It’s new release Tuesday!

If we’ve met, you’ve heard me talk about Helen Scheuerer.. I have loved all of her books so far and this isn’t an exception. Check it out now if forced proximity, elemental magic, and cinnamon roll MMCs are your thing. 😉

If you haven’t picked up a copy of Hopeless Necromantic by shiloh.briar.. seriously, what are you waiting for?

I’m a sucker for dry wit. It’s truly my guilty pleasure when reading. And this one is dry as a bone (you’ll understand this better when you meet my main man, Benjamin 💀)

✨Bonus✨ Book club is next Monday where we’ll be discussing Hopeless Necromantic!
