This and Bloodlust and Bonnets are both so good. I describe both as wacky-evil fantasy. The real villains are always the ones that are the ‘good guys’ in the book and the characters all like murder a bit too much.

I loved this book it was so quirky and fun! It’s a fast read that still has depth.

“You can’t just go around Murder king people. There are rules Nimona.”

A sweet tale about a shape shifter kid who's had some rough times growing up and has become a villain sidekick.. Turns out there villain has a lot of ethics though and the "good guys" called the institution might not.. Where heros fall in love but end up in different sides and the kid has all the biggest powers it's a wild and adventures ride.  While cartoony and light in mode, said happens and could have triggers for some folks

Book about morals and righteousness and even classism. The voices are so precious. I was invested in all of the characters.
