The November Girl, by Lydia KangRead about another entry on the list.
Kang delivers a highly original and dark tale with The November Girl. Anda is the daughter of the lake and controller of the November storms that wreck ships. Until now, she has managed to channel her half-human side enough to keep her destruction limited to November. But as each day of the new storm season passes, she feels her mother’s call to sink into the lake forever. As if she wasn’t battling enough demons, human boy Hector has decided to hide out on the island, away from the system, and person, that hurt him. As the storms rage around them, they each must decide who they will choose to be.
