Casts_The Dysasters.jpgP.C. and Kristin Cast, the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of the House of Night phenomenon, return to the scene with The Dysasters—the first action-packed novel in a new paranormal fantasy series.

Adoptive daughter of a gifted scientist, Foster Stewart doesn’t live a “normal” life, (not that she’d want to). But controlling cloud formations and seeing airwaves aren’t things most eighteen year olds can do.

Small town star quarterback and quintessential dreamy boy next door, Tate “Nighthawk” Taylor has never thought much about his extra abilities. Sure, his night vision comes in handy during games, but who wouldn’t want that extra edge?

From the moment Foster and Tate collide, their worlds spiral and a deadly tornado forces them to work together, fully awakening their not-so-natural ability – the power to control air.

As they each deal with the tragic loss of loved ones, they’re caught by another devastating blow – they are the first in a group of teens genetically manipulated before birth to bond with the elements, and worse… they’re being hunted.

Now, Foster and Tate must fight to control their abilities as they learn of their past, how they came to be, who’s following them, and what tomorrow will bring… more DYSASTERS?

The Tea Dragon Society – Katie O’Neill

5 Stars

I was given an eARC by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. 

Oh. My. Goodness. The Tea Dragon Society is Just. Too. Cute.

This adorable graphic story was first published on Tumblr by Katie O’Neill and has been adapted to book form by Oni Press. Unlike most of the books I review, this one has a much younger intended audience.

I stumbled across a page of the comic early on – only three or four pages had been posted by then and was absolutely enchanted. Greta is a part-goblin girl in training to be a blacksmith when she happens upon a tea dragon. The world of tea dragons opens up to her, and The Tea Dragon Society is her journey of discovering the dragons, their keepers, and their history.

As Greta discovers the history of tea dragons and their keepers, The Tea Dragon Society shows the power and rewards of kindness, gentleness, and patience. Even strong blacksmiths can be all of those things.

Additionally, the book features same-sex relationships with about as much fanfare as an apple sitting on the table. I love when same-sex relationships are regarded as mundane – just as normal as any other relationship.

The art is ethereal and cute in a really attractive way. Each page is beautiful and could easily be hung on a wall.

The Tea Dragon Society is a heart-meltingly sweet, beautifully illustrated story of friendship, kindness, and craft and will be published on October 31, 2017.
