Review: Serafina and the Twisted Staff

Serafina and the Twisted Staff Serafina and the Twisted Staff by Robert Beatty
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was lucky enough to get an Advanced Reader Copy of Serafina and the Twisted staff. I picked up the first book Serafina and the Black Cloak at an author signing event and was anxiously waiting for the Sequel. Twisted Staff picks up a little after the events in Black Cloak and follows Serafina and Brayden as they face a new threat to Biltmore. Overall, this book was as well written as I expected and left me waiting for the third book in the series. Serafina is one of the best middle grade series I have read in a long time. I would definitely suggest picking this up on its release in July.

Wildwood Magic by Willa Reece

Wildwood Magic was one of my most anticipated reads for this year, and it definitely held up to my expectations. It was just as magical as Wildwood Whispers, and I loved getting a look at the previous generation in Morgan's Gap. As a person who grew up in Southwest VA, I can also say that Willa Reece does an excellent job of capturing small town life and Appalachian culture. As always, I'm hoping there will be more to come.  *I received a review copy from the publisher through Netgalley

Accomplished: A Georgie Darcy Novel by Amanda Quain

Image
Accomplished is a modern day retelling of Pride and Prejudice from Georgiana Darcy's point of view. It picks up in the aftermath of her older brother and guardian discovering George Wickham selling drugs out of her dorm room and deals with Georgiana learning to cope on her own and accept help from others.The story is written in the first person, and there is lots of teenage angst, but overall it is a really good story. I'm always interested to see how author's handle the Wickham situation in modern retellings, and I think Amanda Quain chose well. Overall, if you don't mind a bit of teenage angst, I highly recommend this book. *I received a review copy from the publisher through Netgalley

The Nine: Origins by Kes Trester

The Nine: Origins has so many of the things I love in books. There is a well thought out system of magic, a secret society, an intriguing mystery, and some Dark Academia vibes. I loved this book and couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the rest of the series. * I received a review copy from the publisher through Netgalley
