VE Schwab just writes for me. I will absolutely devour everything they publish, and I’ll love it all the same. Quiet literally ate and left no crumbs.

I feel like this is one of her hidden gems because I very rarely see people talk about it and it’s just so god damn good. The setting and plot is immersive, the characters are delicious, and if I didn’t have to wait for my library hold to become available I would be reading book 2 right away.

Read this if you love mafia/gangster territory wars, post-apocalyptic worlds, rebellious teenagers, black cat girlfriends and golden retriever boyfriends, and monsters that feel a little too real.
