From the get-go, Alston hooks you in with a relatable FMC. Amari. 
 
What really sets this book apart is its vibrant and imaginative world-building. Alston effortlessly weaves together elements of fantasy with a modern-day setting, creating a universe that's both familiar and extraordinary. From magical creatures to secret societies, every page is bursting with wonder and excitement.

But what truly stole my heart were the characters. Amari is the kind of FMC you can't help but root for, with her determination and bravery shining through every obstacle. And let's not forget her witty and charming sidekick, Elsie, who adds just the right amount of humor to keep you grinning from ear to ear.

As for the plot, get ready for a wild ride! For it to be a middle grade book it had me on a chokehold majority of way. And let me tell you, that ending? 🤯.

Overall, "Amari and the Night Brothers" is a must-read for anyone who are fans of Harry Potter and Peecy Jackson series. It's a story about courage, friendship, and the power of believing in yourself.
