My computer has decided not to connect to the internet, so please excuse any and all typos as I type these on my phone.
I received an ARC of the book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.
A Tale of Two Princes by Eric Geron
This is a charming “what if” story of royal twins separated at birth. Neither knows the other exists, and one has no idea they are even royal, until a chance encounter one day. Now both their lives, and the lives of their families, have been completely turned upside down, and the fate of the monarchy might just hang in the balance.
The characters are endearing, the romances are worth rooting for, and the plot is just whimsical enough (Canadian monarchy, anyone?). There is some homophobia on the part of some side characters, so just be aware of that, but the book as a whole is a celebration of LGBTQA+ self-love and love.
The Drift by C.J. Tudor
I don’t typically go for dystopia books, but this one grabbed me right from the start. At first, you don’t know what has hit the world, only that it is something truly terrible. As readers, we follow three groups of people in three perilous situations, trying to survive. The book is very mysterious as well, which kept me constantly turning pages. Even if you don’t normally go for dystopia reads, give this one a try.
The Pledge by Cale Dietrich
A queer slasher story, this is one scary read. Sam has survived one murder spree, and is now hoping college will give him a chance at a new and normal life-and maybe even some romance. But when his frat brothers start dying around him, Sam realizes evil has found him again.
The author does not hold back with the scares, that’s for sure. The book does get gory at times too. Sam and the characters surrounding him are definitely ones I was rooting for, as was the romance. The reveal was really good as well.
