So This is Ever After is a hilarious story of finding love in just the right way. The book is full of DnD vibes and laughs. Arek is a perfect protagonist for the story and an amazing one in general. He is funny and relatable (I’m a girl saying this). Arek is an awesome character, and the story is an amazing story.

Daughter of the Deep is a wonderful story that pays homage to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I did not read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea but I know I love the Daughter of the Deep. This story dives into action almost immediately with just the perfect shock. Like falling into water while dipping your toe in. Daughter of the Deep is a wonderful story about a girl thrust into a role after her world falls apart.

I have a confession to make. I first decided to read this because I thought it was going to be a story about the police’s neglect of the missing case of an African American girl and it was so different from that. That would have been wonderful but this was wonderful in a different way. Monday’s Not Coming is the fascinating story of a girl’s life after she loses her best friend, the person closest to her.

The Buried and the Bound is a wonderful novel about Aziza, a capable witch who will go to great lengths to protect her town. Leo, a boy with gaps in his memory and a desperation to get answers about the person he has forgotten, and Tristan a necromancer whose life fell apart after he made a deal with the wrong person. “The Buried and the Bound” left me spellbound while reading and even after. It went inches from becoming my newest hyper fixation.

Good Girl, Bad Blood

After solving the murder case together, Ravi Singh helped Pip create a podcast that soon went viral, but they both swear off sleuthing. When someone Pip knows goes missing, and the police don’t do anything about it, Pip takes matters into her own hands. 

The beginning was a bit slow, since the second book was more of a disappearance than a murder. I thought the second book was even more interesting than the first book. Especially near the end, I was so shocked about A LOT of things. Some people who I thought were literally so pure and innocent.
