A Song Below Water by Bethany C. Morrow
4.0
Woah this book was amazing. Sisterhood, strong women, and Black girl magic. To me, this is a story about finding power in who you are ✨
The beginning was intense and fast paced but then the story kinda slowed down. I was in it for the payoff at the end where we find out about Effie’s past and all the secrets everyone is hiding from her and Tavia and the last 25% of the book is a RIDE omg. I stayed up until 2 am finishing it because once you reach the 80% ish mark there is no stopping.
I loved the sister dynamic between our two MCs Tavia and Effie. They’re always there for one another and it’s great to see girls having each others backs instead of being at each other’s throats (as we see in so many YA novels).
If you love character arcs this book is for you!! Tavia was my fav it was really awesome to see her change throughout the book and find her voice.

I knew what Effie was pretty early on but OMG all the reveals at the end I couldn’t have asked for a better payoff from this book.
We stan powerful sisters!!!
