When a cupid-in-training perfectionist accidentally swaps love heart candies on her valentines cupcakes with hate hearts, she burns her shot at becoming a cupid. Now, she must choose between covering up her mistakes or giving up on her 'perfectly perfect' ways. #DVpit #MG #F #MR

TO KILL A KINGDOM X DRY A siren who can't sing must hunt her first soul by her 18th birthday, or she'll die. When the thief she's meant to hunt steals her heart instead, she must choose whose soul is worth saving: his or hers. #PopUpPitE #LuckyPit #YA #F #kidlit #PopUpPit

Nine squares each with different images. A windy desert, a broken down boat, a trident in a setting sun, two people underwater swimming to the surface, a girl drowning, a girl in a vast desert, tide crashing into sand, a silhouette of a boy on a dune. Middle square quote: by song or by blade, this boy must die.

THE COUNSELORS X SILENT SISTER 18 y/o Paige plans to spend her summer attending writing workshops and paddle-boating on the sparkly lake at camp. But when her boyfriend turns up dead and his BFF is arrested, she smells something fishy—and it isn't coming from the lake. 📖 #BluePit #Q #YA #M

A camping mood board with an orange tent and the writing "let's go killing" beside an etching of mountain caps. Polaroid pictures line the bottom. From left: a pile of question mark cutouts that are in darkness, with one glowing question mark in the middle; a person whose face is obscured in darkness, wearing a yellow raincoat; a hand of a presumably dead body on the floor, sticking out from a sheet.
