Hello lovely ladies!

For the month of April I have received the following:

from KIRI I received:

Down below, she was considered an adult. Now, topside in a town called Salvation, she’s a brat in need of training in the eyes of the townsfolk. She doesn't fit in with the other girls: Deuce only knows how to fight.

To make matters worse, her Hunter partner, Fade, keeps Deuce at a distance. Her feelings for Fade haven’t changed, but he seems not to want her around anymore. Confused and lonely, she starts looking for a way out.

Deuce signs up to serve in the summer patrols—those who make sure the planters can work the fields without danger. It should be routine, but things have been changing on the surface, just as they did below ground. The Freaks have grown smarter. They’re watching. Waiting. Planning. The monsters don’t intend to let Salvation survive, and it may take a girl like Deuce to turn back the tide.

AND:

Mere weeks after confronting the Gilded Ones—the false beings she once believed to be her family—Deka is on the hunt. In order to kill the gods, whose ravenous competition for power is bleeding Otera dry, she must uncover the source of her divinity. But with her mortal body on the verge of ruin, Deka is running out of time—to save herself and an empire that’s tearing itself apart at its seams.

When Deka’s search leads her and her friends to the edge of the world as they know it, they discover an astonishing new realm, one which holds the key to Deka’s past. Yet it also illuminates a devastating decision she must soon make…

Choose to be reborn as a god, losing everyone she loves in the process. Or bring about the end of the world.

From NIM I received a gift card with the instructions to buy whichever book I want, so I bought:

In the heart of Athens, where ancient history meets the present, Sophia arrives to study tourism at a private college. Little does she know, her life is about to take a dark turn. Enter Fotini, a charismatic friend who opens the door to a tight-knit circle, introducing Sophia to the intriguing personalities of her Nasos, Maria, Stephanos, and Nataly.

However, the vibrant Athenian nights take a sinister turn when one of her friends is murdered at a party attended by everyone. As Sophia grapples with the shocking loss, she begins to unravel the intricate web of deceit that shrouds her new friends. In a city known for its myths and mysteries, the boundaries between truth and lies blur, and everyone becomes a suspect.

The Truth is a Lie is a psychological thriller. With every revelation, the story takes unexpected turns, challenging the reader’s perception and trust. As Sophia delves deeper, she discovers that the truth she seeks may be more elusive and dangerous than the lies she thought she knew.

Because you should never trust your friends …
