Lastly, we are halfway through our Onyx Storm Deep Dives!!! We can’t even believe we’re halfway done with this book 😭 We’ve been loving deep diving with you all and have tons of ideas for what to do after this deep dive ends.

Looking for some new books to read? We’ve got you covered bestie! Here are some of our favorite books and books on our TBR!

Quicksilver

Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen’s reservoirs for as long as she can remember.

Variation

Elite ballerina Allie Rousseau is no stranger to pressure. With her mother’s eyes always watching, perfection was expected, no matter the cost. But when an injury jeopardizes all she’s sacrificed for, Allie returns to her summer home to heal and recover. But the memories she’s tried to forget rush in and threaten to take her under…
