An entertaining and fun mystery with high stakes and a very risky gamble. The perfect finale to The Inheritance Games trilogy.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this series. The characters, the pace of the plot, and the in depth mystery were great. The narration on the audiobook was also well spoken and dynamic.

Review: The Charmed List by Julie Abe

If you’re looking for a sunny, magical read, join Ellie, who is part of a secret magical society, as she creates a summer anti-wallflower list. However, her planned list and road-trip with her best friend Lia is ruined when Lia witnesses the secret magic. Instead, she must go in the road-trip with her once friend now enemy, Jack.

This enemies to lovers, coming of age story is an adorable journey down the west coast with magical stops in charmed towns with all kinds of foibles along the way.

I recommend this book if you’re on the hunt for a sweet read with a touch of magic and a lot of delicious food descriptions. I mean seriously, s’more macarons the size of my palm? A bookstore called Books & Boba? Sign me up!

This novel was a magical, small town witch story, and I found it intriguing. A good fit for a heartwarming October read.

This is the perfect spooky read. A curse, a forbidden forest, a school for witches all wrapped into an interesting mystery with excellent art.

Glad I could join Stevie and friends on another adventure. Interesting mystery with a solid surprise ending.

Another beautiful novel by Zevin. Written about the importance of connection and building our lives around those we love. If you love bookstores and books and character development, you should read this story.
