Goodreads review by Bookishrealm on June 02, 2024

An unexpected book! I'm not sure what I expected based on the cover, but this definitely was different! 3.5 Stars CW: bullying, parental figure with financial issues, some violence (due to paranormal creature) Deephaven is a middle grade fantasy/mystery that many will closely relate to dark academia.......more

4,5⭐️ I would love this book to stay with me a bit longer, as three hundred pages is not that much, but if author ever comes with an idea of a sequel or related story, I will so gladly read it. Deephaven was wonderful – spooky, queer, perfectly spaced. A good horror and great characters, what's there......more

Goodreads review by Leo on October 03, 2023

I couldn't put it down for the last 2/3rds of the book. Loved our main character, loved all the side characters. Great mystery. Was pretty intense toward the end. I loved the general atmosphere of the book, the found family elements, and I am very VERY much looking forward to more. Recommending this......more
