My undying love for Young Adult books now
reached The Touch of Yellow. This is not out of nowhere, gals, because I have
been planning to feature books here since forever! And now that summer already
started, and you find yourself at the beach without any mobile signal, bringing
a book with you is the greatest internet alternative. So yeah, I have here a
few book recommendations that are perfect to read this summer. Let’s start
with..
Snow Like Ashes Series
If you’re into fantasy, then this one is for
you. Snow Like Ashes has the most unexpected twist ever! And isn’t the title
itself makes it suitable to read this summer? Snow Like Ashes is about
Meira. Meira is an orphan. She is a Winteranian. The Kingdom of Winter was conquered and
its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch. She is in love
with her best friend who also happens to be the future king of Winter. Meira
would do anything to matter, to help her kingdom rise to power again. She is
not just an orphan girl longing for love – she is a warrior, a hero. But the twists
of events leave her wondering what truly her destiny is.
The Siren
The cover is enough for me to choose The
Siren as one of the books to read this summer. It may be a little slow at
first, but it will be good as the story goes on. It’s about Kahlen, a Siren.
She serves the ocean using her voice – it is very powerful that anyone who will
hear it is as good as dead. But when Akinli, a human, enters her world, she
can't bring herself to live by the rules anymore. Suddenly the life she's been
waiting for doesn't seem nearly as important as the one she's living now.
Dorothy Must Die Series
Got no summer vacation plans? Well, the
Dorothy Must Die series will take you to a whole new Kingdom of Oz! Imagining
the Yellow Brick Road and the Emerald City gives me the summer-vibes. This time,
though, the Oz is different. The yellow brick road is crumbling, the Good
Witches can’t be trusted, and the Wicked Witches may just be the good guys. The
then-hero Dorothy Gale is now the enemy. She came back to Oz and wants the
magic all to herself because, well, she saved the kingdom after all. Little did
she know is that there is a new girl from Kansas, Amy Gumm, and the Wicked Witches
are there to train her to fight. And kill Dorothy.
Sweet Temptation / Sweet Trilogy
An extra book from the
perspective of the bad boy, Kaidan Rowe? Why not?! If you haven’t read The
Sweet Trilogy yet, then you better should. The trilogy is about the sons and
daughters of fallen angels. Tenderhearted Southern girl Anna Whitt was born
with the sixth sense to see and feel the emotions of other people. She's aware
of a struggle within herself, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but it isn't
until she turns sixteen and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers
her terrifying heritage and her willpower is put to the test. He's the boy your
daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna.
The Great Hunt
I haven’t read this book yet. But come on, a
book inspired by the Grimm Brothers’ tale “The Singing Bone”? I am so in!
Totally adding it to my TBR list.
Do you have a book that you’d like to
read this summer? I would love to hear some recommendations from you. J
