Urban Fantasy is still a new to me genre but I am really loving it. The Hidden Court had so much going on in the story (not to the point overwhelming) that you just can't put the book down once you start. The mix of fantasy and paranormal creatures, is one I love and Dominique Kristine brought her own twist to it. I really liked Skylar and Gabriel's characters, the was some humor in their characters. The connection between the two can be felt from the beginning, I really loved seeing Skylar grow as a character as well. Definitely one of my fave reads for 2018 and I cant wait to see where this series goes because I will definitely be reading to find out.

Fairly standard YA paranormal academy story but with one major and positive difference. Bucking the prevailing (and annoying) insta-love trend, this time the romance was built on friendship. Yep that's right Sky & Gabriel are friends. Sure Sky is crushing on Gabriel but she acknowledges this and that he has a girlfriend so so just focuses on being friends and not dwelling on a romance. And they spend a reasonable amount of time as just friends after Gabriel breaks up with Jada. Am keen to read more.

I really enjoyed this story about confronting segregation and overcoming stereotypes. I'm looking forward to what happens next!
