Review - Forever Nine by Kris T. Bethke
My rating:

They even insist on calling him “Nine” instead of using his proper name, no matter how many times he tells them he doesn’t like it. What Jesse really likes is his neighbor Holden.

Review - History of Beauty by Meraki P. Lyhne
My rating:
More than a thousand years before Daniel was born, another royal emerged in the Norse regions of Europe. Like Daniel, Elakdon was almost immediately faced with dealing with new problems coming to the ancient Cubi peoples. Chief among these is a new religion sweeping north: Christianity. It’s a faith whose beliefs demonize and directly threaten the Cubi, who have traditionally lived openly alongside humans. “History of Beauty” is a story within the larger story of the Cubi series.
