Release date: November 1, 2016 Author info: Website | Twitter Publisher: Delacorte Press Pages: 384 Format: ARC Source: Publisher provided for review Buy the book: Barnes & Noble | Amazon | The Book Depository Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I’m definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won’t be my story. Daniel: I’ve always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store—for both of us. The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true? I thin...

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where we get to share the books we've bought, been gifted, or received for review! Hi! I picked a bad week to come back to blogging. I don't know why I didn't think about it, but everything compouded, and I'm only now getting back to normal. First was my best friend's wedding (!!), then we did holiday changeover at work--which meant overnights--THEN I went to work at another store for a couple of days, which was unexpected and very interesting and also required over 3 hours of driving each day, and then I had a pile of homework to catch up on. Whew! So, now I'll be back to my normal schedule of work and class. ANYWAY, on to the books! I'm pretty proud of the fact that I've not bought a bunch of things! For review: The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid Traveler by L.E. Delano Vanguard by Ann Aguirre Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller The Love Interest by Cale Dietrich The Trut...

There are rebel magisters, as well, and Verity Newton and her magister employer, Lord Henry, know that the only way for the revolution to succeed is if both groups work together. A diplomatic mission seems like the perfect opportunity for them to meet with rebels in other colonies and gather support-right under the governor's nose.  From drawing rooms, ballrooms, and the harbor in Boston to the streets of Charleston, Verity and Henry find themselves up against stubborn factions of both magisters and Mechanics and increasingly aware that they can only really count on each other as their relationship deepens. It may take a real crisis to unite the rebel movements and rally them to t...
