Happy book birthday @annabelcwrites.bsky.social. You should totally pick The Outcast Mage, not only for the epic fantasy feeling, but also because it's excellent at treating themes such as class war and not finding your place. And why not, here's my review: jamreads.com/reviews/the-...

The VERY HAPPIEST of book releases to my friend & excellent egg, @edcrockerbooks.bsky.social - LIGHTFALL even got ushered in by 2025's full Wolf Moon, seen here consorting with Mars last night... even the skies greeted his book of wit & unrivalled vampire/werewolf/sorcerer shenanigans in style 5 ⭐️

What a gorgeous ARC package to look forward to, for those lucky enough to be awaiting them! 😊

Banter blood book is very apt and must now officially become a one-man genre in its own right 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Absolutely loving my first book of 2025, Lightfall by Ed Crocker @edcrockerbooks.bsky.social (out 14th Jan) Terrific world building, characters you’ll fall in love with and a gripping mystery involving vampires, werewolves & sorcerers. Not mention great passages such as this.
