volunteering to pick up a movie had just happened on instinct for allison. it was like she heard the phrase “rent a film” and her hand just popped up with the offer to go -- just thinking of that perfect opportunity to visit jamie. it was only in the seconds after that she realized what that would entail, that eric would be there, too.

jamie’s boyfriend.

allison had harbored some tiny suspicions about their relationship when jamie shared that she and eric moved jobs together. but still, ally kept trying to push those thoughts aside. maybe they were just really good friends. yet stacey had more or less confirmed allison’s fears earlier this week when she mentioned eric and his girlfriend. when allison had asked who his girlfriend was, stacey had rolled her eyes with a scoff.

“are you blind? it’s that band geek, jamie whatsherface.”

normally, allison would’ve told stacey she was being rude and that she shouldn’t talk about other people like that. but in that moment . . . she was too busy feeling her heart drop, feeling like the floor had turned to quicksand beneath her feet. it took another remark from stacey to finally snap allison out of her silence, but if asked, she couldn’t remember what else they talked about. her mind went fuzzy, recalling all the times she had seen jamie and eric together at school instead. how could she have been so stupid?

it was in that state that lottie and jay found her, jay excitedly telling allison he had a great idea. his friend colt had been meaning to ask ally out, and, to celebrate the end of finals week, jay thought it would be fun if they all went on a double date. wanting some distraction from her thoughts, ally agreed -- and then immediately regretted her decision. but when jay mentioned a double date / double feature, she quickly offered to pick up the films.

she feels silly standing around family video now -- just waiting for any sign of jamie. but allison knows she’s the reason she had come in the first place, and it would feel even worse to go without talking to her once. no matter what else is going on.

allison’s voice is softer than usual when she finally spots her coming out of the back at last. yet allison can’t help but smile at the sight of her. she’s seen jamie in her uniform so many times by now, but she wears it too well; no other person in town could make a vest with buttons look so dashing and sleek.

❝ hey, jamie, ❞ she greets her warmly, stepping closer without realizing. ❝ how’s it going? ❞ that new feeling of shyness in wake of the news can’t even last long before ally remembers something she’d wanted to ask, however. ❝ oh -- did you have a chance to look at any of the books yet? ❞ hopefully that didn’t sound too nosy, it’s just -- now that they know, she wanted to hear more of jamie’s thoughts. ( @feveredblurs )

#( this got long af setting it up but u know how it goes!!!!! )#( ally's whipped af :/ about to go on a date and still coming here first )#( oh btw these are books if you want to look up! )#( charm and strange by stephanie kuehn/ brides of rollrock island by margo lanagan/ the end games by t.michael martin)#( but also you could make up stuff you know idc LMAO )#( nor would i know )#( i have not read any of these books myself 8) )#feveredblurs #( c: allison )

New Releases

We've got four new YA books on our radar this week! Check out what's on deck for launch this Tuesday:

The Lotus Flower Champion by Pintip Dunn and Love Dunn

It looks like paradise…only it’s not. This was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime family trip to Thailand. One last wish for my dying mama. Instead, we’re stranded on a lush, stunning island with ten strangers—held captive as Thai mythology unfolds around us…and within us.

Now we’re being tested. We’re expected to face our greatest fears—and possible deaths—in hopes of awakening some kind of dormant gift…or curse. One by one, we’re transforming, echoing the strange and sometimes wondrous abilities found in Thai folktales. But my mama has only days to live, my papa is missing, and I’m forced to trust a group of strangers…including our evasive, dark-eyed tour guide, who resembles a minor god. Toss me in the ocean and feed me to the naga now.

Only I’m no hero. My days are managed by numbers and the compulsions that used to keep me safe. I have to prove how far I can go. To survive. To protect my family. And to find a way off this perilous island where everything is a lie…including reality.

Carry My Secret to Your Grave (Murder, She Wrote #2) by Stephanie Kuehn

Small town murders. Big time thrills. The second installment in the suspenseful, modern update of the classic mystery TV series. Perfect for fans of One of Us Is Lying, Sadie, and Gossip Girl.

