Loved the era, but the plot dragged and left too much unexplained. Characters lacked depth, and the ending felt unresolved. Some vivid scenes, but overall it didn‘t land for me. If you're into historical fiction and don't mind ambiguity, give it a shot—otherwise, skip it.

The bones are buried deep, white against the velvet of dark water. I shudder in the cold press of the sea as I swim beneath giant rib cages. The chill has burrowed into my core, where it nestles in the pit of my stomach, settling next to the promise I made to Olokun.

so-soAkenna was so impulsive and immature I forgot I wasn‘t reading YA until they started screwing. She continued on with her antics to everyone‘s detriment & was some how seen as a great leader almost simultaneously. That lowers my rating, that action was amazing & worldbuilding was elaborate. But the MC was infuriating

so-soI found myself conflicted on this one, rating it somewhere between a 3 and a 4. While the writing didn't particularly impress me, I was utterly captivated by the central mystery of the plot—I just had to know what Grace was.
Monica's gullibility was honestly annoying, but the sheer, over-the-top absurdity of the story kept me entertained.
pickI really loved this one. The magic system was really interesting and complex. I also enjoyed the character growth and all the twists and turns as the story unfolded. Navigating family responsibilities and personal relationships can be complicated, and the author did a great job depicting that. There are definite parallels to real-world issues and politics. I was pleased with the vibe at the end. And I love this cover art!
pickYou‘re Not Supposed To Die Tonight is a fast paced young adult thriller/horror story.
