Law Snake Oil sounds a lot like a mystery/thriller version of Youthjuice. It feels like a coincidence. Are there any similarities? The only options here are fantasy, mystery, thriller or a combination of the three. Can you recommend me a book to read from this list? I prefer fantasy.


PANAGIOTIS MOUTAFIDIS Probably the last one as u like fantasy .
