A perfect, cozy holiday mystery - Agatha Christie does a wonderful job with "locked-door mysteries" and has you guessing until the end on what could have happened.

I loved the take on these classic short stories and thought it was so clever! They did a great job at sticking to the original stories and making only changes to the pertinent "gender identifiers".

Wow! I was hooked from the start and not disappointed with the story's journey and ending. It was such a great mystery/thriller focused on a small community that might just be a cult. I really enjoyed and appreciated the multiple perspectives used in telling the story.

This was a cute retelling of the classic Little Women story. I enjoyed the magical take on the girls.

The best one yet! I love the multiple perspectives and the characters currently in play. This was the real turning point for the series, I think.

A very entertaining short story collection of the fairy tales that those in the Grishaverse books would have grown up with. I thought it was a great addition to the Grishaverse books and matched the values we see from those books’ characters.

I loved this one! From the multiple POVs to the new characters integrated into the story, the excitement is building for what is to come. I loved continuing to see how Celaena is facing her past and growing into the leader she was born to be.

I find Matt Haig's nonfiction work to always be really thought-provoking and reflective; however, I definitely prefer Reasons to Stay Alive over this one. I just didn't feel like this one was as impactful as RTSA.
