Review for Unfamiliar
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
I was so excited when I saw this one pop up on Netgalley, I have heard of the series before but never had the chance to read it. Plus, with how slow Tapas at times is, I am happy that I can now just read it at my own speed. XD
😍 Planchette was such a fun MC. I really loved following her on her journey to make her house a happy home. She was a sweet witch and I loved how friendly she was. I also loved finding out about her powers + I loved seeing her try to help out the ghosts, well, after she had some food in her. XD Priorities!
😍 Babs, Sun, and Pinyon! I loved meeting and getting introduced to each of the new characters and I loved each and all of the girls. Babs who is a shy siren who could be really powerful if she was less shy. Sun who is a girl with an eyeball in her hair and a kick-ass attitude but also a terrible curse that she is trying to get rid off. Pinyon who hasn’t gotten that much luck in the magical department or the familiar department. I cannot wait to read more about these girls and see them grow.
😍 The friendship between these girls! It was just instant and I loved that. They had a connection. Yes, even Sun, though she likes to deny everything. XD
😍 The art! It was such a fun style, but the best part for me was the eyes and how they kept changing to show emotions or thoughts. Like when Planchette talks about ghosts she gets ghosties in her eyes. Or when Babs unlocks her powers she gets hearts. SO much fun.
😍 The various ghosts and their history. We don’t see all the ghosts, some are just typical ghost form, but there are a few that are human. The backstory for each of them was sad, but I am glad that they also got some resolve. One story especially just had me tearing up because it was so sad and so haunting.
😍 Getting backstory on the characters! Mostly Sun and Babs who knew each other in high school.
😍 I am curious what other magical creatures/humans live in the town.
😍 That cover is so cute!
😍 The story was just magical and I flew through this book. Laughing, giggling, ohhing, ahhing, and having a great time!
All in all, I would highly recommend this book to all! So much fun!
