There's Magic Between Us by Jillian Maria
5.0
This was a fantastic read! I received an ARC from the author before it was published and as soon as I opened it I was hooked.
First off, this novel plays off the fae themes beautifully. Masks, gender, dangerous fae games, this book has it all in spades and makes for a beautiful adventure. The tone manages to dance between light-but-realistic teenage romance and serious, this-is-horrifying implications when it comes to the fae, their ways of "playing" with humans, and the consequences of the terrible choices made to survive them.
The characters also feel fresh and surprised me a lot of times. The things that oppose the two leads and bring them together feel realistic and grounded in their reality. It's also awesome to read open representation that doesn't shy away from being representation.
I found the whole novel refreshing, intriguing, and delightful. I wish I had this book way earlier in my life, and I'd recommend it to any library for their young adult section.
