Recently I took a trip to London and of course I took a few detours to find some bookshops. I love seeing other people’s hauls so I thought I would share what I picked up.
The Wretched Divine by Adalyn Grace
Blurb:
Aurelie Chantelune was born to serve. Raised as a knight in a kingdom ravaged by demons, she’s spent her life honing her blade, driven by the memory of the monsters who tore her family apart and by the knowledge that she’s one of the few who can stop them.
If Aurelie can claim her first kill, she’ll inherit a legacy passed down through the Chantelune bloodline: a soulbond with Yuriel, an angel whose power is vital to her kingdom’s survival. But when those she loves begin turning into the very monsters she’s sworn to destroy, Aurelie is forced to seek help from the last place she ever imagined. Desperate, she forges a second and far more dangerous bond with Severin, a demon she can hardly trust, but who claims to know how to end the war for good.
With their lives and fates entwined, Aurelie, Yuriel, and Severin must team up to hunt down a cure capable of turning demons back into humans. But the more they learn about one another and the deeper their relationships grow, the more Aurelie begins to question the war and her place in it. With both of her bonded on opposing sides, she’ll have to make a choice: continue to stand with the angels, or risk everything by trusting a demon.
Around the World in 80 Dates by Jasmine Burke
Blurb:
Amorie Grant expected to wake up with a hangover, not viral sensation status. But in the space of a single drunk post, her innermost thoughts on dating became the business of 2.3 million viewers.
Now the barista’s safe, ordinary life has blown up – into something entirely out of her control. Until her video catches the attention of the magazine that inspired her to pursue journalism. Sitting in front of the Editor-in-Chief, Amorie knows it’s time to make her dream come true, by pitching a brand-new dating column: Around the World in 80 Dates.
But, as Amorie embarks on a six-month interrailing adventure, newly contracted to write about her journey to finding ‘the one’, reality hits. She’s never casually dated or, quite frankly, done anything alone. So, when Amorie meets fellow interrailer, Noah, she takes the ultimate gamble. By asking him not just to be Date #1, but her new travel partner meets dating guru.
Travelling together comes with ground rules, of course. Starting with ‘No flirting with each other’ and ending with ‘Separate beds, always.’ Yet, as Amorie hops from train to train and date to date, she finds herself tempted to break every rule…
The Thief and the Traitor Bride by V.L. Bovalino
Blurb:
Nore Gordon is a woman of many talents: she can speak a variety of languages, disguise herself in plain sight, and has made a name for herself as a successful wine merchant. But unbeknownst to those closest to her, it is all a front for Nore’s true role as the favoured spy of the Lindle crown.
Tasked with infiltrating enemy lands in search of a powerful relic, Nore is forced to engage the services of a great thief. Unfortunately, the only person for the job is her estranged husband Caspian. Both Nore and Caspian bear the scars of the disastrous end of their marriage, but if they are to survive their deadly new assignment, they must pose as a happily married couple to avoid detection.
As danger closes in, Nore finds herself tangled in a web of lies and deceit-and though Caspian is at the centre of it all, she may not hate him as much as she once did. But Caspian has betrayed her before, and trust can be far more deadly than deception.
