Thank you Netgalley and Ateia Books for this Advanced Reader's Copy in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this collection of Latin Horror stories. As with any collection some will hit better with you than others. Usually of there is a story that just isn't hitting I will DNF that story, but I didn't have anything that I didn't enjoy. Two big standouts for me personally was LUZ Y FER and We are Gathered here Together. Those for me offered the most surprise. I also really liked the story Fidelity, but I feel like it didn't hide the twist very well.. I overall for a short story collection, I would say it's worth picking up if these kind of collections are your thing. I would recommend and I found a couple at those that I would like to explore more of their writing, and for me that is the joy I get from these collections.

Not sure what I was expecting out of this story. I did enjoy it, I just felt overall that for me it was missing something. As the title suggests, this is a mermaid tale where we follow Amelia and her story from her human love to her desire to travel the world.

It was a good read, I had originally DNF'd but wanted to give it another go. The chapters are a bit long, but I feel like once you get out of Maine the story picks up. I probably won't reread this again, but never say never.

Well, that was something else. I have to say, going into this I was worried because of all the hype around this book, but I was thoroughly surprised. I don't often read a book in just 4 days, but I struggled to put this down. Honestly I probably could have finished this sooner if it weren't for the fact that reading makes me sleepy.

I'm a 5 star slut, and I'm giving this 5 stars. The whole time I was on the edge of my seat and I don't want to give away any of the plot, so you get my incoherent rambling, you are welcome.

I know that most people rank Wayward lower than Pines, but I don't get it. This is a great continuation of the story of Wayward Pines and seeing how the town came to be, how it is ran and the operational side of it was so intriguing to me. Ethan is not the most likeable character, but seeing his struggles with his new role, having to walk the line, but also not wanting to shift from his ideals had me just gobbling this up. I can't wait to dive into the last book of the series.

Back into the Expanse and another banger. Not my favorite in the series, but a very satisfying read. I truly love this whole series and this book feels like a perfect wrap up, and we still have 3 books left!

We have our usual cast of characters, some returning characters and a lot of chaos. We follow Holden and Crew as we are dropped into the war that we started in the last book with Marco as the head of the Free Navy. This book also has a ridiculous amount of POV's this time.

As always Avasarala leaves us some great quotes that make me laugh out loud while reading.
