The Devouring Gray by C.L. Herman

I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while but had been needing to get through a clutter of ARCs! Luckily, I wasn’t disappointed when I finally found my chance!

I liked the multiple POVs, but I would have liked to have more on Isaac! He was my favorite! Harper was interesting and she’s missing part of her arm because of the Gray. Violet is the new kid in town. And Justin I liked but he needed more oomph. But when these characters were all together, they were on fire!

Loved the Founding Fathers’ stuff as well as the magic. I have not read the Raven Boys but this is definitely nothing like Stranger Things, which is a good thing, wouldn’t want a book exactly like a show! My only complaint was the book felt a bit MG at times.

The writing was beautiful and it was fun to dig deeper in the town to uncover its secrets! Need book 2!
