A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson
5.0
I LOVED THIS!!! IT'S SO GOOD!!! The main character was amazing and so nerdy that it was adorable. I loved all of the other characters too, especially Ravi. The mystery was so good too and I loved all of the plot twists. Not super dark as well, so now I can still sleep at night (yay!). Overall it was an amazing book with great plot and characters.
The Reappearance of Rachel Price by Holly Jackson
4.0
It was good, but maybe not the best Holly Jackson book I've read. The beginning was a bit slow and boring. BUT THE PLOT TWISTS??? They were amazing!!! The characters were really good too, I kind of expected a romance like Pip and Ravi but that didn't really happen, which was a bit disappointing, but definitely just high expectations from me. I loved the family connections in this and the ending tho. Overall it was a really good book and I highly recommend :)
Powerless by Lauren Roberts
4.0
I really liked this books, the characters were amazing and I loved them. I kind of expected a bit more fantasy in this, but it was mainly romance with very little world building. There was also never any reason given for the trials, but it was still a very good book a I highly recommend.

THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING!!!! I love it so much. The entire idea of the gambit was just so creative and it was a nice break from my usual Fantasy books to read something with a heists, high stakes and an amazing romance. It was like if someone mashed The Inheritance Games, Six of Crows, Now You See Me and Ocean’s Eleven, which are some of my top books and movies ever.
I loved Ross (Main Character), not just only through the mystery and heists but also her character development.To go from trusting no one, to being vulnerable, honest, finally admitting she has trust issues (which was so real tbh) - trusting someone and then getting betrayed again. DEV’S BETRAYAL WAS SUCH A SHOCK! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM???
MMC was sooooo charming, he had my kicking my feet while reading this. I completely understood why Ross went weak at the knees for him. I loved the relationships that developed between these characters, they were all so amazing :D.I loved how she made up with Noelia in the end, but I HATED HER MUM, like go away evil lady!
The twists and turns in this book are amazing the ending had my jaw on the floor to say the least. Overall this was an amazing book and I loved it so much, can’t wait until the second book comes out in November I will be reading it immediately!!!
