I like goodreads, sometimes I forget to update it as often as I should (that's on me) I take it to the library with me so I dont accidentally check-out the 13th book in a series. I also have the app open when I go book shopping since I have a big TBR list i try to find books discounted.

What an amazing book! Dark,clever and thrilling! My favourite read of 2020
I read this book not realising that it was part of a series but I felt like if you didn't want to read the books in order than you don't have to.

The story lines are different but same characters are used.

The chapters are short, but captivating

This book was an amazing read and I can't wait to read more of Cavanaghs books as he is now my favourite author.

I recommend if you love a good, dark thriller

I had intended to read this book on a Florida beach vacation, which was canceled due to the pandemic. It made me miss the beach, with its lush descriptions of the South Carolina Low Country. Harper finds solace in the beach and a dolphin friend (yes, you read that right). The book is silly and cheesy, and exactly what I would have wanted to read while on my trip. I especially liked Carson and will eventually pick up the next in the series (each book is told from the perspective of a different sister). 3+ stars.

The Lord of the Rings was my favorite book series growing up. I compare all of the books that I read to Lord of the Rings. J.R.R. Tolkien spent so much time and effort on these books, that is it is easy to see just how incredible they are. The Two Towers does a very effective job of picking up where the first book leaves off. I love the story as we follow Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli in their adventures across Middle Earth. Tolkien does a fantastic job of building the tension and heightening this book.

This is a light-hearted story about magic with a side interest of romance. The story and relationships in the book flow very naturally but don't expect everything to be straightforward! There are some twists and turns in this book, some that are explained and some that aren't. This book drew me in from the start and the time passed very quickly whilst I was reading it. Very enjoyable both as Young Adult and as a Paranormal. Further books in this series are now on my wish list.

This, the first book in the Poppy McAllister series, was a five star read for me. Maybe even 6. I loved Poppy’s continual inner monologue. I loved the way I could actually relate to her. I loved the way she learned to believe in herself. I loved Fig! It was refreshing to have a cat in a cozy series who was so completely self-absorbed and cat-like.

A well-thought-out mystery to top it all off kept me engrossed enough to finish this book in a single sitting. If you enjoy a clever, humorous mystery with a loveable protagonist that you just want good things to happen to, go get yourself a copy of Class Reunions Are Murder. You will not be disappointed.

<i>Note: Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me a free copy of the book.</i>
