Happy April, everyone! I was lucky enough to get an early look at April's Spotlight read thanks to Quirk Books! This Middle Grade adventure was a lot a fun, set in a world where Vittoria is the last city and monsters live in the woods. But, nothing is what it seems and those monters are part of the lie. Hunters of the Lost City was a lot of fun, a few twists, and near misses. As an adult reader I figured out the main twist pretty quickly, it was definitely I well used trope, but I didn't care because I adored the main character, Octavia. Through out the whole book she's really just trying to do the right thing.
Hunters of the Lost City is a hundred percent a good time with a happy ending. Which, every so often with the spooky and weird things I read, is totally needed. It hits shelves officily April 26! You can check out Quirk Books website to pre-order the book. Just click the book image below!
Twelve-year-old Octavia grew up believing the town of Vittoria was the only one left in the world. The sole survivors of a deadly magical war and plague, the people of Vittoria know there’s no one alive outside the town walls—except the terrible monsters that prowl the forest.
But then the impossible happens: Octavia meets another girl beyond the walls, someone who isn’t Vittorian. Everything she’s ever believed is thrown into question, and there’s no going back.
In her quest for the truth, Octavia discovers a world full of lies, monsters, and magic. She’ll have to use every scrap of her skill, wits, and courage to uncover what’s real about Vittoria and the rest of the world.
