ICYMI, a romantic dark academy novel with a South Western touch

The reviews for #WitchQueenRising continue to be a highlight of this journey. If you can't wait until 4/21/2026 for the official release, please consider requesting an ARC to see what all the hype is about. Info in 🔗🌲 linktr.ee/AuthorSavann...

The Book of Autumn, by @mollyobooks.bsky.social (pub by Kensington) is a fresh take on dark academia, a shift in the setting and in the narrative ways; the romantic touches are also a great addition. Full thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/the-... 💙📚

So I may have got a little bit carried away with this review. But Fortune's Fool by Angela Boord has given me many thoughts and even more feelings, and even then I don't feel like I've done it justice. What an absolutely spectacular book and I'm ready to dive into the rest of the series.
