And yes, we tortured her with the options. BUY IT HEREOnce Upon a Time meets Grimms dark fairytales in this tale about vengeance, curses and love. Eveline Rafter has a gift. Not only can she hit every target with her twin golden knives, but she can find lost things. When Princess Snowfall of Bellatorre goes missing, Eveline is hired by the mysterious Huntsman to find her. With enough medallions to ransom a king, she knows she can't resist. But when she's thrust into a power game with old and terrifying magic, Eveline can't ignore the brewing unrest, or the shadows, or the secrets fighting to break free. When her dark past begins to catch up with her, Eveline begins to question the one thing she trusted most: Herself. Confused by her desires for the Huntsman, Eveline tries to navigate her curse, her fate and her friendships. But with a bloodthirsty Queen out to eat their hearts, Eveline and her companions soon find that not all stories have a happily ever after. Set against the dark forests of old fairy tales, in a kingdom ruled by an evil queen who consumes hearts for their youth and power, The Gilded Mirror is a YA dark retelling of the original Grimm's fairytales. GoodReads reviews:'This was a wonderful fairytale rendition of epic proportions.''The Gilded Mirror was an action packed, super fun read, full of adventure.''This fantasy elegantly blends a story based in fairytales seamlessly with an effortless flow.''The Gilded Mirror is an epic YA Fantasy read that I thoroughly enjoyed.

We played Never Have I Ever Spoiled My Own Book and Literary Would You Rather--plus we totally geeked out over quote books and the sheer trauma of academia.IN STASIS (BUY IT ON BOOKSHOP)"In Stasis" is a lyrical, slow-burn survival novel that invites you to explore a dualityof worlds and survival from the perspective of an average woman."Jessi is forced to choose to flee to the forest with her dog, Janus, after facing abetrayal and to avoid arrest from the newly established authoritarian regime.Deep amongst the trees she must learn what it means to survive-both in thewilderness and this new world.Convinced she can live, unnoticed in the forest, Jessi must grasp to her humanity, uncover dimmed skills, and cling on to the hope there's a way through this.Lurking beneath the surface is the nagging question: Is she truly alone in this vast expanse?Each day a lucky gift, hiding away from the other shoe that threatens to drop, just beyond the horizon, as signs of the world she left behind begin to creep in.Survival demands everything. Without an option to opt out, every day living is an act of resistance.Every choice demands her re-evaluation of what is necessary to endure in the face of erasure."BookShopEvery purchase on the site financially supports independent bookstores.RedBubbleBringing more creativity into the world.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

After a chance encounter with the culprit, he is left infected with something terrifying, thrust into a surreal nightmare of starvation and consumption that is all too familiar.Succumbing to his infection, Xavier is drawn into the cobbled-together family squatting in Leigh Pierce’s basement. People who, through a myriad of roads, fell into the same self-destructive cycle of indigency, harboring dark secrets and darker appetites.Now, Xavier is forced to confront the cost of survival in a world that has disregarded him, lost in a messy family dynamic of codependency and complicity—a dynamic he’s desperate to break.You can pre-order a SIGNED copy from Briana's website: https://brianancoxwriter.com/#booksBookShopEvery purchase on the site financially supports independent bookstores.RedBubbleBringing more creativity into the world.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

BEYOND THE BORDER FOREST comes out September 30, 2025 (WHICH IS SOON), make sure to pre-order from the BookShop.ORG link below to support indie authors, bookstores, and this podcast!BEYOND THE BORDER FORESTTwo kings rule the woods—the Oak King in Summer and the Holly King in Winter—and no mortal may enter their realm without permission. But when seventeen-year-old Rowan Gwózdek’s older sister goes missing, Rowan must search the forest for her, risking the kings’ wrath. She enlists the help of her sister’s hunting rival Keziah, a trans (and very handsome) hunter with a mysterious connection to the Oak King. He offers to lead her through the forest to find a magical wish granter called the Bear Maiden.   Together, Rowan and Keziah face mossmen, a wood dragon, and other fearsome creatures who serve the Oak King. To make matters worse, Rowan stumbles upon the Holly King, the Oak King’s nemesis, and becomes tangled in the conflict between the two kings. To get her sister back, Rowan will have to join in the battle, even if it means she can never return home.   BUY IT ON BOOKSHOP.ORGHosts: Jessica Mary, K.

At Highmark, the lake resort where their families vacationed, the two were in a world of their own. Or at least Mandy got to be part of Sara's world.But now Sara’s dead. The police ruled her death an accident; a tragic mistake after a night of impaired judgment. For the past year, Mandy's coped by escaping: leaving home and barely keeping it together at school. The last thing she wants to do is return to Highmark this summer—even if she does need "closure." As soon as she's back, though, she hears the whispers: someone killed Sara Ellis.And if she’s not careful, they'll figure out it's all her fault.As evidence resurfaces and anonymous accusations are scrawled in angry red spray paint, Mandy must confront the truths she's been avoiding about last summer. Because someone wants to make her pay for what happened to Sara that night.BUY IT ON BOOKSHOP.ORGHosts: Jessica Mary, K.
