Title: Aurora Rising

Author: Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

Genre: Sci-Fi Fantasy

Page Count: 470

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Synopsis:

The year is 2380, and the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Star pupil Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but his own boneheaded heroism sees him stuck with the dregs nobody else in the Academy would touch…

A cocky diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm

A sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmates

A smart-ass techwiz with the galaxy’s biggest chip on his shoulder

An alien warrior with anger management issues

A tomboy pilot who’s totally not into him, in case you were wondering

And Ty’s squad isn’t even his biggest problem—that’d be Aurora Jie-Lin O’Malley, the girl he’s just rescued from interdimensional space. Trapped in cryo-sleep for two centuries, Auri is a girl out of time and out of her depth. But she could be the catalyst that starts a war millions of years in the making, and Tyler’s squad of losers, discipline-cases and misfits might just be the last hope for the entire galaxy.

They're not the heroes we deserve. They're just the ones we could find. Nobody panic.

Why I like it:

Incredible diverse characters

Angsty space romance

In Jay’s words: hawt space elf with anger management issues

The bisexual alien icon I've been waiting for

Badass heroine with telekinetic powers

Heroine is also a massive mood at all times

FOUND FAMILY

Higher stakes than any of these losers expected or signed up for

There’s a space masquerade ball and that is very important

Finian de Karran de Seel, read it for him alone if you have to

Lots of hilarious moments

Some moments that hit you right in the feels omg

Awesome action and everyone kicking some ass

Creepy af ancient evil entity that is truly horrifying

I was so addicted to this book I read it in a day. It’s fun, occasionally heartbreaking, and action-packed. Full of mystery, some twists you really don’t see coming, and an amazing ensemble cast of characters. It’s such an amazing book and I really recommend it to everyone.

(A/N: I’m not expecting a lot of people to read this since Isaak isn’t as popular as other characters from the books but in case you are reading this, thank you and I’d appreciate some feedback. Also, this is mainly written for @stardustbooknerd because we’re both heartbroken by the ending of King of Scars)

CHAPTER 10 OF LIFE AFTER DEATH IS LIVE!! WHOO!!

*

Kosmo sits beside him looking spritely, tail thumping sporadically against the floor and tongue lolling out of his mouth in a lopsided way, his eyes fixed intently on Lance, who gives the wolf a smile and makes a point to kneel down and give him attention.

“Good morning, handsome,” Lance coos, feeling Keith’s gaze drawn to him as he scratches the wolf behind the ears. “Did I keep Keith all to myself last night? I did. I hope you weren’t lonely.”

“He was with Krolia. He’s fine,” Keith says with a scoff.

“You could have brought him. We bonded yesterday,” Lance tells him, giggling when Kosmo shoves his wet nose into his cheek with a funny little chuff. “We did, didn’t we? You’re a good boy. We had fun, huh?”

Kosmo’s tail wags a little faster and Lance finally looks up to say something else to Keith, only to be brought up short when he finds Keith gazing down on both of them. The look on his face is fond down to it’s very core. Warm and dark enough to melt right into, so unguarded that Lance’s belly swoops low. It reminds him of things he doesn’t even remember: thick dollops of honey, humid midsummer nights, saltwater cool around ankles. It makes the words stick in his throat for so long he forgot what he was gonna say. Heat feathers out in the crests of his cheeks as he averts his eyes back to Kosmo who is leaning into the hand Lance has idly resting above his eye.

“I’m glad he wasn’t any trouble.”

Lance shakes his head, a slow smile curling at the corners of his mouth as the warmth of his blush spreads through him gentle and slow. “Of course not. He’s good company.”
