Small Town, Big Magic by Hazel Beck
Did not finish book. Stopped at 37%.

God this protagonist is so, so annoying. Which sucks because I like all the other characters and the plot seemed really intriguing but I literally could not stand another page of her inner monologue

I loved this book!! The first half was a bit slow, however it was very entertaining. There were some uncomfortable moments, but as a whole it was a great read. So many twists and turns. I also really liked the main character, she felt very real. If you like murder mysteries, I HIGHLY recommend this book!

This was very fun to read, but I feel like the ending was extremely predictable. I did enjoy it though!

No Beauties or Monsters by Tara Goedjen

4.0

I love this authors writing style! I don't think I really understood parts of this book, but it was so beautifully written, I didn't care. I also really liked the heroine.

The Agony House by Cherie Priest

5.0

I LOVE this book! It is the perfect amount of scary while also being super fun. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. And I did not see the ending coming. It feels like goosebumps for young adult readers, mixed with a graphic novel aspect and it is amazing.

Frozen Charlotte by Alex Bell

4.0

This book is absolutely terrifying with twists and turns I never could've guessed. This author has an extreme talent for building up tension. Overall a very interesting read, but do be cautious as there is a lot of gruesome things described in quite a bit of detail, mainly to do with eyes & blood, and be careful if you have a history with s*lf h*rm like me.

It Goes Like This by Miel Moreland

4.0

This was a very cute and sweet book. I personally had some trouble keeping up, each chapter switched between each of the four characters perspectives as well as points in time, so it got a little confusing for me. But it was still heartwarming and a nice read.

The Night Gardener by Jonathan Auxier

5.0

I really enjoyed this book! Very creepy and the climax was really interesting!
