The Antidote by Shelley Sackier . What’s the last standalone you read? . It’s been a while for me! I feel standalones are pretty rare in YA fantasy 😅 I’m not complaining, but sometimes it can be nice to have a quick read and have a story come to an end by the end of the book ✨ . The Antidote was a standalone I really enjoyed! I have to admit it was a cover buy at first (it has deckled edges too 😍), but I got really into the story and finished it in one go! . Synopsis: Magic is not allowed, under any circumstances — even if it could save someone’s life. Instead, there are herbal remedies and traditional techniques that have been painstakingly recorded in lieu of using the mystical arts. Fee knows this, so she keeps her magic a secret. Except her best friend, Xavi, is deathly ill. He’s also the crown prince. Saving him is important, not only for her, but for the entire kingdom. Fee’s desperation to save her friend means she can barely contain the magic inside her. And after the tiniest of slips, Fee is thrust into a dark and secretive world that is as alluring as it is dangerous. If she gives in, it could mean she can save Xavi. But it also means that those who wish to snuff out magic might just snuff her out in the process. . . . #theantidote #harper360 #harpercollins #shelleysackier #yafantasy #standalone #standalones #bookcover #coverbuy #fantasybooks #yafiction #yabooks #yanovel #bookstagram #bookphoto #booksandfashion https://www.instagram.com/p/CCgWxoeAurD/?igshid=1dhz81ov4fv0i
