Two books, 'A Song to Drown Rivers' by Ann Liang and 'Fallen' by Lauren Kate, are displayed. 'A Song to Drown Rivers' has a blue cover with a woman's silhouette, while 'Fallen' features a dark forest scene with a woman in black.

The book 'A Song to Drown Rivers' by Ann Liang is shown. Its blue cover features a woman's silhouette, a crescent moon, and wave patterns, with the tagline 'Her beauty hides a deadly purpose.'

The book 'Fallen' by Lauren Kate is displayed. Its dark cover depicts a woman in a black dress in a shadowy forest, with a quote from P.C. Cast praising the book.

My First Two Reads of 2025!

A Song to Drown Rivers was everything! Intriguing, full of lies and deception, romantic, tragic—it truly had it all. The emotional rollercoaster left me with a sense of longing that I don’t think I’ll ever fully recover from. Every twist and turn kept me hooked, and I can’t stop thinking about it.
