The opening lines effortlessly captured my attention and set the tone for the entire story. I soon found myself engaged and invested in the story because of the subtle humour and clever use of cliffhangers at the end of most chapters. I also enjoyed the multiple points of view as each had a distinct and realistic voice.

GOOD RICH PEOPLE by Eliza Jane Brazier
There is something hypnotic and compelling about Eliza Jane Brazier’s writing in this book. Her conversational writing style and the constant atmosphere of unease kept me deeply engaged. I also enjoyed the two alternating points of view (POVs), as it gives readers the whole picture and adds more tension to the story. The contrast between these two narratives is skillfully used to raise interesting points for readers to consider.

AS GOOD AS DEAD by Holly Jackson
Holly Jackson’s writing is just as vivid and striking as ever. The story she weaves is brought to life through the intricate details and creative media elements I have come to expect from this series. However, I was slightly disappointed that this book only has a few media elements compared to previous books since these were one of my favourite things about the series.

GOOD GIRL, BAD BLOOD by Holly Jackson
Pippa Fitz-Amobi is on the case again in this fantastic sequel! ‘Good girl, bad blood’ begins soon after the events in the previous book. These events are creatively recapped using the various media elements I now associate with this series. Much to my delight, new media elements like the AGGGTM podcast and online articles are even introduced in this book.
