Curious Tides by Pascale Lacelle
4.0
Thank you NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for an ARC of the book. All opinions are my own.
Emory is a student at Aldryn College for Lunar Magics where people who possess magic can train and develop their powers. However, there is a caveat—each person who possesses magic can do so when the moon is in the right position for their magic; otherwise they need to resort to bloodletting.
Emory is back for her second year, but this year she needs to figure out how and why her best friend died. Who were the people with whom she had gotten closer? What do they know that she doesn't?
It's a year full of mystery and investigation for Emory. She'll have to join the popular crowd at school and a secret society and she'll need to realise her feelings for the two guys who make her heart beat—her best friend's older brother and the leader of the popular crowd.
However, the secrets that Emory discovers are devastating as they bring back more questions than answers about her past, especially about her mother.
This YA novel was full of adventure and mystery since the beginning. I didn't always liked Emory as I thought she was being dumb quite a few times (especially when the boys were involved), but I could see her grow throughout the book. I'm curious to see what book 2 will bring and the answers about Emory's past.
