𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚜𝚙𝚛𝚊𝚢𝚎𝚍 𝚎𝚍𝚐𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚜𝚜 🩰 🦢🎀 ────୨ৎ──── Happy Sunday babes! If there’s one thing I love in special edition books, it’s the sprayed edges. And @everheartbookbox absolutely nailed it with this one! Like ok, everything about this edition is beautiful, but the sprayed edges are my favourite. 🤭🤭 And also it’s pink! Who’s gonna say no to that? But okay not gonna lie, when I see these gorgeous sprayed edges and artworks, it kinda makes me want to get better at drawing or try something different with the doodles on my posts.

I genuinely wish I owned multiple editions of this book because I keep changing how I’m displaying it and I still can’t decide which version I love most 😭📖✨ The artwork on the front is absolutely stunning, and the gold foiling when the sunlight hits it? So, so pretty. But the sword edge… oh my god. You guys already know that has become my latest obsession ⚔️🤍 This gorgeous edition was part of @everheartbookbox ’s March subscription box, and I honestly love it so much. I’m planning to start reading this very soon and cannot wait to share my thoughts with you all 👀 And if you’ve been thinking about signing up to Everheart, don’t forget to use code MEGAN10 at checkout to save some money ✨ • AD | PR • #Bookstagram #fantasy #romantasy #love #bookish

𝕭𝖑𝖔𝖔𝖒𝖘 𝖔𝖋 𝕯𝖆𝖗𝖐𝖓𝖊𝖘𝖘 By @authorhelendomico and @authorannaapplegate Beautiful special edition by @unpluggedbookbox as part of their 2025 Romantasy Advent Calendar QOTD: Have you ever picked a book based on a pretty cover? 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 My review from way back when: “I don’t know if I’d make a worthy King, Little Rebel, but I do know you were created to rule a kingdom. Fates, you could bring an army of Fae to their knees. Your role should never be to sit idly by anyone’s side. Not even mine.” - Kade Blackthorn, your new favorite fae shadow daddy If you enjoyed A Fate Inked in Blood and Trial of the Sun Queen, this is the book for you. First in a new series, with an absolutely delicious cliffhanger (but fear not, it’s a completed series now). Lana’s sense of rage and helplessness at her circumstances, while simultaneously refusing to stay helpless, were really well done. The book is primarily in first-person single POV, but we got an intriguing little taste of dual POV at the very end that had me ravenous for the next book. Rating: 5/5 Spice: 2/5 Tropes: - Fae - Deadly games and trials - Magicless fae princess - Shadow daddy - Prophecies - 🗡️ to throat - Who did this to you? - Mental health/trauma rep - Female rage - Betrayal - Forced proximity

Swooning over their banter! You know Kade is right where he wants to be. If you’re new here, hi!!! We’re Anna Applegate & Helen Domico, Fantasy Romance authors & besties who write together.
