My hands are shaking as I type this—ENCHANTRA IS AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 😭 I am officially a #1 NYT Bestselling Author 😭 Where do I literally even start??? This is possibly the hardest book I’ve ever written. I talked a little on tour about how hard it was for me to face this book knowing the daunting task that it’d be following up Phantasma. In the eleventh hour my editors and I did a major read through to make sure that I put every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears I had into this book, until I felt that it was up to the standard I set for myself. It’s the hardest work I’ve ever done on a story. But I love this book. And that feels like the biggest win in the world right now. This point of my career is what 16 year old me stayed up dreaming about while reading my favorite books until 2am on school nights. Sneaking pages of my books in between classes and when the teachers weren’t looking. Joining fandoms on tumblr and writing (really terrible) stories for my friends. Begging my mom to take me to the bookstore on Tuesdays to get the latest releases or to my favorite authors tour stops hours away (who are now my colleagues that I’ve shared stages with!). I couldn’t have done this without the incredible team behind me—my editors Jack and Sam, my pub teams at Second Sky and Forever, my agent Emily. Or my husband Iz and best friends Darci and Em, who all made sure I was fed and well looked after during every late night deadline and who i literally could not function without. I adore you all so much. And to all of you readers who have shown up for me and these books in a way that feels truly mindblowing—I sold my soul to a Devil for a KitKat bar and a bottle of Dr Pepper years ago but if I still had it, it’d belong to all of you entirely. Thank you for everything. 💜💜💜 (Also lol it is not lost on me how amusing it is that Genevieve would absolutely thrive knowing she hit this bucket list item for me. She’d be like “Obviously.” 😂💜)

Who’s ready to meet Astoria, Lucas, and Valen from BOUND TO BURN?! Astoria: a black-market magical book dealer hiding from her past. Lucas: her charming book thief partner who would do anything for her. Valen: her aristocratic ex-fiancé who wants her back. The men hate each other but are forced into an alliance to save her.  She’s trying to keep her shit together before the curse she cast consumes her. Do you think this trio is going to succeed? Or kill each other before the end of book 1?  BOUND TO BURN, my dark why choose romantasy, is releasing June 18 with @secondskybooks ! #whychooseromance #romantasybooks #booksbooksbooks
