unbelievable
The stranger follows the stoy of Adam Price and the secret that has just been revealed to him by a man known only as "The Stanger". With new twists in every chapter, The Stranger should have you hooked from start to finish. Well written and plot twists in all the right places; I couldn't recommend this enough.
The Stranger is also a British television series made as a Netflix original, I would however recommend to anyone that they read this phenomenal novel before even attempting to watch the series.

I really enjoy Kate Mosse's books, and I always devour them. This book is the start of the new series, and, of course, it takes place in Mosse's favorite area, Carcassonne.
Honestly, the mystery involving Minou was fairly easy to solve, at least for me. I enjoyed the characters and the writing overall.

Now, I just need to find a copy of The City of Tears, the second book in the series. Mosse's books are fairly hard to find here in the USA sometimes, so I'm on the hunt.

I've had Agatha All Along stuck in my head for weeks and I'm not even mad about it.

This series is wonderfully paced, brimming with moments for both fans of the movies and comics alike, really fleshes out Wanda's trauma in a meaningful way, sets up SO much of what's to come, and hits all the right emotional buttons along the way.

The first of many MCU series coming to Disney+ landed and dispelled most doubts about this chosen format for this phase, and I'm excited for what comes next.

I guess this was a good lead up to the next and final book in the series, the one where hopefully Kaylee and the gang kick some serious demon arse and get rid of Avari and the other two evil bleeders forever. It's been a long time brewing and I'm sure it will be really good.

As I've mentioned before, this isn't my favourite series but I have to admit it does seem to be getting better the more I read (though truthfully, I didn't think it was as good as the last book).
