Recs and Reviews

I honestly recommend every book on this list, I loved every one of them and they are all awesome in their own way, but here is two series (first and reread) and one book that were my Summer List Favs!

The Top Picks

The Inheritance Games series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes was such a fun read!! It is full of riddles, mystery, romance, and puzzles galore. Avery realizes she was left in the will of a billionaire she never knew, surrounded by his family plotting against her. She searches her new mansion for answers with the help of his four grandsons. Invisible ink, Trapdoors, Secret Passages, and even murder. Every page had me gripped, every character was so well-written, and all around I can't stop saying good things about this series that is enjoyable for all ages teen and adult!

Belle's Fav Series

Belle's Fav Book

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros is way worth the hype it has gotten on the internet this year! I could not put this book down; it is seriously addictive. The Rider's Quadrant, Dragons, Battle-Training, Powers, and Rebellions, and Romance--a truly enjoyable fantasy world! Book 2--Iron Fame--comes out in a few months.

Belle's Fav ReRead

The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer! I read this series for the first time my freshman year, and the second time around was even better! Marissa Meyer is so amazing at building such an intricate fictional world while creatively incorporating fairytale stories weaved in. Interplanetary missions, overthrowing the government, and a band of young criminals trying to save the world-- what more can you ask for! The main crew of characters are all so lovable and enjoyable and I had all the feels throughout every page. Every ship in the series is sooo cute (happy giggles guaranteed throughout), but "Captain is King" on my list always:)
