Title: The Lady RogueAuthor: Jenn BennettPublication Date: September 3, 2019Publisher: Simon PulseFormat: NetGalley eARC Goodreads Amazon Book Depository This book had me at Vlad the Impaler.

Title: Challenger DeepAuthor: Neal ShustermanPublication Date: April 1, 2015Publisher: HarperTeenFormat: Kindle Unlimited Goodreads Amazon Book Depository I would read pretty much anything by Neal Shusterman.
