A Perilous Undertaking by Deanna Raybourn
Man, Mrs. Ramsforth should’ve been able to get away with the murder and move away to Greece and live her best life. Not her husband or any of her friends respected her marriage!
Anyways, this series really shines with Veronica and Stoker are bantering and nerding out together. The murder mystery investigation plot was okay (as someone who doesn’t read much of that genre), but quite predictable to me. I was hoping Raybourn would surprise us as she seems to be taking a feminist angle with Veronica and her general storyline. Only cool, strong women get the feminism lens. If you’re a weak, emotional woman just trying to survive in these wretched times… shame on you, honestly!
2.5

The Selection by Kiera Cass
3.0
This book is definitely a guilt pleasure. The end irritated me, and I'll probably continue in the trilogy.

I will never be emotionally okay ever again. 10/10, would recommend.
