"Some call us heroes. Others call us thieves. I call us liberators." Two pirate siblings. A powerful bartender. A young but prodigy assassin. These are the four who have always been the wonder of their world. Why did José always seem so calm? Where had Priya been hidden this whole time? What had happened to Rynah and Bryken's father? They had lurked in the shadows, prowling like a tiger would on its prey. The insatiable thirst for blood, food money, and most of all, vengeance, had always been looming over them. They had sailed across endless seas, trekked across vast deserts and navigated through the thickest forests, all in their own personal missions for wealth. And yet they all lived like strangers to one another, until a golden opportunity for an impossible heist of justice urges them to join forces and do the impossible: steal the Crown of Fire and 200 billion zeni from the infamous Wolf Estate, guarded by more soldiers than ever deemed possible. Will they come out alive, or will sacrifices have to be made?

The crown is a bruise. The palace is a mausoleum. And the truth? The truth tastes like iron. Astrea is seventeen, she is first in line to the throne of Azuria, and she is done playing the doll. In a world where every move is scripted by "risk assessments" and every smile is a lie, she decides to break the glass. One night. One inkwell of black, toxic ink drunk in front of a stunned court. One desperate escape in a vintage Jaguar. She thought leaving the palace was the hard part. She thought the black stain on her lips was her only scar. But as she stands on the edge of a cliff, looking at the kingdom that tried to erase her, the past catches up. A flash. A bang. Cold gravel against her cheek. In Azuria, they don't just crown you. They hunt you. And Astrea is about to find out that when you're born into a legacy of blood, the only way to write your own story is to bleed for it. They wanted a puppet. They got a wreck. Now, they'll face the monster.

Hey! This is just a place where I'm gonna review mostly YA books, either standalones or series, just basically reviewing whatever I've read recently, so this will be interesting.

"Do you want me to live?" I choke the words out, nearly a sob, head pounding. Maven steps into my cell and this time I do not move away. I stay in my place on the cold ground, waiting to see how he responds. He stops right in front of me, crouching down. He puts a hand out to push the hair out of my face and I let him. He is oddly gentle and an unreadable expression takes over his face. "Of course I do," he finally says, an inkling of pain on his pale face. "And I can have you live." This is my take on what would have happened if Mare chose Maven in the Bowl of Bones. Spoiler Warning: This will contain spoilers from Red Queen and may contain spoilers from other books in the series. ***All characters and anything from the original work belong to the respective author, Victoria Aveyard.*** Thank you for reading! Enjoy! :)

For sixteen-year-old artist Maya, every face tells a story, and the most interesting stories are found in the flaws: the crooked smiles, the unique freckles, the scars that map a life. Her own small scar is a source of insecurity, a detail she wishes she could erase. She's about to find out what happens when that wish comes true. When the new photo-editing app, Elysian, goes viral at Northgate Academy, it promises perfection with a single tap. Its "Perfect" filter smooths skin, brightens eyes, and erases every imperfection, creating flawless selfies that quickly become an obsession. But Maya is unsettled. The faces in the feed are all starting to look the same, and a strange glitch in her own filtered photo shows a face of pure terror where a smile should be. Her unease turns to dread when the filter's effects begin bleeding into reality. Freckles fade. Distinguishing beauty marks vanish. Her classmates' faces start to take on a waxy, uncanny perfection, their unique features literally being erased overnight. The app is more than just code; it's a predator. It can't be deleted, it watches its users through their own cameras, and it punishes those who resist. When her best friend is consumed by the app's sinister code and her biggest rival is left a horrifying, featureless "blank," Maya knows she is next on the list. Hunted by an ancient, vain entity called the Curator that has found the perfect modern vessel, Maya must fight back. With the monster's influence spreading through every screen and every student, her only weapon is the one thing the app cannot comprehend: the messy, beautiful, and unapologetic power of human imperfection. Can she use her art to remind a world obsessed with perfection what it means to be real? Or will her own face become the final piece in the Curator's flawless, terrifying collection?
