The Goddess Twins by Yodassa Williams
1.0
This is a story of two sisters coming to terms with their newly discovered powers and going on a quest to save their missing mother. They end up finding family they didn't know existed and new versions of themselves.
Unfortunately, this book was not for me. This is likely more targeted toward younger YA readers despite featuring high school students. While the premise is promising, and the magical concept is cool, the writing and the plot are fairly simple and didn't hold much pay off for me personally but a older middle grade reader may find it fun. Its also a diaspora book with elements that some Jamaican readers may find frustrating, from what I've heard. Overall, it's a quick read and could appeal to younger readers looking for some Black girl magic and sister drama.
