Welcome to Litsy!

This would be a perfect fall read, and Luthien thinks I‘ve stayed up too late reading the rest of it! Anna is a teenager in a family with psychic powers that also run a bed & breakfast. She meets Colin, who is just now learning his own connection to magic after the murder of his parents. Together they work to find the killers. The book has a sequel, but it also works very well as an independent story.

#MiddleGrade #TRS2023

This middle grade story takes place in the days leading up to Samhain and has cozy fall vibes while the characters fight an evil wraith.

This was a hard one for me to rate because I thought it was a fun story, but at the same time, it didn't feel developed enough. It didn't have much depth, which is fine in a middle grade book, but I think it would have made the book richer. I didn't find it memorable. While being something I really wanted to enjoy, I felt indifferent toward it. I'm going to read the next book, and maybe that will help sort out my mixed feelings.

This was a lovely middle grade. It does deal with grief, death, and murder of parents. The main characters are about 14 in age.

Ravenfall is a magical B&B standing at the border between our world & the Otherworld & the family that runs it all has useful magical powers except for Anna whose only power is foreseeing death. But then Colin shows up looking for his missing brother & information about the magical creature that killed their parents. Soon, even greater mysteries are revealed even as the border between the Otherworld & ours weakens. A fun story with sequel coming.

Still feeling those middle grade spooky autumnal vibes so going with this Goodreads Choice award nominated book for today‘s reading.

This is a fun middle grade fall adventure with magic and friendships and family. The pacing felt a bit off for me overall and I just haven‘t read anything middle grade in a long time so I think my expectations were maybe not realistic. I would be interested to read the next one in the series next fall so it‘s still worth a read for a light autumn spooky vibes book.

Still playing some review catch up.

I've been feeling nostalgic and I'm loving the classics. I almost forgot how much I loved Fear Street. I might need to start a new collection and restart from the beginning.
