My Roommate Fron Hell by Cale Dietrich

 book cover for My Roommate from Hell

 I loved this very entertaining and fun YA romcom. I loved that one of the main characters was a demon. Owen and Zarmenus are great characters so it made it easy to care about them. This book was a real page-turner.



Not You Again by Erin La Rosa


 

I loved this romcom with a twist! Adam and Carly were easy to care about. I love stories with time loops so I was hooked right away. Very well written and fun to read! This book was impossible to put down.

Final Cut by Olivia Worley


 book cover for Final Cut

I really enjoyed this fun and suspenseful read! I'm a slasher movie fan so this book was right up my alley. The characters were well developed and it was easy to care about what happened to them. There was a lot of suspense and misdirection. Every time I thought I had guessed the killer's identity, I was wrong. I loved the ending! This is one book you won't be able to put down.

The Graceview Patient by Caitlin Starling


 book cover for The Graceview Patient

 I enjoyed the first half of this book , but the second half was very confusing. I understand trying to convey Margaret's deteriorating physical and mental state, but I'd hope for an explanation by the end of the book. Instead no answers were given and the ending is open ended. Leaving it up to the reader to draw their own conclusions.

Wheel of Blood and Magic: Book One of the Blood and Magic Series by Grace Pevear

 

 I loved this exciting and suspenseful read! I was hooked from the first page. Great world building. It was easy to root for the main characters and to hate the villains. I was confused a couple of times about a character's identity due to the time jumps, but it made sense later on. Great cliffhanger ending. I can't wait for book two!
