Aurora Rising by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman was a June COYER book club pick and I’d been meaning to get to it. When it was picked for book club it seemed as good a time as any to read it.

I really liked seeing a different dimension to Janine. I also appreciated that Claudia wasn’t the one in trouble this round! There seems to be a trend through […]
