The Black Veins by Ashia Monet

4.0

A fresh, captivating urban fantasy adventure.

If this book contains several tropes that are usually not my cup of tea (chosen one, absent parent...), Ashia Monet knows how to write a compelling, fresh, funny and full of emotions story. The Black Veins is a great book, with complex and unique characters that'll steal your heart, and adventure and challenges that'll keep you on the edge of your seat. Its strong point is definitely its characters, forming one big and loveable found family, but Ashia Monet also created an unique and intriguing universe, that I cannot wait to discover further in the next book(s).

You should read The Black Veins if you love road trip adventures, loveable characters, YA fantasy, diverse ensemble cast, and a plot which concentrate on the story itself, is character driven and without love interest.
