While we know some of the characters, this is a different kind of book than Space Between Worlds. I loved it all the same but it was a slower burn for sure. This one feels like a love letter to found family and the strength of community. It feels clearly like a story about those who are trying desperately to hold onto their faith in humanity despite what they’re experiencing. It’s gritty, it’s somber, it’s full of rage. It was right for me in this moment. 

I received an ARC of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

If there were more stars I would’ve given them to this book. I loved it from dedication to epilogue, it was that good! The writing, the narrators, the growth from book one to now 🤌🏾 chef’s kiss!

We pick up just where Blood Debts left off and I was reeled right on in from the jump! I wanted to stay up all night and finish it but #adulting was in the way. Regardless, I was hooked on every word. The experiences, choices, regrets, and affirmations of these characters really spoke to me. I recognized their rage, I felt their pain, and I understood their choices “right or wrong”. These youths were giving “when they go low we going gutter” vibes, and I was with them! 😏🤭
I don’t know how best to say it, so I’ll just say again that I loved it and it’ll be hard to knock this one out of my ‘Best of the Year’ category! Go preorder NOW!

I received an advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 
Thriller fans are going to eat this one up! I enjoyed the ride alongside Dr. Fletcher and Det. Navarro. There were a good amount of twists and turns to keep you guessing and great easter eggs for those who are sleuthing along with the main characters. The main character was a bit insufferable at times, but hey, not every MC is going to be a book bestie. If you like a well-paced thriller, you'll probably enjoy this. It might have you sleeping with a night light though! 

This book felt very much like the fake book Monk wrote in American Fiction 🤦🏽‍♀️
