Review Sunday: The Unlovers by M. Salomon
(currently unavailable)
(I was so close to not posting my review because it's currently unavailable but I figured why not! So enjoy)
The Heart #1
Released: 2016
Blurb:
""In a world where love is for sale, everything else lacks value.”
In London, 2040, love is known as OX2 and it has a price, a price that not everyone can pay. Sophie Quinn is lucky, recently she has moved with her family to Upper Thames, the most favored part of the city. They can consume OX2 whenever they want, which enables them to preserve their emotional ties and carry on a relatively normal life; she goes to college and her relationship with James is at its best. However, something is threatening her apparent happiness. The sale of OX2 has generated new social classes and sociopolitical interests that will put her perfect world in danger. Sophie will have to choose whether to fight against love or for it; the days go by, the hours count and her own love has a price. Will she be willing to pay that price in spite of the consequences?"

Review Wednesday: Envious Existence by Katie Keller-Nieman
Envious #3
Released: 2016
Blurb:
"Sometimes love is so strong, not even death can stop it.
The world I thought I understood...
The man I thought I knew...
Nothing is the same.
Sandy spent most of her life in a toxic friendship with a girl who wanted her dead. Finally free, she now has a chance for happiness with the man she loves. Eric is back in her life, and everything should be right between them...but nothing is what it seems.
Eric has been keeping a dangerous secret. One that threatens their lives and the futures of those they love.
A secret that changes everything.
Their world has become a different place, with complex rules and terrifying dangers.
But there is a way out. Their only hope for survival is to make a deal with Aurora. But can Sandy trust the girl who tried to kill her, the girl who still wants her dead?
Love will be tested.
Trust will be broken.
And truths will be revealed."

Review Sunday: The Alfaeren Legacy by Marc Jacobs
The Alfaeren Legacy #1
Released: 2016
Blurb:
"There are some places in Teynia none were meant to go, hiding secrets none were meant to find. But one morning, sisters Kali and Kilyn Middlethird stumbled upon such a place, and uncovered such a secret. They stood before an enchanted Gate left behind by the Álfaerëns long ago to imprison the Spirit, an evil capable of destroying all of Teynia. If only someone had told the Middlethirds about the Gate, they might not have opened it. Now, Teynia’s fate hinged on the Middlethirds, aided by Ice and the wizard Marac, surviving long enough to find the legendary Portal of Worlds, and the lost descendants of an ancient hero hidden somewhere within the Portal. To save their world, they would have to leave it. Their journey would lead them to Earth, where they would have to decipher age-old clues to find what they were looking for. But if Pennsylvania high school senior, Alexandra Castellano, failed to unravel a thousand year old mystery of her own, buried deep within her family name itself, Teynia would be lost to the Spirit, and Earth was next. And none of them would ever find out who they really were…"
