If you’re looking for a murder mystery packed with so many twists and turns you stop even trying to predict them, Catch Your Death by Ravena Guron is it.
I loved this book from page one to the very end. It’s told through multiple POVs, with these transcription-style bits that break up the chapters in such a fun way. It keeps the pacing sharp and adds to the mystery, which honestly just keeps building. Because it’s not just one mystery, there are layers, and every time you think you’ve figured something out, there’s more.
If you love a good murder mystery or thriller, this is absolutely for you. Especially if you enjoyed A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder or anything by Holly Jackson tbf, you’ll fly through this.
Is this high literature? No. Is it an incredibly fun, addictive read that you won’t want to put down? Yes. Completely.
The twists just keep coming. And when you think they’re done, they’re not. You really don’t see them coming.
I was fully obsessed with this one. It actually pulled me out of a reading slump after a big, heavy fantasy read, which says a lot.
So if you’re looking for something murdery, twisty, and fast-paced, this is your sign. Add it to your TBR. Right now.
I give this 4,5 stars!!

It’s been a week since I finished House of Sky and Breath, and I genuinely needed that time to get my thoughts straight because… wow. What a book.
If you’re looking for something light and easy, this is not it. This is heavy urban fantasy, packed with detail, and I am completely obsessed. It’s over 800 pages of pure gold. I loved every second of it.
Did it take me a long time to read? Yes. But that’s because you really have to pay attention. You can’t skim this book. Every detail matters, every line builds something, and it all comes together in a way that makes the effort more than worth it. Honestly, I think this might be the longest it’s ever taken me to finish a book, but I wouldn’t change that for anything.
The world-building, the relationships, the plot twists, the main storyline, the side plots, everything is done so well. Sarah J. Maas truly knows how to craft a story that pulls you in completely.
And the ending… the ending. I’m still thinking about it.
Did I immediately start House of Flame and Shadow? No, I needed a bit of a break because this series demands your full attention. But did I think about starting it every single day? Absolutely.
It even put me in a bit of a reading slump, which says a lot. Luckily, I had another great book lined up, otherwise I might have been stuck there for a while.
If you’re looking for a sign to read the Crescent City series, this is it. Just know what you’re getting into: a detailed, immersive, and intense fantasy experience. But if that’s your thing, you’re going to love it.
5 stars, no hesitation.
