City of Villains by Estelle Laure
5.0
I had so much fun reading this one. I love origin stories, and to read one about the Disney Villains? Sign me up! This book is set in a Gotham-style setting, where magic is now dead. There are those that are descended from magical families, and those that aren't. There is a lot of rivalry between these two groups, and when Mally goes missing, her friend Mary Elizabeth, an intern at the police department, is put on the investigation. Once Ursula, Mary Elizabeth's best friend, goes missing too, she really delves into the underbelly of the city, and who might want to see magic return.
This was a quick read, and I love Estelle Laure's writing style. I loved her other books too, and knew I was in for a treat with this one. It was a perfect cozy winter night read. I sped to the ending, and then realized I would have to wait for the next book. But it really was a blast seeing some of my favorite characters in a new context and as much younger versions of themselves. It was a simple book, but a great mystery. Can't wait to recommend this one!
