This book is so special 🥹 It’s just as good as the movie (if not alittle better with that ending!). Can’t wait to read this and watch it with my future fam! What a great middle grade read

This was fun! Basically about  a poltergeist haunting an IKEA knock-off store! This was a better version of the novella Finna honestly (not by Grady but that book reminded me of this one) but I didn’t really care for the ending. I’m just so happy to have read Grady’s debut! 

The repetitiveness of this killed my enjoyment. It was wayyyy too long. 
 Working in the oil sands sounds like a miserable place. At least the author made enough money there to pay off her student loans in two years. I think I would have liked this better as a proper (non graphic novel) memoir 

I was interested when Addie got kidnapped and her experience in the skin trade but that was only one third of the book…the rest of it just wasn’t as interesting to me. I skimmed through most of this book. The ending wasn’t good either.. Z giving her

anal and then a ring???

ugh. Read this for a friend and though Zade is a character I’m very happy I met and won’t forget, this duology is completely forgettable. 

Cute fantasy story with some folklore. I didn’t really understand how the two POVs, one a spirit animal, and another, a girl named Nina connected until the very end. I wish the connection was made earlier in the book because it really started to drag starting from the middle to end. I had no idea this was the same author who wrote Elatsoe. Very excited to get to that after reading this! 

The writing is very hard for me to understand. I also don’t know if it’s just the way the e-book is formatted on hoopla but the chapters were odd and I just wasn’t vibing with it. I tried to read this for a prompt on one of the reading challenges I’m in but I just can’t. This is the second book I’ve tried for a prompt and I might give it one more go with another book (if I find one). Otherwise ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

You know I feel like I’ve only seen the UK version of this cover and if you haven’t seen it it’s bright pink. Seeing that color gave me the wrong impression of this book. I thought it was going to be a cozy witchy tale and it is to a certain extent..but it’s also deliciously dark. 

We follow four POVs of witches: 
Niamh - one of the most powerful witches in the story who is a healer and sentient. She is no longer apart of HMRC (Her Majesty’s Royal Coven)
Elle - a healer who is also not a part of HMRC actively. She has a witch daughter named Holly and a non-magical or mundane husband and son named Jez and Milo
Leonie - she left HMRC to create her own more inclusive coven called Dispora that mostly includes minorities. She has a witchy gf named Chinara
Helena - current High Priestess of HMRC who has a daughter named Snow who is an elemental witch 

There is a premonition that the Leviathan will rise and extinguish the witches and warlocks of the UK. When a really powerful child is found after a magical incident at their school in Scotland happens, Helena has the child named Theo locked up thinking this child is how the Leviathan will rise. What happens next you won’t see coming. 

The ending shocked me and I’m really not sure if I care to continue the series because of the direction the book is going in. TBD

The beginning of this was incredibly interesting but then the middle portion really lost me. I listened to this on audio and I appreciated the change in narrator when they changed the perspective of the story. The last half was interesting too. I feel like alot of nonfiction I’ve read fails to include how things are after the events in the book but this one nailed it and now we understand everything. 

I watched the movie and it matches the book really closely. It’s just as long-winded and slightly boring too 🤣😂

I am so glad this book exists. The author really did his research and I applaud him for his meticulousness. I’m also incredibly outraged that another huge event in U.S. history is not taught in schools but at least now I know about it and am disgusted even more with how our country treats indigenous and BIPOc people 😭😤🤬

This book was so good it literally had my head spinning at the end and I had to take a walk to clear my head. 

I tried the audiobook and couldn’t understand the slang. Tried the physical copy but I’m just not interested.
