    Feudlings! I did the line edits on that book. I really enjoyed it. The second book, Feudling in Flames, is out in August and I'll have a giveaway for it in late August.

    You got a lot books, I hope you enjoy them.

    I'm so psyched for Never Fade after how The Darkest Minds ended! I hope you love it! Also, enjoy Stung! I read that one a few months ago. It has such a cool idea!

    Have a fabulous week. :)

      Me too Ashley! I must admit, I can't really remember The Darkest Minds so I'm going to have to do a bit of a skim read ;) I hope to start on Stung soon.

      I initially didn't add Transendence to my TBR pile because the cover put me off (I love my covers ;) so I'm really liking this one.

      Thanks Marie, when I received a few of these books for review I didn't recognise them as well, the US & the Aus covers can be so different :)
