This is a new middle grade series that I know I’m going to love! The world building was really cool. It gave me a really cool MIB:Men In Black vibe. I liked the relationships between the characters. The twist at the end was unexpected. I’m excited to read the next book and I am very glad that I have been granted an ARC for it!

THIS WAS INCREDIBLE!!! Definitely one of my favourite reads of this year so far. It was so enjoyable that I hated putting it down. I was so obsessed with the world Alston created; he made me desperately want a job at the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs (specifically in the Department of Hidden Spaces)!! The pacing was impeccable. All the characters were fantastic, but I especially LOVED Amari as our main character and her narrative voice. I cannot wait to pick up the sequel.

THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD! I adored all of the characters and would have wanted to go on these adventures with them when I was their age. Or can I just be an adult agent please!? That would be great. Anyways. This book. The writing was wonderful. The characters were absolutely fantastic and I feel fiercely protective of Amari and Elsie! The twists, the reveals, THE ENDING. I just loved it all and cannot form cohesive and critical points. Sorry. Just going to yell at everyone to read some more wholesome adventure middle grade.
