Contagion

by Erin Bowman

The description of this one looks super creepy! I've actually never read this author but this looks like it might be a good place to start! Love a good spine-tingley space story.

Between Frost and Fury

I've been wanting to read this first is this space series, a story of a girl being mistaken for alien royalty. It sounds so good and now book two is out. So do I wait for book three or get started?

Sea Witch
by Sarah Henning

Very excited for this one! I've heard amazing things about it and love all things about sea mythologies, be it sea witches, mermaids, selkies, sirens, etc. So of course this one has been on my must-read list for a long time!

The Darkest Legacy

by Alexandra Bracken

I actually haven't read this series! But it looks amazing and I'm always tempted to start it when a new installment comes out, especially with this being the last. Plus I love Alexandra Bracken's other work!

Lovely, Dark, and Deep
by Justina Chen

As someone with a touch of light sensitivity myself, I can't imagine the struggle of having an extreme case.  Especially as something new to have to cope with after knowing a life in the sun.  This sounds scary and heartbreaking and bittersweet.

The Land of Yesterday

Not YA, but excited for this one! I've started this and the writing is very haunting and beautiful and  I love it so far!  Can't wait to dig in deeper!
