New Orleans is not quite the same place it used to be. Between 2005 and 2019, hurricanes Katrina, Isaac, Lorenzo, Olga, Laura, Paloma, and Jésus have wreaked havoc on the city. This would all be repairable, if not for the Delta Fever - a fatal disease that, over time, destroys your blood. Because the disease is extremely contagious, Orleans has been quarantined. The ungoverned peopled from Orleans form tribes based on their blood types in order to strengthen themselves against the disease.
Orleans is the story of one girl and one scientist who attempt to get an uninfected newborn to the outer-states in order to give it a chance for a better life. This book was captivating, but also left a lot of questions unanswered, leaving me somewhat unsatisfied at the end.

Also Known As is the story of Maggie Silver's difficulties balancing high school, a flirtation with Jesse Oliver, and her job as an international spy. When she and her parents move from Iceland to New York City, it is time to start a new case. But this job is different: it's Maggie's first solo assignment, and things don't go exactly as planned
I enjoyed this book immensely and I definitely couldn't put it down! By the end, I was really invested in the characters and the outcome of Maggie's case. The ending is totally unexpected and it simply enhances the 'awesomeness' of the book! I give the author two thumbs up, and I recommend this book to everyone.

Seventeen year-old Nadia lives in a regular world... except that Nadia, her mother, and many other women are witches. In this world, witches study their craft under the noses of everyone else. This may seem like a strange lifestyle, only it gets even stranger for Nadia when her family moves to the small town of Captive's Sound. Immediately upon entering the town, a feeling of dark magic begins to upset Nadia. She takes it upon herself to eliminate this sinister spell.
Spellcaster manages to pull off a great magical story in a modern day world, and is an excellent page turner that I would recommend to anyone!