“Someone knows where you live. And whoever they are, they want you to know… you’re next.” Bea Fletcher never met a cold case she didn’t want to solve. So when she finds herself staying with family near Lake Paloma, she’s torn. Sure, she’s not thrilled to be bunking with her moody, taciturn uncle and his wife while her father’s out of town. Being away from Cabot Cove means less time for Bea to work on her true crime blog, visit her great-aunt Jessica, and spend time with new friends Leisl, Leif, and Carlos and the mysterious underground treasure hunting game they’ve been playing.

But Lake Paloma has mysteries of its own, including the unsolved drowning of teenaged Eden Vicente the year before. And when Bea starts to ask questions about Eden’s death, the answers lead her closer to home than she ever imagined. If Bea isn’t careful, she could be the next girl to end up at the bottom of the lake.

What the River Knows by Isabel Ibañez

Bolivian-Argentinian Inez Olivera belongs to the glittering upper society of nineteenth century Buenos Aires, and like the rest of the world, the town is steeped in old world magic that’s been largely left behind or forgotten. Inez has everything a girl might want, except for the one thing she yearns the most: her globetrotting parents—who frequently leave her behind.

When she receives word of their tragic deaths, Inez inherits their massive fortune and a mysterious guardian, an archeologist in partnership with his Egyptian brother-in-law. Yearning for answers, Inez sails to Cairo, bringing her sketch pads and an ancient golden ring her father sent to her for safekeeping before he died. But upon her arrival, the old world magic tethered to the ring pulls her down a path where she soon discovers there’s more to her parent’s disappearance than what her guardian led her to believe.

With her guardian’s infuriatingly handsome assistant thwarting her at every turn, Inez must rely on ancient magic to uncover the truth about her parent’s disappearance—or risk becoming a pawn in a larger game that will kill her.

The Space Between Here and Now by Sarah Suk

Seventeen-year-old Aimee Roh has Sensory Time Warp Syndrome, a rare condition that causes her to time travel to a moment in her life when she smells something linked to that memory. Her dad is convinced she’ll simply grow out of it if she tries hard enough, but Aimee’s fear of vanishing at random has kept her from living a normal life.

When Aimee disappears for nine hours into a memory of her estranged mom–a moment Aimee has never remembered before–she becomes distraught. Not only was this her longest disappearance yet, but the memory doesn’t match up with the story of how her mom left–at least, not the version she’s always heard from her dad.

Desperate for answers, Aimee travels to Korea, where she unravels the mystery of her memories, the truth about her mother, and the reason she keeps returning to certain moments in her life. Along the way, she realizes she’ll need to reconcile her past in order to save her present.

1, 3, 34 for book ask game!

1. What’s the best book you have ever read?

Well, it’s hard to narrow it down to just one. And it’s hard to me to judge which one I would personally say is the best book I’ve read or which one I just really liked. I’m an incredibly biased person, as you may have noticed. However, I would say that The Smaller Evil by Stephanie Kuehn is an excellent book. There’s probably something you could find wrong with it - indeed, it only has 2.9 stars on Goodreads - but as I can remember, it’s pretty good. Don’t quote me on that if it turns out to be horrible, though. It’s been a while since I’ve read it.

3. What is your preferred genre?

Definitely sci-fi/fantasy! I do like a good mystery or a horror, though.

34. Do you read more than one book at a time?

Sometimes! If I’m in the middle of a series and I find something else that looks good, I might read that alongside. I’m not currently doing that - just getting through The Raven Tower right now.

November 2022 Reading Wrap-Up!

1. A Light Amongst Shadows by Kelley York. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

James is hardly the typical troubled youth who ends up at Whisperwood School for Boys. Instead of hating the strict schedules and tight oversight by staff, James blossoms, quickly making friends, indulging in his love of writing, and contemplating the merits of sneaking love poems to the elusive and aloof William Esher.

2. A Hymn in the Silence by Kelley York. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Since graduating from Whisperwood School for Boys, William has found a sense of normalcy in his life with James. He has a steady (albeit secret) relationship, a home, and a job-even if it doesn't pay the greatest.

3. A Calm Before the Storm by Kelley York. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

James and William’s first Christmas together in their own home ought to be a cause for celebration. But when money is tight, and William is going through withdrawals in an attempt to get off of his laudanum completely, the level of holiday cheer is dismally low.

