daniel and Natasha are complete opposites, but learn more about themselves, confront tough obstacles and come to bring out the best in each other.

Release Date: October 11, 2016

Overall Thoughts: Adelina’s dark story comes to an end in this fast-paced conclusion. The world does continue to expand in some aspects and the plot definitely keeps you surprised.
3.Blood For Blood (Wolf By Wolf #2)
Publisher: Little Brown Books For Young Readers
Release Date: November 1, 2016
Pages: 481
My Rating: ★★★★☆ ½
Overall Thoughts: The stakes are raised in this conclusion to Wolf By Wolf. The world continues to develop and world/character development play a huge part in this novel. Tone and pacing are quite different than book 1, but Graudin delivers a fantastic plot that will keep you turning the page!
4.The Grift Of The Magi by Ally Carter (Heist Society #3.5)
Publisher: NLA Digital LLC
Release Date: November 1, 2016
Pages: 105
My Rating: ★★★★☆ ½
Overall Thoughts: Readers return to the world of Heist Society in this holiday novella! Kat and her crew come together to save a charity when one of its valuable auction pieces has been stolen! The plot is fast-paced and entertaining! Characters are given great development and the plot, while wrapping up quite quickly in the end, is filled with mystery and surprise!
5.Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Cordova (Brooklyn Brujas #1)
Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire
Release Date: September 6, 2016
Pages: 336
My Rating:★★★★☆
Overall Thoughts: Weaving together Latinx Culture + Urban Fantasy, we follow Alex, a bruja who is unsure if she wants to keep her powers. When a spell makes her family disappear to Los Lagos (a mythical land) she must find a way to bring them back. The world/plot could have used more development, but regardless its a magical story of self-identity and family!
6.Bound By Blood And Sand by Becky Allen (Bound By Blood And Sand #1)
Bound By Blood And Sand Full Review
Publisher: Delacorte Press
Release Date: October 11, 2016
Pages: 320
My Rating:★★★★☆
Overall Thoughts: In a magical desert world water is running out and Jae may be the only one who can bring it back. This novel is filled with remarkably written/developed characters that truly come to life on the page. While the world could use a little more development, both world/plot are fascinating and unique. The little-to-no romance leaves so much room for character/plot development.
