"this book lemme just tell you is so ridiculously good. it's captivating, keeps you on edge and after you finish the first book you can't help but to need the second and third. If I could reread it again for the first time I would it's so amazing and it has its way of making a connection with you through characters. this series is really good for anyone who enjoys the mortal instruments + infernal devices along with mystical/sci-fi series"

"Yes a few depending on what you like? I like the Shadowhunters collection by Cassandra Claire, Six of Crows series by Leigh Bardugo(adult rated), the court of Thornes and Roses by Sarah J Maas(adult rated), a stand alone favorite is Second Chance Contract by M. Robinson (adult rated), the Witcher collection by Andrzej Sapkowski was good but last seemed rushed and not well put together, two less known collections were the Everless series by Sara Holland and the Hunter series by Mercedes Lackey"