4. Picture Unavailable by Andrew J. Brandt. ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2

While looking through their sixth-grade yearbooks, Charlie and his two best friends notice that the portrait of their missing classmate has been left blank except for two words: Picture Unavailable. Though Johnny vanished mysteriously, Charlie and company know he was at Westfield Middle School for picture day. Things get stranger when they realize Johnny's image has been purged from the entire yearbook.

5. Because Everything Is Right but Everything Is Wrong by Erin Donohue. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Can you be lost and not know it? Can other people stop you from being lost? Seventeen-year-old Caleb’s world is disintegrating, his walls are closing in, his sky is threatening to fall. He's barely holding on. To deadlines. To friends. To family. To mum. To Pat. But he has Casey.

6. Suicide Watch by Kelley York. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Vincent has spent his entire life being shuffled from one foster home to the next. His grades suck. Making friends? Out of the question thanks to his nervous breakdowns and unpredictable moods. Still, Vince thought when Maggie Atkins took him in, he might have finally found a place to get his life--and his issues--in order. When Maggie dies, it all falls apart.

7. Jolt by Bernard Beckett. ⭐⭐⭐1/2

Marko surfaces from a drug induced haze to find himself hidden from the world in a psychiatric ward. He is certain the 'Doctor' means to kill him, and he in turn has vengeful plans of his own. But how is it he came to stop taking his medication? Who can Marko trust and how much time does he have?

8. Charm & Strange by Stephanie Kuehn. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A lonely teenager exiled to a remote Vermont boarding school in the wake of a family tragedy must either surrender his sanity to the wild wolves inside his mind or learn that surviving means more than not dying.

9. It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ambitious New York City teenager Craig is determined to succeed at life--which means getting into the right high school to get into the right college to get the right job. But once Craig aces his way into Manhattan's Executive Pre-Professional High School, the pressure becomes unbearable. He stops eating and sleeping until, one night, he nearly kills himself. Craig's suicidal episode gets him checked into a mental hospital.

10. The Pigman by Paul Zindel. ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2

When sophomores John and Lorraine played a practical joke a few months ago on a stranger named Angelo Pignati, they had no idea what they were starting. Virtually overnight, almost against their will, the two befriended the lonely old man, and it wasn't long before they were more comfortable in his house than their own. But now Mr. Pignati is dead. And for John and Lorraine, the only way to find peace is to write down the Pigman's story.

11. Ghosting You by Alexander C. Eberhart. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tommy hears dead people. Okay, one dead person. His best friend, Chase. Since his death, Tommy can't stop hearing his voice. They talk every day and Tommy even sends him texts, but it always ends the same. Message failed to send. Until one day, a stranger texts back.

12. Wild Summer by Suki Fleet. ⭐⭐⭐

At fifteen, Christopher falls in love with a boy whose life he saves. But things go wrong and four years later, he wishes he'd acted differently. His conscience begins to haunt him, and he knows he must find Summer again.

13. Monster by Michael Grant. ⭐⭐⭐1/2

It's been four years since a meteor hit Perdido Beach and everyone disappeared. Everyone, except the kids trapped in the FAYZ. Now the dome is gone and meteors are hitting earth with an even deadlier virus. Humans will mutate into monsters and the whole world will be exposed. As some teens begin to morph into heroes, they will find that others have become dangerously out of control... and that the world is on the brink of a monstrous battle between good and evil.

14. As Far as You'll Take Me by Phil Stamper. ⭐⭐⭐

Seventeen-year-old Marty Pierce leaves small-town Kentucky for London, hoping to explore his sexuality and find work playing oboe, but homesickness, anxiety, and his dwindling savings worsen even as his dreams are coming true.

15. The Blue Lawn by William Taylor. ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2

David and Theo are fifteen and sixteen and from very different backgrounds; when they become close friends they must find a way of dealing with the strong physical attraction they feel for each other.

16. Brian's Winter by Gary Paulsen. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Instead of being rescued from a plane crash, as in Hatchet, this story portrays what would have happened to Brian had he been forced to survive a winter in the wilderness with only his survival pack and hatchet.

