I liked because you're following them at the end of their school season. They have a background story that you're kind of discovering from their point of views one by one, and I just really liked it. I thought it was fun, and I like again, murder mysteries in magical worlds, they just clearly do it for me.
Picking the BEST Book I Read Each Month in 2026
- Best of 2026 · 9 books
I would recommend Caliban and the Witch and also Walkable City and Doppelganger.
Again, I don't tend to give a ton of romantasies recommendations, but I think this is an easy one to get into if you just want to try it. Some of them are more hit and miss, but that's a pretty solid one.
I was so surprised that I enjoyed it that much because I tried another book by this author before and I kind of put it down. It was urban fantasy, Magic Bites, and I tried after that vlog, if you want to see it.
Didn't even choose myself to read it and I loved it so much. It was a fun sci-fi and I feel like I need more fun sci-fi in my life and that was a really good one.
And it's very enemies to lovers and it's very, very heavy on the classic tropes of romantasy, but for some reason, again, it worked for me and I didn't read anything else that great that So, that's kind of terrible. yeah, the fact that this is my best book that month is kind of sad, but I had a lot of fun reading it.
I kind of have to give it to The 22 Murders of Madison May, which I feel like it's a 3.5. It was a good popcorn read. Again, kind of a fun sci-fi.
And The Girl with 1,000 Faces started as the best book of my that month, but then it just for me.
So, I was clearly emotionally invested. I understand it was very readable, but I still had a lot of issues with it.
Again, was really emotionally invested in the characters. I feel like paranormal could be hit and miss, but I thought this one was really well done. It's a pretty chunky book, but I could not put it down.
I enjoyed the characters. I enjoyed how we would switch point of view, kind of seeing back timelines, and I was really emotionally invested in the storylines.
But, I got so invested in the story. I wasn't sure at first. Again, I was giving these authors a second chance, but could not put it down.
I feel like Under the Dome, I kind of hated the ending, and Stephen King is almost too good at writing terrible people. So, I don't know. It was kind of long, too.
I would recommend Caliban and the Witch and also Walkable City and Doppelganger.
I had also really enjoyed We Used to Live Here by the author that came out last year.
