I picked up Whispers Most Foul based on the gorgeous cover(s) alone and was delighted to find it was a gothic academic tale wrapped in magic, mystery, and a bit of romance. The magic system is easy to follow and feels natural, believable. The ghostly mystery is enhanced by Rose's relationships and experiences alomg the way. I enjoyed the characters quite a bit.
I read in tandem with the audiobook book, narrated by Tamaryn Payne, who was perfection.
Doubly delighted tonfind that this will be a series!

I was beyond excited to receive an eArc since Adrienne Young has been an auto-buy author for me, for a few years now. Her writing is atmospheric and empathetic.
A Sea of Unspoken Things is no exception. The small town vibes were vibing. I was easily able to settle into James' mind and emotions. The twin factor was interesting and I really enjoyed the supernatural element to it. The supporting characters felt very realistic and most were likable.
Overall, a very bingeable thriller (?!)
Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine | Delacorte Press for the eARC!

Read if you love comedy, lots of banter, and lots of popculture references.
The Witchstone is non-stop dramedy and adventure. It was a lot of fun and never took itself too seriously. At 400+ pages, it was still a quick read. I went in fairly blind. Curse Keeper meets Curse Bearer. Mission: Break Curse. Hijinks ensue.
Comps (particularly, humor wise):
-Good Omens
-Dreadful
-Long Live Evil
-How To Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying
-The Frugal Wizards Guide to Turbine Medevil England

Why didn't I realize that this was more or less a Christmas story? As luck would have it, I began reading it around Christmas, so the mood was fitting.
Grimm Curiosities is a great cozy mystery, portal fantasy, folktale hybrid in a Victorian setting with a smidge of romance. Fisher's writing flows easily and her characters are likable (well, mostly). Lizzy is endearing and it's not difficult to be invested in her, her family, and the adventure at hand.
