I really liked the viewpoint of the main character. As a Malaysian-American, Jess straddles the line of both cultures. It's an element that comes into play multiple times throughout the story. I loved learning about the spirits and the clash between religions. The only thing that grated on me was Jess' naivete. Overall, a fast-paced read full of pissed off spirits.

Great author choice for this month's #queerbc @PuddleJumper

PuddleJumper I could understand Jess' refusal to accept things but after a while it got a bit frustrating! 2d

This one was much better than the first one. The ending still left something to be desired but UGH I love a fake-dating plotline.

How to Date Your Dragon | Molly Harper

pick

It's a paranormal romance series that follows a friend group in a small town called Mystic Bayou. Well more like chosen family by the end. It is a sweet connection and none of them are the bad boy types. They are a bit spicy though. It's a series of 8 books each following a different couple getting together and bonding with everyone while they all work to help fix the town's troubles. (Continued in comments)

RedxoHearts You could honestly read them alone but I think its much more rewarding to read them all. The story just came together so nicely. Also loved how the author picked other less common beings like a dragon, selkies, a banshee and a werebear. So this review is for all of them and my official rating is 3.5 so round up to 4. My main complaint is that I want more from Mystic Bayou 6d

Deifio Sounds really good! I read a couple of her other books. Too bad that it's an audible only series. 😢 6d

Black Water Sister | Zen Cho

so-so

Jess, having recently moved to Malaysia w/ her parents, starts hearing a voice in her head that claims to be her grandmother who needs help w/ some unfinished business. Only then Jess gets mixed in w/ a god, gangsters, & family secrets.

I really loved the world building & the fantastical elements in this. But there was something about how Jess & Ah Ma‘s relationship shifted that bugged me. & this got much darker than I usually enjoy.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
