Henrietta & Eleanor: A Retelling of Jekyll and Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, Libby Spurrier
3.5
Enjoyable modern retelling of Jekyll and Hyde; well narrated.
Into the Dark by Jessa Hastings
4.5
The way this book made me fall in love with BJ and Magnolia. Oh my goodness what a journey from book one to where we’re at now, these arcs have been beautiful and I’m obsessed with the two of them together and how they feel about each other.
The way this book explored Magnolia’s grief felt really special🤍 I cried multiple times and it’s quite difficult for a book to touch me in such a way emotionally.
It also desperately left me looking forward to the next Daisy book to unravel everything happening in the Haites/Hemmes world!

A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid
3.5
This book was all right, it didn’t quite hit how I was hoping it to based off of the hype I’d seen. It had an interesting premise about female oppression, and I did enjoy the ending with the Angharad reveal. But the pacing felt a bit off, either too slow with little happening, or far too fast with plot points over in the blink of an eye. I liked both Effy and Preston as characters but the romance between them felt a little flat as I think the book could have done with more development between them. Overall an okay read but not one I’d recommend to me reader friends.

The School Reunion by Shalini Boland
4.0
Great mystery novel with misleading narrators and plot twists I didn’t see coming, even if some of the plot points seemed a bit far fetched. Felt like the ending was satisfying.
