> [@BetsQ](#): > > I am in the middle of _Happiness Falls_, by Angie Kim. Have you read the author’s debut novel, _Miracle Creek_? I was blown away by it. If you haven’t read it I highly, highly recommend it. And if you have, I’d be interested to hear how you think _Happiness Falls_ compares to it. ---

I rec them highly, especially if you like fantasy and snarky humor. ---

The book description makes it sound like something I would write. I’m literally writing a speculative romance right now about a DV survivor featuring spies and assasins and gritty realism. I’ll gonna start this one tonight. (Also, I love Paladins. My favorite class.) ---
