First in a series. Cat and mouse between a Tokyo detective and a school teacher who has confessed to murdering the famous author who blackmailed him into ghost writing his newest books. The detective feels there’s something wrong with the confession and so dives into the childhoods of each man..

Funny and positive book to read

So suspenseful yet so exciting! Harry can’t seem to stay out of trouble!

Really good, chilling ending and never guessed right about who was good or bad...

Not one of his best…started off strong but then got too confusing!

Boo had great tips, really liked the co author. Dan Harris is ..interested but seems genuine.

I got from the book that it is ok to give up your stuff when you don’t need it or fit in it anymore and you can dream about all the other people that will love your things.

I enjoyed this short novel-in-verse penned by Arriel Vinson, one of Reese’s LitUp fellows. There are beautiful, poetic moments especially as Jae skates. I enjoyed the bit of a love story and how this book felt like a coming-of-age/maturation moment. I listened to the audiobook on Spotify

I think this book should be read because it has an interesting story plot and a good compromise.

My favorite part of this romantasy is the angsty relationship between Odessa and the Guardian. This book is filled with terrifying magical creatures, a mysterious rage-inducing sickness, blood oaths, betrayal and secrets. I loved the first 75% and then once the romance storyline transitioned, it lost a bit of steam but the action of the book soared in the final chapters (A blood bath! Big reveals! Cliffhangers!). I really enjoyed the narration though some of Samantha Brentmoor’s male voices blended together. I listened to the audiobook on Libby and am already looking forward to the next in the series.
