“But a greater fear lurked deep in Celine. Past the rush of blood, into the marrow of her bones. No matter where she went, danger followed. And it horrified her. Just as it thrilled her.” ― Renée Ahdieh, The Beautiful
Spin the Dawn is steeped in Chinese culture, sizzling with forbidden romance, and shimmering with magic, this young adult fantasy is pitch-perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas or Renée Ahdieh.
In this future world, natural death is a thing of the past. The Internet is an all-powerful sentient being called the Thunderhead and all knowledge has been acquired. There is nothing left to learn. Except how to kill, become a Scythe apprentice and glean people for population control. The premise was interesting, but it was the only interesting part of the story. You might as well read the synopsis and mark the book as “read”.
Jude was seven when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King. To win a place at the Court, she must defy him–and face the consequences.
A skilled painter must stand up to the ancient power of the faerie courts—even as she falls in love with a faerie prince—in this gorgeous debut novel.

When all of them get their own colorful uniquely expensively tailor made dancing shoes they quite literally dance the shoes to piece every night. Where they go, no one else knows, but someones always watching and the killings haven't stopped, yet.
