Charlotte Blackburn—a beautiful, intelligent, and gifted tinkerer—lives in a cloistered world of wealth and privilege beneath the Electric Tesla Dome that shields survivors of The Great Calamity. But when her father is abducted, and a strange sickness starts transforming men into vicious monsters, she discovers that technology is no protection at all.

Ashton Wells has a dire mission: Secure Colonel Blackburn and deliver his research to The Order of the Sword and Scroll. But the plan goes awry, and he is left with nothing but the colonel’s daughter who has a target on her back and is willing stop at nothing to rescue her father—including handing over to the enemy the only means to stop the monstrous plague.

Branded as traitors, Ashton and Charlotte brave the treacherous floating sky ports of Outer City to hunt down the elusive inventor, Nikola Tesla—the only person able to activate the strange device that harbors the secret to their salvation. With the government closing in, a rebellion brewing in the streets, and terrifying Tremblers attacking the innocent, the two must work together to stop their fragile world from crumbling once more into destruction.

I happened across The Tremblers by Raquel Byrnes as I was scanning through NetGalley and was drawn in by the cover.  When I read the summary, I immediately requested it and it turns out, it was an interesting story and I can’t wait to find out what happens next in this series.

Charlotte Blackburn is the main character and she has grown up in a world of privilege where she has been shielded from the dangers that were a result of The Great Calamity.  When she is forced on the run with a man she doesn’t know to try and find her father, she has to figure out what is more important, saving her father or getting the information behind what is changing people into monsters, into the hands of those who can do something about it.  Charlotte was a well-developed character and I liked her from the moment she was introduced.

Ashton Wells is the man Charlotte escapes with and he has a mission, but it isn’t supposed to include a beautiful young woman.  As an agent of The Order of the Sword and Scroll, he is supposed to find Colonel Blackburn and get his research to The Order.  As he and Charlotte do their best to avoid those that are after them, they face many dangers and must work together to survive.

I liked both Charlotte and Ashton.  Charlotte has been raised by a man who allowed her to be more than just a pretty face in a time when that wasn’t really the norm.  Because of that, Charlotte has some knowledge around creating mechanical tools which comes in handy when she’s on the run and trying to survive.  Ashton has some strong beliefs but eventually he is pushed to face the truth about them and the feelings he has developed for Charlotte.  As they work together to figure out what exactly is causing the sickness and how their actions are impacting the rebellion that is brewing, things unexpectedly take a turn for these two.

Byrnes did a great job building out the world these characters inhabit.  Steampunk is one of those genres that I don’t see a lot of, but I love it when it is done well, and I thought Byrne had a great balance of the mechanics embedded into the actual story.  It wasn’t distracting or unbelievable and that aspect helped keep the story moving forward.

There are a few things going on in this book and while Charlotte and Ashton are the main characters, we also get chapters from the perspective of the “bad guy” which gives the reader a peek into what is going on that is causing the danger as well as what Charlotte’s father found out.  I thought this added an aspect to the story that we would have missed had we only gotten the story from Charlotte and Ashton.  Sometimes I struggle with stories that have varying perspectives because I don’t want to stop reading about what is going on with the main characters, but these inserted chapters didn’t take away from the story at all for me.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I absolutely will pick up the next book in the series when I can get my hands on it.  If you are looking for a story that has a lot of action, a great story, and well-developed characters, consider checking out The Tremblers.  I thought this was a solid book one of this series and will look for more from Byrnes.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the copy in exchange for an honest review.

Happy Sunday ! Have you picked up any new hobbies Happy Sunday ! Have you picked up any new hobbies over the last year? Puzzles are our new thing and we have done a ton of them! I have also taken to cleaning and letting go of all of the things! I used to belong to a ton of book boxes and while I appreciate all the creativity etc that goes into them I just don’t know what to do with all the little items and extras that come in each one - again I love that #illumicrate offers a book only option so that is the only sub box I belong to aside from #botm
.
That said there are some things that I will never give up and have put in my ‘save but stash away’ box- anything #illuminaefiles related is in there!
.
 This is probably one of my most recommended series to just about anyone - both audio and hardcover because you must experience it both ways!

I listened on audio because I’m guaranteed at least an hour of reading time per day (it’s been hard to come by lately!) and also Steve West & Fiona Hardingham so... I am happy to say that i absolutely loved this series (despite my frequent ‘OMG SABAA’ commentary).

I looooove rom com’s so very much so when I saw this title I squeeeeed with excitement because it sounds exactly like what I will love! Check out the summary below and add this one to your #tbrpile
.
Summary:

In this rom-com about rom-coms, in the spirit of Kasie West and Jenn Bennett, a hopeless romantic teen attempts to secure a happily-ever-after moment with her forever crush, but finds herself reluctantly drawn to the boy next door.

Perpetual daydreamer Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away. Now that he’s back in town, Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar—and maybe snag him as a prom date—even befriend Wes Bennet.

The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbor might seem like a prime candidate for romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain in Liz’s butt since they were kids. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet, somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz’s in.

But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have her magical prom moment, she’s shocked to discover that she likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must reexamine everything she thought she knew about love—and rethink her own ideas of what Happily Ever After should look like.

Happy Sunday! What was your last piece of #bookmai Happy Sunday! What was your last piece of #bookmail - I got this lovely arc in the mail recently from @simonteen and I’m looking forward to reading it soon! Summary will be below! Make sure you get this on your #tbrpile if it’s not already!
.
Summary:

In this charming debut fantasy perfect for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and Girls of Paper and Fire, a witch cursed to never love meets a girl hiding her own dangerous magic, and the two strike a dangerous bargain to save their queendom.

Tamsin is the most powerful witch of her generation. But after committing the worst magical sin, she’s exiled by the ruling Coven and cursed with the inability to love. The only way she can get those feelings back—even for just a little while—is to steal love from others.

Wren is a source—a rare kind of person who is made of magic, despite being unable to use it herself. Sources are required to train with the Coven as soon as they discover their abilities, but Wren—the only caretaker to her ailing father—has spent her life hiding her secret.

When a magical plague ravages the queendom, Wren’s father falls victim. To save him, Wren proposes a bargain: if Tamsin will help her catch the dark witch responsible for creating the plague, then Wren will give Tamsin her love for her father.

Of course, love bargains are a tricky thing, and these two have a long, perilous journey ahead of them—that is, if they don't kill each other first.
