Revelle
Revelle | Lyssa Mia Smith
2 posts | 5 read
Inspired by Moulin Rouge! and set on an island in a magical version of Prohibition-era New York, Revelle is a breathtaking YA stand-alone fantasy full of dazzling magic, romance, and mystery from debut author Lyssa Mia Smith. On the island of Charmant, magic flows like bootlegged champagne, and fantasies can be bought for the price of a gemstone. Luxe Revelle, star of her family's fantastical show, knows the splendor is just an illusion. With Prohibition threatening their livelihood, her family struggles to make a living, watering down champagne and patching holes in their sequined costumes. So when the son of Charmant's wealthiest family makes her an offer--everything the Revelles need to stay in business, in exchange for posing as his girl and helping him become mayor--she can't refuse. The moment Jamison Port sets foot in Charmant, he can't shake the feeling of familiarity. An orphan with as few memories as gemstones, he's desperate to learn what happened to his parents. But as he delves into the island's secrets, he risks angering the wrong person and discovering a truth that just might break his heart. When Luxe and Jamison accidentally meet, the sparks that fly are more than her magical enchantments. But keeping secrets from powerful people is a dangerous game . . . one that could destroy them both.

4/5 The Roaring 20‘s meets Moulin Rouge - infused with magic, twists, and romance. This book was an awesome fantasy read, and the world building of the island of Charmant was incredible for a stand alone novel! I would recommend this to any fantasy fans who want a quick read without having to dive into a new series. There were moments when my jaw dropped, and moments that left me thinking about them hours after.

Moulin Rouge, but make it magic! And I love the OwlCrate cover too! It‘s prohibition, and the Revelles - known for enchanting others - need liquor to keep their circus business afloat. Luxe charms who she thinks is a powerful bootlegger, only to fall head over heels for a poor man. Meanwhile, the real bootlegger wants Luxe on his arm as he runs for mayor, and she agrees. Torn between family duty and her heart, what will Luxe do?

BookBelle84 I hadn't really heard of this one, but yesterday I listened to Marissa Meyers podcast, and she was the guest. She is a very intelligent and interesting person. 14mo
