First read for Haitian Heritage Month, and it delivered! I absolutely loved The Rings of Revolution! It’s such a creative and powerful fantasy that shows the history of the Haitian Revolution. Emmanuel Jean-Pierre combines real history with magic, resistance, and Haitian culture. I could really imagine everything as I read. The characters were strong and unforgettable, and the story kept me hooked from start to finish. As a Haitian-American, it was amazing to see this part of history reimagined with pride and power. If you love historical fantasy with purpose, magic, and heart, this is a must-read!

The Silent Patient started off a bit slow for me, but once it picked up, I was all in!!! By the middle of the book, I felt like a detective piecing together clues. I cracked part of the case before the big reveal and I was screaming!!! The twists and turns kept me hooked! Definitely worth sticking with!

Tomi, girl! Let me start by saluting 🫡 you for this amazing book. I was able to visualize every scene as I read. I was hooked immediately, and the character development, especially of Amari and Zelie, was fantastic. I’m even more excited about the upcoming screen adaptation!

This was a chill and cute read. I liked how it blended humor with real-life struggles, especially the pressure of being a first-gen Haitian American teen dealing with money, expectations, and figuring out love. Overall a good read.

I loved Children of Blood and Bone, but I was kind of disappointed with this one. I still cared about the characters and wanted to see what happened, but the story felt pretty repetitive and almost like it was from a whole different series. I’m still invested and will read book three.
