Beasts of Prey by Ayana Gray
4.0

African inspired, dual POV, chapter titles (miss those) and wonderful maps (yes there are 2 maps) - this book could do no wrong.

Beasts of Prey is a brilliant debut novel and the first in a trilogy. The unique and luscious world of magic and beasts that Ayana Grey brought to life made for such a great reading experience. That whole experience in the Greater Jungle felt so vivid at some point my skin was crawling reading about a certain scene (won’t say much more).

The second half of the book had some unexpected plot twists that got me *gasping*.

The main characters, Koffi and Ekon were well written and while there were quite a few developments for each I think they are only at the beginning of their character arcs. I also think that they have yet to face their biggest challenges.

After finishing this book I went and pre-ordered the second book within a day or 2, so I’m definitely looking forward to seeing where the storyline goes and how the characters develop!