17. The River by Gary Paulsen. ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2

Because of his success surviving alone in the wilderness for fifty-four days, fifteen-year-old Brian, profoundly changed by his time in the wild, is asked to undergo a similar experience to help scientists learn more about the psychology of survival.

18. Lock & West by Alexander C. Eberhart. ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2

Lock is awkward. He can't make eye contact, counts when he's nervous and has to remind himself several times a day how 'normal' teens behave. Homeschooled most of his life, he's resigned himself to a friendless existence at his new Atlanta high school. Until he meets West.

19. The Catcher In The Rye by J. D. Salinger. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Like many teenagers, 16-year-old Holden Caulfield doesn't really know what he wants to do, although he is sure that he wants to avoid anything phony. It tells the description of Holden's tortured adolescence as he comes to terms with the transition to adulthood and the onset of a nervous breakdown.

Hey Nikki, did John get with one of the blonde girls and now you’re mad but you can’t take it out on her because you’re married

That doesn’t involve me though, and we never had sex

You say shit like I need to fight in this scenario but you’re wrong what is mine was always mine and they can say whatever they want but they’re not me and there is a lot of embarrassment

And there are a lot of them. Yes, if you saw how many of the Stephanie Trash there are you would be like oh my God, John Kuehne that’s not how you spell that but I understand that he’s a pig.

I shouldn’t have ever had to fight for anything that was mine anyway Nikki

You realize that those kind of guys think it’s funny, right just like Nick thought that it would be funny to target me

Well, some of the Asian guys think it’s funny when white women act like trash to try to be something like their sister

Would it be OK if I just said Winston you’re gonna be my new brother can I steal all of your money?

I know you have a couple of sisters who are sluts I’m sorry. Oh, is that crossing boundaries?

How would you feel if you wanted to have

And you were with for a long time exactly and that doesn’t matter to a skank like you, so it doesn’t matter to somebody like Julie to have you killed. I can respect that who needs manners it’s overrated.

And then she’s going to go down to New Zealand and she’s gonna steal all of our boys. Isn’t she right whatever what a joke.

The Nancy’s have their number Dennis has their number. Roger has their number. Stephanie has their number. Nick has their number but I don’t. I think I do indeed I think I do.

Sorry for any miscommunications there ladies I didn’t realize that Kentucky whores would act polite when they wanted to fuck your man

We learn about sociology every day

Indeed Mcguinis? Or Kuehne or whatever yeah, she has to be in because she’ll be killed. I have a feeling she’s gonna get killed anyway.

One of those isn’t that cute I don’t want those kind of people anywhere near a computer to be honest with you guys these are criminals that’s not a lawyer, and she does need to lose her ability to practice actually yeah that’s what you’re supposed to do there is take her ability to practice for committing plagiarism, put her in prison for the rest of her fucking life Yeah that also and let her get raped and then you know if you like that dick so much then let that one guy with a 9 inch dick fuck you in the ass hole all the time.

That’s what the girls are telling me anyway Mcguinis

But I have a feeling that we’re going to get to see my cousin get killed you know Jenny if she’s not already dead I have a terrible feeling somebody’s already killed her and they replaced her with a bad body double

Replaced it Jenny why do you have to go chasing after 11-year-old children? Do we have some information on how intelligent exactly Mcguinis and Jenny are? I know they are not very bright because they mimic me to a T.

And then they try to refine it and if you listen closely to their id ID, yes, as this is kind of a fun part, I heard something that I have not heard before yeah yeah and it was the sound of that silencer OK so I had heard a technically I’m a bad ass little bitch right I was yes ma’am

It’s a good thing that Mark was involved right it might be a good thing. We might’ve been able to protect his daughter or something I don’t know quite exactly what, but you know if you guys know what I mean well you know it seems to me like if Mcguinis and Jenny wanna be like oatmeal, then let them act like fucking provincial oatmeal. They sound extremely unsophisticated.

We have four books on our radar this week. Which of them are on your TBR list?

Echoes of Grace by Guadalupe Garcia McCall Tu Books

A tragic accident in the young lives of sisters, Graciela (Grace) and Mercedes (Mercy) Torres, sets off a chain of events in which Grace flounders to restore her relationship with her sister while swimming against a current of strange, bewildering echoes.

