Nori Savens can’t wait for the Wishing Well to open so she can summon her familiar. But when the shadow cat instantly dislikes her and the Wishing Well stays open, Nori and Sebastian—along with the rest of the island—will have to set aside their differences and work together, or a horde of ravenous familiars will break through and destroy their quiet seaside town.  For Fans of...

The Keeper of Magical Things by Julie Leong
The Spellshop by Sara Beth Durst

with temperamental antiques, quirky friendships, found family, seaside town, and quiet romance.An Excerpt:

"A strange growl vibrated through the Wishing Well, deep enough to echo against stone. 

Something was wrong. 

She stared, her chest tight with dread. The shadows sped faster, small sparks of flame shooting into the air. She scrambled back as the Wishing Well opened—and a lithe something jumped out."

10 months ago Tracy disappeared. Today, Faye & Poppy have Tracy’s old dorm room. And the room is haunted. Plagued with dreams of hairless cats & pink guns; they set out to solve the murder deemed disappearance, so they can put the ghost to rest and get some goddamn sleep. #QuestPit #W #NA #MY #PR
A moodboard designed to look like a corkboard. At the top is text that reads Ominous But Stable Limbo. On the left hand side is a sticky note pinned to the board that reads:
Upper YA Mystery

Ten months ago Tracy Martin disappeared, deemed a
runaway from Bayside U. Nine and a half months ago the
caracaras, vultures-like birds, moved onto the campus,
attracted by the body nobody found. Today, Faye and
Poppy have Tracy’s old dorm room.

And the room is haunted. Plagued with dreams of hairless
cats and pink guns; Tracy Martin’s ghost is dead set on
ensuring the girls don’t sleep, fail classes, and can’t do
homework in her presence. Pulling the members of their
failing band into the investigation puts everyone, even the
birds, in the crosshairs of a killer who’s gotten away with
murder and isn’t about to let that change. 
A toony hairless cat adorns its bottom left corner. 

In the middle of the board is a strip of two photos which displays a photo of a Chinese-american girl with long black hair up in space buns, rectangular glasses, and a cute starry background on top. On bottom is a photo of a Filipino girl with long dyed red hair with flowers in it, and a pastel forest background. Below these photos are purple dice, a D10 and a D20. On the right hand side is an ipad that once again displays the text "Ominous But Stable Limbo", but this time in cut out letters, like they were taken from a magazine. Behind the text is a pink gun, a honey drizzler, and a cara cara bird, all on a yellow background. Above this is a single photo of a white enby with a sandy brown mullet, a resting bitch face, and a lot of piercings. They are in front of a forest background.

A tracking board, like one used by officials who are hunting down fugitives, features a collage of pictures on top of a map of New England.  Headshots of a nonbinary pilot and a woman are on the top of the board, with another picture of them kissing on the bottom right.  The board also shows a golden, old-fashioned plane that they used to escape.  There is a picture of a microchip off to one side that shows the woman fighting a government agent, and a picture on the other side that is marked "top secret."  In the center of the board is a gif of the woman holding a gun and pointing it at the viewer.  She smirks and says “it’s good to see you, too.”  The following message is scrawled across a scrap of paper at the top of the board: “in a game of mind-control, love and choice are always a memory apart.”

Perhaps, for her, life without Lord George was truly an empty prospect. Charlotte knew the emptiness that came with losing the person you loved most.

#QuestPit #Q #A #F #HF #MY #LGBTQ Orphaned for a second time, Irvine Riddell's life changes drastically when mysterious last minute edits to his adoptive father's will make the inheritance contingent on attending Cambridge University. DRACULA meets A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES with a dash of OSCAR WILDE
A mocked up cover of a book with the title "The Riddell Journals" and author "Dr Richard Hussey".

The cover shows a sepia photograph of King's College Cambridge, a gothic style building in the winter with bare trees.  A blood red moon lurks in the upper left corner, and a faint tracing of handwritten text is layered over the whole image.

Mood board for the adult romantic fantasy novel BORN OF LIGHT, CURSED BY DARKNESS. 
A collage of dark fantasy imagery including mist-covered gothic castles, a spiral library, storm clouds over ancient ruins, stone bridges, crashing ocean waves, a black sand beach at sunrise, the northern lights, a moon and sun symbol, and two figures beneath a star-filled sky. 
The title appears beneath the quote, ‘it’s all lies, darling,’ evoking a moody, gothic atmosphere of magic, mystery, and romance.
