The Secret Life of Maggie Grey by Granger .

adventurous dark funny mysterious reflective tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I didn't expect to finish this book in 2 days, but I did. I couldn't rate it any higher because of the POV jumping and a few notable unedited sections. That being said, I'm actually excited to read book 2 of this series, I'm super interested to see how HBCU themes play out with creatures and magic.

I have not read something like this before, and even with the parts I disliked I have high hopes and curiosity for the other books in the series.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Pedophilia, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Torture

Moderate: Bullying, Sexual content, and Classism

I really didn't like how predatory a lot of the male characters were or how it was brushed off as the college experience. I understand the main character is a grad student, but I hated how Solomon was just accepted after all the harassment and bullying.
