Book Review: The Heirs by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
If you like mystery/thriller, you will love this book about 5 siblings who were trained to be prodigies in different skills. Their father adopted them all while they were young to be guinea pigs in his experiment to create child prodigies using an intense training method he called "The Button Method". There's a Brain, an Olympian, a Maestro, an Artist, and a "Failure" who did not develop a skill. After their father is murdered at his annual prodigy ball, an investigation is launched that delves into everyone's own personal secrets and mysteries. They are all implicated in their own father’s murder and you will never expect what actually happened in this page-turner!

Book Review: Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
Holy cow, this was such a great book. It is fantasy, but takes place in this world. After her mother dies in a freak accident, Bree goes to a special high school program at UNC and learns that she has the amazing ability to interact with magic and see demons. After getting set up with a mentor who also has the same abilities, she finds out about the Legendborn, a secret society of descendants of King Arthur and his court, Somehow this book combines King Arthur’s court, magic, the history of racism in the South, romance, and an important discussion about grief and mental health. SO GOOD!
