This is Our Story by Ashley Elston is a book with a question that is established early on, and I was immediately hooked from the first few pages. The book conveyed its characters' emotions wonderfully, and really showed how little trust there is within the group of suspects. I could understand why the characters acted how they did. The book features multiple point of views, even the one of the killer, while still hiding their identity until the end.

Ninth House features Leigh Bardugo's debut novel with a dark and entertaining premise, taking place in Yale University, with various Houses and Societies. In charge of all these minor societies is the prestigious House of Lethe, which stands guard to ensure that Yale’s dark affairs are not revealed to outsiders as it could lead to chaos for the university. Despite the various potions and spells, Yale needs someone who is able to see ghosts without influence for reasons that would spoil the book so I’ll leave it out.

If you enjoy mystery or thriller books then this is a perfect find for you! The reason I loved this book was because when I read another one of Stuart Gibbs books, I just fell in love with the way he wrote his books, and they are all fantastic! The plot to this book is very suspenseful, and the characters make this book not only a mystery or a thriller, but a comedy book, and feel good vibes. This is a very compelling book, and once you start reading it, you won’t be able to stop.
