Yana Vargas (Editor)'s Reviews > Amari and the Night Brothers

It’s not hard to love this book, mainly because of Amari. Right from the very first scene, she stole my heart. Amari is strong-willed and very brave and overall has an amazing personality. She lives in a poor neighborhood but goes to a posh school and what she’s going through in that school pains me. So when the fantasy side of the story begins, I was elated because finally, Amari gets to shine more.

The fantasy element really surprised me, not because it’s new but because I enjoyed it a lot. I enjoyed learning about the Bureau and I found them interesting along all the magical creatures and abilities in Supernatural world. the supernatural abilities are also enjoyable to read even though there’s nothing new in them. This made me realize that the writing is incredible.

I also enjoyed the mystery side with Quinton.I think the author did a good job at handling that specific side of the story. I was eager to know more about Quinton in every chapter even though he’s really not present in the huge part of the story, but his presence is always there because Amari’s connection to her brother is very pure. And of course, Quinton is very much connected to the Bureau (not a spoiler because it’s very obvious. LOL).

Speaking of Quinton, his story is not the only aspect I love but also his character in general. I love his relationship or bond with Amari. He’s very protective and loyal. And the fact that I love him from the very first time Amari talked about him says a lot. Aside from Quinton, I also loved the other side characters. This book is filled with characters you’ll love. I can’t say much to avoid spoiling things especially because some of the characters, you just can’t be sure about them at first. All I can do is name them. I ended up loving Elsie, Agent Magnus and Fiona and of course Amari and Quinton’s mother. Even Dylan and Lara kept my interest. The characters are probably the best part of this book.

Yay! 5 stars. I really wasn’t expecting to still have a 5-star read as the year is ending but here it is. I just can’t find anything that I don’t like in this book. I absolutely love it and I’m sure you will too.
