1. Name of book. White Cat by Holly Black

2. Small blurb about the book.

Amazon summary:

Cassel comes from a shady, magical family of con artists and grifters. He doesn’t fit in at home or at school, so he’s used to feeling like an outsider. He’s also used to feeling guilty-he killed his best friend, Lila, years ago.

But when Cassel begins to have strange dreams about a white cat, and people around him are losing their memories, he starts to wonder what really happened to Lila. In his search for answers, he discovers a wicked plot for power that seems certain to succeed. But Cassel has other ideas-and a plan to con the conmen.

3. Why this book is awesome.

Cassel has a fantastically entertaining internal voice; snarky and guilt-stricken and the story moves at a very fast pace, the female lead (I don't want to say more) is fierce and determined and damaged and violence (especially in the sequels, which you will want to read after reading this book. The world-build is consistent and interesting and there are some great secondary characters. Also! The hero is a POC.
