I received an arc from Netgalley. Thank you Europa, Christelle Dabos, and Netgalley for the privelage to read this book. This review is my honest review.

Rating-5/5 Stars
The Missing of Clairdelune is the sequel to A Winter’s Promise, which one of my favorite books of 2018. This book, the sequel was one of my anticipated reads of 2019. And man, it did not disappoint.
The novel picks right up from where A Winter’s Promise and there was a bit of a mystery in this novel, which kept me wondering a guessing on why people were going missing. Christelle Dabos writes a beautiful masterpiece. Her writing pulls me in and feels elegant and different from any fantasy novel I have ever read. I love her world building, the character development, and definitely her writing style. I cannot wait until the third book is translated into English and has a release date. I need more.

Rating: 3.5/5 Stars
Bree sees a “witch” in her bedroom window one morning. She is unsure if she really saw her or if she was half asleep. Later on she sees the “witch” again in a parking lot. Her son then goes missing and the old lady gives her specific information if she wants her baby back. The old lady has a vendetta and wants to see justice done.
This book started off rough for me and I was unsure if I wanted to go on with it. However, once the twist and the investigation started by Bree and Marshal I became more invested. I felt like the ending was drawn out. It was still a good read and one of the better thrillers I’ve read in a while.

“Through bravery, charm, and an alarming amount of enthusiasm, Nick landed himself the superhero boyfriend of his dreams. Now instead of just writing stories about him, Nick actually gets to kiss him. On the mouth. A lot. But having a superhero boyfriend isn’t everything Nick thought it would be—he’s still struggling to make peace with his own lack of extraordinary powers.

When new Extraordinaries begin arriving in Nova City—siblings who can manipulate smoke and ice, a mysterious hero who can move objects with their mind, and a drag queen superhero with the best name and the most-sequined costume anyone has ever had—it’s up to Nick and his friends Seth, Gibby, and Jazz to determine who is virtuous and who is villainous.

And new Extraordinaries aren’t the only things coming to light. Long-held secrets and neglected truths are surfacing that challenge everything Nick knows about justice, family, and being extraordinary. Which is a lot to handle when Nick really just wants to finish his self-insert bakery AU fanfic.

Will it all come together in the end or will it all go down in flames?”

I love this sequel even more than The Extraordinaries! This was just a fun read that I could not put down and I even listened in a day. I am using this as the Whisper in the Dark prompt for the Trick or Treat Readathon, so basically I just had to read an audiobook. That was easy peasy. I found a lot of moments in this book is hilarious and I love TJ Klune for this and his books for it. The character growth of the characters were great. Plus, there were twists that were well done. This was a great sequel and I look forward to the next book.
