Lennon Carter’s life is falling apart.

Then she gets a mysterious phone call inviting her to take the entrance exam for Drayton College, a school of magic hidden in a secret pocket of Savannah. Lennon has been chosen because—like everyone else at the school—she has the innate gift of persuasion, the ability to wield her will like a weapon, using it to control others and, in rare cases, matter itself.

After passing the test, Lennon begins to learn how to master her devastating and unsettling power. But despite persuasion’s heavy toll on her body and mind, she is wholly captivated by her studies, by Drayton’s lush, moss-draped campus, and by her brilliant classmates. But even more captivating is her charismatic adviser, Dante, who both intimidates and enthralls her.

As Lennon continues in her studies, her control grows, and she starts to uncover more about the secret world she has entered into, including the disquieting history of Drayton College. She is increasingly disturbed by what she learns, for it seems that the ultimate test is to embrace absolute power without succumbing to corruption...and it’s a test she’s terrified she’s going to fail.

Wild child Isidora Avramov is a thrill chaser, adept demon summoner, and—despite the whole sexy-evil-sorceress vibe—also a cuddly animal lover. When she’s not designing costumes and new storylines for the Arcane Emporium’s haunted house, Issa’s nursing a secret, conflicted dream of ditching her family’s witchy business to become an indie fashion designer in her own right.

But when someone starts sabotaging the celebrations leading up to this year’s Beltane festival with dark, dangerous magic, a membe

Happy Monday and - most importantly for me - happy third #oldskoolchallengeclub participation post 🤣🤣

This week I’m sharing a #spookyshades stack in #blackmagic - the wizard bunny is on loan from Miss 6 (I had to get written permission and everything).

We had a busy weekend and my planned “day off” to work on my library shelving didn’t eventuate, but I’m hoping to make some time to get in there this week 🤞🏻

QOTD - what’s something you’d like to do/make time for this week?

𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑆𝑝𝑜𝑜𝑘𝑦 𝑆𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑛! 🍂🍁🔮

Halloween—or 𝑆𝑎𝑚ℎ𝑎𝑖𝑛, for my Celtic/pagan friends—is almost upon us, but there’s still time to get those spooky, spellbinding, bewitching reads in.

I recommend these:

🍂 𝐺𝑟𝑖𝑚 𝑇𝑖𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 𝑏𝑦 𝐵.𝐾. 𝐵𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑛
✨ 𝑇𝑤𝑖𝑔’𝑠 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑇𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑏𝑦 𝐺𝑟𝑦𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑛 𝑀𝑢𝑟𝑝ℎ𝑦
🔮 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑦 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎 𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑦 𝐴𝑚𝑦 𝐶𝑜𝑜𝑚𝑏𝑒
🍁 𝐴 𝑇𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑀𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑐 𝑏𝑦 𝑇𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑎 𝑂’𝑀𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑦
✨ 𝐴 𝐵𝑖𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝐻𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑠 𝑃𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑠 𝑏𝑦 𝐾𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝐸𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑜𝑡𝑡
🔮 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐻𝑎𝑟𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑀𝑜𝑜𝑛 𝐶𝑎𝑓𝑒́ 𝑏𝑦 𝐹𝑎𝑟𝑎ℎ 𝐻𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑤𝑒𝑙𝑙
🍂 𝐵𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝐻𝑒𝑥 𝐸𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑏𝑦 𝑁𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑎 𝐸𝑙-𝐹𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑖
✨ 𝑃𝑎𝑦𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘’𝑠 𝐴 𝑊𝑖𝑡𝑐ℎ 𝑏𝑦 𝐿𝑎𝑛𝑎 𝐻𝑎𝑟𝑝𝑒𝑟
🔮 𝑆𝑜𝑢𝑙 𝑆𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑦 𝐿𝑦𝑙𝑎 𝑆𝑎𝑔𝑒
🍁 𝐻𝑒𝑟 𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑙𝑙 𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝐵𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑠 𝑀𝑒 𝑏𝑦 𝐿𝑢𝑛𝑎 𝑂𝑏𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑘𝑦
✨ 𝑅𝑒𝑤𝑖𝑡𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑦 𝐿𝑢𝑐𝑦 𝐽𝑎𝑛𝑒 𝑊𝑜𝑜𝑑
🔮 𝐻𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑦 & 𝐻𝑒𝑥𝑒𝑠 𝑏𝑦 𝑆𝑡𝑒𝑓𝑓𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑒 𝐻𝑜𝑙𝑚𝑒𝑠
🍂 𝐹𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐹𝑜𝑟 𝑀𝑟. 𝑂𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑏𝑦 𝐴𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑙𝑎 𝐶𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑎
✨ 𝐴 𝐺ℎ𝑜𝑠𝑡’𝑠 𝐺𝑢𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝐻𝑎𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐴 𝑊𝑖𝑡𝑐ℎ 𝑏𝑦 𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑜𝑛 𝐼𝑏𝑏𝑜𝑡𝑠𝑜𝑛
🔮 𝐴 𝐷𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑛 𝐹𝑜𝑟 𝐻𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛
🍁 𝑆𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑇𝑜𝑤𝑛, 𝐵𝑖𝑔 𝑀𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑐 𝑏𝑦 𝐻𝑎𝑧𝑒𝑙 𝐵𝑒𝑐𝑘
✨ 𝐵𝑒𝑤𝑖𝑡𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑏𝑦 𝐾𝑎𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑎 𝐶𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑠
🔮 𝐴 𝑊𝑖𝑡𝑐ℎ 𝑖𝑛 𝑁𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐻𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑦 𝐴𝑙𝑒𝑥𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑟𝑎 𝑃𝑎𝑖𝑔𝑒
✨ 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐵𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑊𝑖𝑡𝑐ℎ 𝑏𝑦 𝑀𝑒𝑔 𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟

I’ve got 𝐺𝑟𝑖𝑚 𝑇𝑖𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠, 𝑇𝑤𝑖𝑔’𝑠 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑇𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠 and 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑦 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎 𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑙𝑙 on my physical TBR, which I hope to consume before the start of the meteorological winter on December 1st.

Plenty of time, I think.

Whatever you’re reading this spooky season, I hope you enjoy it.

Much love,

Clear your mind, set an intention, and shuffle the deck… Which card are you drawn to?

Spooky Season is here, witches! To celebrate, we’re giving away three books that all feature a little magic. All you have to do is tell us which card you’re feeling drawn to, and we’ll reveal the book you’re meant to read.

🥃 Two of Cups? Grab CARDS ON THE TABLE by @lanalyte and @jillygagnon, about tarot-reading sisters who have to work together (and learn to trust each other) to get out of the secret-filled web they find themselves entangled in.

🖤 High Priestess? Time to read SMALL TOWN BIG MAGIC by @hazelbeckauthor, about a small town indie bookseller who unexpectedly discovers she has powers…and has been a witch all along.

🍷 Three of Cups? Snag WITH ALL MY HAUNTED HEART by @isa_sterling for a sapphic romance about a witch hired to ethically haunt a small-town B&B, only to fall for her non-magical client.

Want a copy of all three of these witchy books? Follow @lanalyte, @jillygagnon, @hazelbeckauthor, and @isa_sterling, then tell us in the comments which card you’re most drawn to for a chance to win!

The stars have spoken…and they’re recommending murder.

We consulted the cosmos and prescribed every zodiac sign its next killer read. Expect secrets, suspicious behavior, questionable decisions, and at least a few dead bodies. ✨

Find your sign, accept your cosmic prescription, and tell us: did the stars get it right? 👀
