Published: Balzer + Bray - January 19th, 2021

Such an inventive spin on the magical school narrative. The fantastical world building is superb, yet is not used as an escape from real-world problems. Amari is an awesome hero with a heart of gold and a will of iron. I truly cannot wait for the next book in the series. There's so much potential!

This series is utterly bonkers and I am utterly obsessed. Reincarnated gods and identity theft run rampant through this high fantasy that reads like an apocalyptic Kingkiller Chronicles. For bonus points, Jenn Lyons actually crushes deadlines and book four is coming soon!

ISBN: 9781538746837

Published: Grand Central Publishing - November 10th, 2020

 

More than a true crime book, more than a memoir, Becky Cooper weaves a compelling and vivid portrait of an unsolved murder at Harvard and pulls together threads of misogyny, issues with academic culture, silencing at elite institutions, and the ways that we rewrite the stories of female victims. A striking portrait for fans of I'll Be Gone in the Dark.
