Vivian Apple At The End Of The Word By Katie Coyle
The only reason this book is on my radar is because it was a part of theTumblr’s Reblog Book Club. Vivian Apple is set in a modern day America where a corporate leaning evangelistic church, The Church Of America, has taken over the country.
One morning dutiful daughter and all around good girl Vivian Apple wakes up to find her Church Of America believing parents missing and two holes in their bedroom ceiling. The rapture has happened and Vivian is all alone. But is it all real ?
Now Vivian Apple is breaking all the rules to find the truth, She’s not the old Vivian Apple anymore; shes’ Vivian Apple at the end of the world.
With her best friend and the knowledge that there has to be something more, Apple embarks on a cross country road tip to figure of what she believes. This book has an odd tone about religion that both questions and accepts the idea of belief,
This is my first Julia Whelan audiobook, Whelan has a broad range and a knack for teenage voices. I can’t wait to check out her other YA audiobooks.
Vivian Apple At The End of The World is one of the weird YAs where your not sure what’s going to happen next and like the characters you will question what’s is and isn’t real and what it means to believe.
Only Daughter by Anna Snoekstra
- Release Date: September 20th 2016
- Pages: 288
- Genre: Psychological Thriller/Grip-lit
- Publisher: Mira (Harlequin)
After going missing for 12 years the Winters’ family only daughter, Rebecca, is back. Rebecca doesn’t remember where she’s been and her memories are fleeting mostly because the girl who returned isn’t Rebecca Winters. She’s an impostor simply looking to hide out. But somebody from the shadows is on to the deception and before this impostor is found out she will discover that Rebecca’s perfect suburban life was lie.
This Aussie thriller moves between time, following the exploits of the impostor in 2014 and the uneasy life of the real teenage Rebecca Winters a decade previous. Snoekstra sets the scene of an idyllic life with a disturbing underbelly and while the novel doesn’t have the same eerie pathos of a Gillian Flynn novel, you will find yourself flipping the pages to find out how this ends.

I’m going to go ahead and reuse a .gif from my Red Queen Review
I mean we have the cold boy king Khalid, his protective cousin Jalal, the boyfriend Tariq and then his best friend Rahim.
Let me back up here. This YA novel is an adaption of the Arabian story of Scheherazade, a woman who tells the king a captivating story for 1001 nights to keep him from killing her and they eventually fall in love. You know kind of a Netflix and chill situation.
