One of my favourite YA reads from this summer, and meant to be started in the morning and finished late into the night. The heroine, Bree Matthews, convincingly kicks ass, and she forges fearlessly into the world of UNC Chapel Hill battling teenage growing pains, a magical secret society, and the looming end of the world. Deonn seamlessly integrates the world of Arthurian legend into a Southern college campus, without steering away from difficult questions of race, heritage and places of memory.

“This book showed up at the perfect time. It addresses many things that we as Americans have not discussed. Weaving the Arthurian legend with Black southern folklore make this a magical and unique book on so many levels. All the emotions and experiences that Briana goes through are so relevant and timely. I was totally transported and enthralled with this book, which is going to make waves in the fantasy community. Much needed waves. Kudos to Tracy Deonn for writing such a fantastic piece of fiction.”
