Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros
4.0
I don't know if it was just the comfort of getting to be with beloved characters that held my interest, but the subplots distracted from an amazing overall story line.
The Irish Fall by Brooke Gilbert
4.0
This was a wonderful story that I think my students will love for multiple reasons. They would identify strongly with both Eyre and Darby as well as appreciate the support each character offers each other. Students struggle with mental health and they tend to feel alone, or different from others and this story will be a wonderful way for them to take that step in feeling they are not alone.
Like Eyre, many people feel that they have no other options left to them, and lean towards harmful thoughts. Not many have someone like Darby to intervene when necessary, and I think that was a huge positive to this story: Darby not only helped her, but she felt in that moment that someone cared enough to stop her, listen to her, and support her even when she wasn't ready to talk. Likewise, Eyre was supportive of Darby when he wasn't ready to discuss why he felt the way he did about relationships and romance, and the topics of mental health were handled very respectfully. Instead of it being used as a shock and awe, or excusing bad behavior, Gilbert did a wonderful job diving into the realities and the repercussions of each. I would highly recommend!

Good Bad Girl by Alice Feeney
3.0
It was good, but unfortunately pretty predictable. Only thing keeping me in was too see if I was right or not. I was.
