What are you currently reading?

When Tea accidentally resurrects her brother from the dead, she learns she is different from the other witches in her family. Her gift for necromancy means she's a bone witch, a title that makes her feared and ostracized by her community. But Tea finds solace and guidance with an older, wiser bone witch, who takes Tea and her brother to another land for training.

In her new home, Tea puts all her energy into becoming an asha - one who can wield elemental magic. But dark forces are approaching quickly, and in the face of danger, Tea will ahve to overcome her obstacles... and make a powerful choice.

What did you recently finish?

One Second After by William R. Forstchen - A man in North Carolina struggles to protect his family and small town when electromagnetic pulse (EMP) strikes the United States. It had a really interesting premise and storyline, but ultimately the writing was dull and boring. One Second After on Goodreads. My rating: ★★

Camp So-And-So by Mary McCoy - Twenty-five girls receive letters inviting them to a lakeside retreat in the Starveling Mountains. Little do they know, things are not what they seem and they will have to fight for their life. OK, I can't mention much of this book without giving away parts of the plot. Suffice to say Camp So-And-So gives off major The Cabin in the Woods vibes. I loved it! Camp So-And-So on Goodreads.  
My rating: ★★★★★

Vox by Christina Dalcher - Set in an America where half the population - women - have been silenced, Vox follows the story of Dr. Jean McClellan who is only allowed to speak 100 words a day and cannot hold jobs or read or write. Jean must test the limits of how far she will go to save herself and her family. Vox isn't good but isn't really bad either. The narrator is annoying and the writing could be improved. I don't recommend it. Vox on Goodreads. My rating: ★★
 

What do you think you'll read next?

I need to finish A Walk in the Woods, which is Bill Bryson's adventure of walking on the Appalachian Trail. I have Nine Coaches Waiting on my Kindle; it's a romantic suspense first published in the 1950s following an English governess who uncovers a plot to murder her charge. I've also been wanting to pick up Illuminae, the first in a sci-fi trilogy following a young couple who break up but then must unite when a war hits their planet. Normally, I'd be wary of books like Illuminae, but it's told through a combination of emails, IMs, medical records, interviews, military files, etc., and it has many good reviews so I'm willing to give it a try.
