The Secret World of Maggie Grey by Granger

OG's pick — 4 stars, I want to enroll genre: dark academia fantasy, supernatural, HBCU fiction who this is for: those who grew up on Harry Potter and always wondered what it would look like if it was Black, set in Atlanta, and has sirens + witches. OG's personal synopsis Drew Collins University is a hidden HBCU underneath the streets of Atlanta where necromancy is a major, sirens walk the halls, and magic is fed by something real. Maggie Grey has been hearing her grandmother's stories about this world her whole life and writing them off as folklore. she is wrong. when she finds her way to DCU, she finds her people, finds out what she actually is, and finds herself at the center of a murder investigation that puts her bloodline on trial. this book is Hogwarts meets Atlanta and I mean that as the highest compliment. the world Granger built is the kind you want to actually live in. It's a enjoyable ride.
