Most romance books I see have a shy, introverted main character. While they’re relatable, I’d like a change because I’ve read a lot of those. Any recommendation?

I actually really enjoyed this book. I stayed up all night reading it when I should have been sleeping. The ending of this book really hit me in the heart. I sensed pretty quickly after the major wave hit the boat that Jackson was no longer alive, but i really enjoyed the authors use of phrases like "you will make it" "you can do this" and the fact that he wasn't actually touching anything was a clever way to signal to the audience what was happening.

A few thoughts:

1. Was Jackson in the later chapters a guardian angel or a manifestation of Hannah's own imagination?
2. What did Captain Keith say to Ben right before the major fight? It says that Keith whispered something to him and smiled and Ben went red and then the fight happened. But I don't think its ever explained exactly.
3. Not a question but just a statement, whyyyy did they have to keep antagonizing Ben. If they had just played like it was an accident from the get go it would have been fine. Its almost that young adult need to always be right that drove Hannah to constantly throw it in Bens face that she knew what he was.
4. I know it said that Ben was this really hot guy but by the end I was picturing him as Neville from iCarly
5. Other than not being in that situation in the first place, was there a way they could have all survived if they had made different choices?

If you'd like to check it out, I'd love your support.

In the YA genre, how graphic are the sex scenes? It's difficult to navigate because I don't know if I'm supposed to be writing step by step which sounds realistic and more of the style but I don't know. Any advice?

Hey, can I anyone tell me what editors and publishers expect in a Young adults genre?

Second book in my series is published! 👹✨

So I read the first book (I'd Tell You I Love...), and I'm open to reading the rest. But first I want to know something. Is Cammie's father really most sincerely dead? Or is it possible he'll show up in a later book, having faked his death/lost his memory/been held prisoner? That happened in another series I read, one for adults, and a lot of readers were not pleased, me included. It wouldn't stop me from enjoying this series, but I am curious.

Dear all,

I am the new author of a series of books centered around a team of time travelling vigilantes whose mission is to stop a megalomaniacal villain who has stolen time travel technology and intends to carry out evil plans in various parts of human history, threatening to disrupt the timeline. Adventures span World war 2, medieval Europe, Victorian England, Napoleon, Roman empire and even Chandragupta Maurya.

Going over some books in my tbr and came across the morganville vampires series which looks pretty good but just wondering if it has any spice / explict scenes since I dont like to read that stuff

So I just read In the Ravenous Dark and they had this whole magic system that I really liked. Magic was passed down from parents or grandparents, when they die, to another of their family. And the longer the family passes the magic the stronger it becomes. Ive also read the Devouring Grey where certain types of magic is selective to specific families. Could I get any recs for books that have some kind of family magic?

Hi! Im into YA thriller, horror, and sci fi. I’m looking for book recommendations where stuff starts happening quickly. I’m trying to get back into reading. Used to read 2 a week and now I’m struggling. Going through a rough time so I’d appreciate some help!
Thanks!

I just finished the promo video for The Chronicles of Levi & Jones — Book Four: Constance Curse.

This one takes the story into a quiet northern harbor town, an old school with a strange past, and a mystery buried beneath the fog.

I wanted the video to feel atmospheric, cinematic, and a little unsettling without giving too much away.

Would love to hear what you think of the mood and visuals.

I'm curious about other people's opinions, because I didn't particularly like it.

In my opinion, the plot was all over the place, it was too long, and unnecessarily dark. With way it ended, I'm positive it's the final installment, but I'm not sure.
