February brought book nerds amazing books to obsess over. I was anxious for this month's book releases to hit the bookstores. Although there were many amazing books coming out this month, only five books really grabbed my attention.

1. King's Cageby Victoria Aveyard (February 7th)

King’s Cage is number one on my list because I am heavily invested in this series, it is the third book in the Red Queen series.

“In this breathless third installment to Victoria Aveyard’s bestselling Red Queen series, allegiances are tested on every side. And when the Lightning Girl's spark is gone, who will light the way for the rebellion?”

2. The Hate U Giveby Angie Thomas (February 28th)

I am so excited to get my hands on a copy of The Hate U Give because it is one of the rare books that is about black people in the Young Adult genre. Most of the time Young Adult books that involve black people are categorized under Urban Fiction and not Young Adult. The Hate U Giveis inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement and is about a young girl dealing with racism and police brutality.

3. The Valiantby Lesley Livingston (February 14th)

What drew me to this book is the amazing book cover. You see this bad ass girl in a colosseum with her armor on and she has this don't mess with me look about her. The Valiant is about a girl named Fallon who needs to fight to earn her place in her father’s war band. But things don't go as planned, she is forced to train with female gladiators and has to fight for her life. I feel like this book is going to be awesome and Fallon is going to be a badass chick.

4.American Street by Ibi Zoboi (February 14th)

I first heard about American Street when it was on a list of books with a realistic magic plot. I am a big fan of fantasy books and the more real it seems the better. It also has voodoo in it. I hardly read books about voodoo so I'm excited to try something new.

5. The Beast is an Animal by Peternelle van Arsdale (February 28th)

The Beast Is an Animal is a full blown action packed fantasy book. It’s about a girl named Alys who's trying to protect her village from soul eaters. She has a power that no one can know about or she will be shunned by her village. I really want to read this book because like I said earlier I am a very big fantasy reader and I never heard a book like this before.
