Wicked Onyx by Debbie Cassidy
3/5 stars
Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing me with an ARC of Wicked Onyx coming out on the 10th of February 2026.
Overall, this was a super enjoyable read with refreshing plotlines that I have not seen done before and some strong main characters. Paranormal academy setting (always a win for me!) and the big mystery surrounding Anamaya kept me interested. There's a constant senes that Anamaya is fighting for both her life and her place in the academy which added tension throughout. ALSO... saucy men (but not too saucy) are much much MUCH appreciated in this book.
However, there was a few issues that brought this book down to a 3/5 for me... At times, the story dragged. in the last 1/4 of the book, Anamaya seems to drift away from her supposed 'goals' and I found myself disengaging more than I wanted to. Aside from this, I enjoyed the first 3/4 of the book immesely and I am awaiting book two! There is so much to uncover, especially when it comes to the academy and its secrets so I KNOW curiosity will pull me back in again.
I recommend for those who want a paranormal mystery with potential romance on the table.
