Last year, I read Geekerella by Ashley Poston, and while it had a bit of a slow start for me, I’m glad that I continued reading because that book ended up being in my top 10 for last year (and might have been my #1 contemporary)! I loved many aspects about Geekerella, one of them being the made-up sci-fi TV series that the main character was in love with. But when a darkness from Ana’s past returns, she must face an impossible choice: does she protect a kingdom that wants her dead or save the Metal boy she loves? What they find in a lost corner of the universe will change all their lives-and unearth dangerous secrets.

Now their entire kingdom is after them-and the coordinates-and not everyone wants them captured alive. When everything goes wrong, she and the Ironblood end up as fugitives on the run. He has his own reasons for taking the coordinates, and he doesn’t care what he’ll sacrifice to keep them. But at the last moment, a spoiled Ironblood boy beats Ana to her prize. But D09-one of the last remaining illegal Metals-has been glitching, and Ana will stop at nothing to find a way to fix him.Īna’s desperate effort to save D09 leads her on a quest to steal the coordinates to a lost ship that could offer all the answers. Found as a child drifting through space with a sentient android called D09, Ana was saved by a fearsome space captain and the grizzled crew she now calls family. Seventeen-year-old Ana is a scoundrel by nurture and an outlaw by nature. A physical copy of this book was kindly provided by the publisher, in exchange for an honest review.
