Insensate by Rob Pomeroy
This product was recommended by Nathaniel Fried from ROB POMEROY
“His legs and wrists were manacled and his body was held in tension between those four points. He could not move to stretch or adjust position. The cold hard floor beneath him was unforgiving. The wood behind him was rough and splintered. This room was hell’s antechamber.” After a vanishing assailant attacks Jonathan Fenton’s beloved wife, Jon naively embarks on a quest for revenge. A quest that takes him to the very reaches of reality – and beyond. He begins to discover the incredible story of his origin and his particular significance to the people of his world and others.
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
This product was recommended by Ali Rizvi from Dream Superhero
Six of Crows is one of those all-too-rare, unputdownable books that keeps your eyes glued to the page.
The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare
This product was recommended by Snezhina Piskova from Heartifb
Demons! Warlocks! And, of course, Shadowhunters! Cassandra Clare’s masterfully rich world has it all, including a lot of turbulent relationships between characters, friendship, romance, and battles. Enter Clary Fray – a-not-so-ordinary girl on a quest to discover her heritage. Along the way, she is sucked into a vortex of adventures and twisted revelations which are sure to keep you on the edge of your seat, impatient to devour the next book in the series.
Harry Potter Series by J.K.Rowling
This product was recommended by Snezhina Piskova from Heartifb
I am still a firm believer that Harry Potter has all the ingredients required to appeal to any person aged 13 to 30. Who doesn’t love everyone’s favourite young wizard? The story is so well structured and the characters go through such great metamorphoses that the series is a cult classic by now. Even 10 years later, I sincerely recommend to anyone to dive into this world of witchcraft and wizardry and let themselves be swept from their feet with a pinch of magic.
Rebels of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
This product was recommended by M. Ammar Shahid from SuperHeroCorp
Take your imagination to the next level and get your mind out of the pandemic’s illusion. Uncover the mystery of djinns that are believed to be abundant in the deserts of Arab. See how the djinns use barbarism to showcase their hatred and jealousy against God’s superior creation. The language used in the novel is clean and doesn’t contain any vulgar or adult words. So get one copy for yourself, and start exploring the wonders of the fantasy world.
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
This product was recommended by Autumn Blackwood from Triquetra Reviews
Throne of Glass is the first in an epic series featuring an amazingly strong heroine, Celaena Sardothien. There is action, adventure, romance, a compelling storyline, and wonderful characters. Celaena is gritty, sarcastic, tough, yet balances that with feminism that most young adults would love to read about. It’s an extremely popular book, in a very popular series, and for good reason!
