This week’s topic is Top Ten Tuesday #116: Top 10 hidden Gems in the books I read! I decided not to showcase only one genre but instead create my list with books from the genres I read!
10: The Starling series by Lesley Livingston: Mythology meets 21st century in this tale of mystery, romance and mythical creatures. Although the author is now know with her book "Valiant" I believe that this series is not quite known.
9: Flux by Ellie Carstens: Vikings and aliens mix in this debut novel by Ellie Carstens. The cover is beautiful and the story unique!
8: The Mortal Beloved series by Pamela DuMond: Time-travel, a love that transpires time and space and history mix together in this epic trilogy, which also has been optioned for a TV series! The books are worthy enough to be known more.
7: Ink Series by Amanda Sun: One of the most inspiring books about Japan, the society, the language and the history behins the country! I love the chemistry between the characters, there IS representation of the Japanese as also beautiful calligrapphy inside the pages!
6: Magic Under Glass by Jackie Dolamore: This little gem was one of the first books I've read at the beginning of my blogging days. It's the tale of a singer who meets a magic piano playing automaton. The story is beautifully written and really sweet.
5: Tandem by Anna Jarzab: The multiverse meets parallel worlds in this glorious tale of love, war and secrets. Unfortunately, I haven't read the second book yet and it's now known yet if the third book will be published.
4: A Soul to take by Emily Taylor: Futuristic Victorian-like, society meets Beauty and the Beast/Black Butler in this action packed adventure. You have a kick-ass heroine and a slow burn romance!
3: The Next together series by Lauren James: Reincarnation, an unsolved mystery across centuries and love are the thems of this adventure which combines writing with notes, letters and drawings! It's beautiful, sweet and heartbreaking.
2: Master of Crows by Grace Draven: This author knows how to create amazing worlds and add sweeping romance in it! I love this book, especially because there's so much secrets and the heroine is quite headstrong.
1: The Summer Prince by Alaya Dawn Johnson: One of the most amazing hidden gems out there! Post-apocalyptic worlds, South America, sexual diversity and representation, a heart-breaking romance and GLOWING TATTOOS! Don't you also love the cover?!
