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.

Review previously placed on my blog:
I have read Amari and the night brothers by B.B. Alston. This is the first book in the Supernatural investigations series. I listened to the audiobook for a buddy read.
I enjoyed this a lot. It was a good twist on tropes I have read before and I of course loved the diversity. I didn't enjoy the narrator of the audiobook though, which made me enjoy the book less. There were also some small things that bothered me, but overall a great read. I gave it 4 stars.
