MixedI'm gonna put that in: renegade. Just because i think i get that three out of five stars, so naturally it should belong in the third tier, if that makes sense.
The Red Scrolls of Magic (2019)
Others: Leaning negative All Magnus Bane wanted was a vacation. A lavish trip across Europe with Alec Lightwood, the Shadowhunter who, against all odds, is finally his boyfriend. It doesn't seem like too much for the centuries-old High Warlock to ask for. But no sooner have they settled in Paris than an old friend arrives with news about a demon-worshipping cult called the Crimson Hand that is bent on causing chaos around the world. Now Magnus and Alec must race across Europe to track down the Crimson Sand and its elusive new leader before the cult can cause any more damage. As if ti wasn't bad enough that their romantic getaway has been sidetracked, demons are now dogging their every step, and it is becoming harder to tell friend from foe. As their quest for answers becomes increasingly dire, Magnus and Alec have to trust each other more than ever--even if it means revealing the secrets they've both been keeping. The first book in the Eldest Curses series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Cassandra Clare and award-winning science fiction author Wesley Chu, The Red Scrolls of Magic is a fast-paced adventure bursting with magic, humor, and (if demons stop getting in the way) romance that offers a fresh look at the world of the Shadowhunters. This description comes from the publisher. The Red Scrolls of Magic is the first book of the Eldest Curses; this is part of the Shadowhunter world, the first book of which is City of Bones.

Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List
Rachel Cohn
2007 · 239 pages · 2 reviews
Others: Overwhelmingly negativeNaomi loves Ely. And she's kinda in love with him. Ely loves Naomi. But he prefers to be in love with boys. Naomi and Ely have been inseparable since childhood - partially because they've grown up across the hall from each other in the same Manhattan apartment building, and also because they're best friends. Soul mates. Or are they? Just to be safe, they've created a NO KISS LIST - their list of people who are absolutely off-kissing-limits for both of them. The NO KISS LIST protects their friendship and ensures that nothing will rock the foundation of Naomi and Ely: the institution. Until Ely kisses Naomi's boyfriend. And a fateful piece of chewing gum in the wrong place at the wrong time changes everything. Soon a rift of universal proportions threatens to destroy their friendship, and it remains to be seen whether Naomi and Ely can find their way toward new soul-mate prospects...and back to one another. Rachel Cohn and David Levithan have written a love story about love of all kinds, one that reminds us that any great friendship can be as confusing, treacherous, inspiring, and wonderful as any great romance.

Others: MixedThree years ago, Tanner Scott’s family relocated from California to Utah, a move that nudged the bisexual teen temporarily back into the closet. Now, with one semester of high school to go, and no obstacles between him and out-of-state college freedom, Tanner plans to coast through his remaining classes and clear out of Utah. But when his best friend Autumn dares him to take Provo High’s prestigious Seminar—where honor roll students diligently toil to draft a book in a semester—Tanner can’t resist going against his better judgment and having a go, if only to prove to Autumn how silly the whole thing is. Writing a book in four months sounds simple. Four months is an eternity. It turns out, Tanner is only partly right: four months is a long time. After all, it takes only one second for him to notice Sebastian Brother, the Mormon prodigy who sold his own Seminar novel the year before and who now mentors the class. And it takes less than a month for Tanner to fall completely in love with him.

MixedBut, you know, their relationship has developed and grown so much and I love where they're at currently. And to go back to like the end of the beginning, it just wasn't as exciting.
Mixedso this book I actually gave like three stars the plot was just not that good so it's either average or okay I think I'm gonna put average to speak I love Alec and Magnus and that's the series the eldest curses where you're kind of following their blooming romance with each other and I love them so much as characters so like that saved the book for me but the plot itself was just not the most entertaining thing so it's just average
