Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli
I kinda loved this, and I will impatiently wait for the sequel. Two years ago, a bloody revolt occurred, and the three witch queens were killed, and anyone suspected of being a witch was stripped naked in the streets to search for the telltale silver casting scars.

Say A Little Prayer by Jenna Voris
Thank you to Netgalley for providing an Advanced Reader Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This was super cute!

Starfish by Lisa Fipps
This is a middle grade novel in verse, so it’s geared for a bit younger audience than the books I normally read, but it’s still great.
