If you love Carrie by Stephen King, you should read this book! I enjoyed this book a lot. The book is laid out like a mystery podcast with pieces of the story. I spend most of the book rooting for Madison and wishing that she didn’t meet the same fate as Carrie.

If you like The Wizard of Oz, stories about magical wizards and great magic wars this is the book for you. I personally enjoyed the way this book reminds me of The Wizard of Oz and Nevermoor.

You know that great feeling when your dress has pockets? How about that icky feeling when it's the week you really, really need chocolate? Cassandra Calin certainly does!

Renegades is a great read, especially if you like Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir! It has caped villains and superheroes with complicated backstories. It includes a very complicated love triangle between two heroes, with a dash of enemies to lovers. The main character Nova, is very interesting.