Flashbacks, premonitions, and visitations from the other side all weave a mysterious tapestry that weighs heavily on Grace’s shoulders as she tries to navigate memories of a time three years earlier when she ran away from home and lost a week of her life.

In the present—amidst the mundanities of college homework and dating—Grace tries to figure out if the things happening in her world are memories or premonitions, warnings of things yet to unfold. As she recovers time lost, Grace comes closer to reconciling with Mercy, even as she remembers, bit by bit, the horrible thing that happened to her when she spent a week with her maternal grandmother in Mexico—a grandmother she had been told was long gone.

The things her regained memory reveals shed light on old family secrets. -- Cover image and summary via Goodreads

We Weren't Looking to Be Found by Stephanie Kuehn Disney-Hyperion

Dani comes from the richest, most famous Black family in Texas and seems to have everything a girl could want. So why does she keep using and engaging in other self-destructive behavior?

Camila’s Colombian-American family doesn’t have much, but she knows exactly what she wants out of life and works her ass off to get it. So why does she keep failing, and why does she self-harm every time she does?

When Dani and Camila find themselves rooming together at Peach Tree Hills, a treatment facility in beautiful rural Georgia, they initially think they’ll never get along―and they’ll never get better. But then they find a mysterious music box filled with letters from a former resident of PTH, and together they set out to solve the mystery of who this girl was . . . and who she’s become. The investigation will bring them together, and what they find at the end might just bring them hope.

From award-winning author Stephanie Kuehn comes a breathtaking tale of friendship and healing. Both poignant and timely, We Weren’t Looking to Be Found is complex, hopeful, and heartbreaking all at once.

This Wicked Fate (This Poison Heart #2) by Kalynn BayRon Bloomsbury

Briseis has one chance to save her mother, but she'll need to do the impossible: find the last fragment of the deadly Absyrtus Heart. If she is to locate the missing piece, she must turn to the blood relatives she's never known, learn about their secret powers, and take her place in their ancient lineage. Briseis is not the only one who wants the Heart, and her enemies will stop at nothing to fulfill their own ruthless plans. The fates tell of a truly dangerous journey, one that could end in more heartache, more death. Bolstered by the sisterhood of ancient magic, can Briseis harness her power to save the people she loves most?

The Final Strife by Saara El-Arifi Del Rey Books

Red is the blood of the elite, of magic, of control. Blue is the blood of the poor, of workers, of the resistance. Clear is the blood of the slaves, of the crushed, of the invisible.

Sylah dreams of days growing up in the resistance, being told she would spark a revolution that would free the empire from the red-blooded ruling classes’ tyranny. That spark was extinguished the day she watched her family murdered before her eyes.

Anoor has been told she��s nothing, no one, a disappointment, by the only person who matters: her mother, the most powerful ruler in the empire. But when Sylah and Anoor meet, a fire burns between them that could consume the kingdom—and their hearts.

Hassa moves through the world unseen by upper classes, so she knows what it means to be invisible. But invisibility has its uses: It can hide the most dangerous of secrets, secrets that can reignite a revolution. And when she joins forces with Sylah and Anoor, together these grains of sand will become a storm.

As the empire begins a set of trials of combat and skill designed to find its new leaders, the stage is set for blood to flow, power to shift, and cities to burn.

Two young girls. Two disparate stories. One unlikely friendship.... Dani comes from the richest, most famous Black family in Texas and seems to have everything a girl could want. So why does she keep using and engaging in other self-destructive behavior?Camila?s Colombian-American family doesn?t have much, but she knows exactly what she wants out of life and works her ass off to get it. So why does she keep failing, and why does she self-harm every time she does?When Dani and Camila find themselves rooming together at Peach Tree Hills, a treatment facility in beautiful rural Georgia, they initially think they?ll never get along?and they?ll never get better. But then they find a mysterious music box filled with letters from a former resident of PTH, and together they set out to solve the mystery of who this girl was . . . and who she?s become. The investigation will bring them together, and what they find at the end might just bring them hope.From award-winning author Stephanie
