Ondine Quartet by Emma Raveling

Ondine Quartet Collection: Volume 1 by Emma Raveling
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series is very close to my heart as I have read, cried and laughed with the characters since the first installment which I picked up in 2012, on my Birthday.

Whirl starts with our main character Kendra (an Ondine) whom after the death of her mother is picked up by a stranger to land smack bang in the middle of a community and school which her mother ran away from with her as a baby.

Cipher (The Shadow Ravens #1) by Aileen Erin

Cipher by Aileen Erin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Cipher has a very compelling short and it immediately drew my eye. It is not often I see a book which promises a strong female lead that is a Game and Hack wizz on tech department and has special powers!




The described world is futuristic however it has a feel as though the world has crumbled through disaster, almost giving it a post apocalyptic/dystopian air. That being said, the writing makes it a lot less serious/intense then I believe the story could have been.
