Weekly Reading List #185

By Cynthia Bujnicki

Hey there avid readers! I hope everyone is having a fantastic week. It’s just getting hotter her in sunny South Florida which is not agreeing with my pregnancy. I’m even more hot than usual and it doesn’t help that the A/C at my day job it broken to. But I’m taking strides, long strides, to make myself comfortable by, you know, enjoying my days off to read reading in bed. Luckily there’s been a ton of overcast skies lately which only enhances my reading experience.

So, on that note, check out this week’s reading list and remember to stay tuned for reviews. Happy reading!

1. The Last Hope (The Raging Ones #2)

by Krista Ritchie & Becca Ritchie

A stunning conclusion to the sci-fi romance duology by writing duo Krista & Becca Ritchie, The Last Hope is filled with twists and turns you’ll never see coming.

Sacrifice all you have to survive.

Imprisoned for weeks on an enemy starcraft, Franny, Court, and Mykal have sat with an unfathomable revelation. They are human. But as they fight to stay alive, they’re unsure of why or how they’re different. Escaping prison means trusting a young mysterious stranger. He knows everything about their lost histories, but when answers aren’t given freely, the bonded trio are forced to join a mission. One that will determine the fate of humanity.

Legend says, a baby—the first of her species—has the power to cloak and teleport planets. Tasked with retrieving the infant, Court is afraid the baby is just a myth, and if they fail, they’ll never know the truth about their human origins.

As Court and Mykal grow closer, their linked bond becomes harder to hide, and dynamics change when Franny begins to fall for someone new. Vulnerable and with no choice, the hunt for the baby sends the trio on a dangerous path to Saltare-1: a water world where their enemies can’t die and survival comes at a high cost.
