Lilly Faine is tired of classmates dissing her family, and doesn’t care when she receives suspension for nearly punching the lights out of a classmate. Her father isn’t crazy, even if he does spout stories about a world full of magic, a cruel king who hunted him, and has a shattered amulet that tingles when Lilly touches it.
When an old enemy appears under Chicago’s beloved Bean, Lilly and her brother Gabriel are shoved into the impossible world their father believed in. Alone on opposite ends of a war, they race to rescue each other. Lilly finds aid and friendship in a band of rebels, but she is also hunted by the emperor’s personal assassin. Gabriel gains the help of the emperor, but Gabriel’s choices to do good may lead him into dark shadows he can’t find his way out of.
Magic thrums within their reach, promising aid, and Lilly and Gabriel both must decide if the magic they seek – and the causes for which they now fight – is worth the risk of their souls.

 Today is the day we've been waiting for! It's the cover reveal for The Holiday Visitor by Trista Shaye. This cover is gorgeous and goes perfectly with The Backward Kitty, book one of the series.

The scent of Christmas cookies and pine trees is in the air—and so is the scent of trickery.
The winter wind is ripping through the midwest and Big the Barn Cat is seeing to his winter jobs on the farm and hoping he’ll avoid catching a cold during the chilly season.
The week before Christmas, Big unexpectedly encounters a creature in need. Under the influence of the Christmas spirit—and possibly a touch of cat curiosity—he steps in to help. But it turns out that the critter he rescues is a fugitive and Big is dangerously close to becoming one himself.
Can Big unravel the secrets this odd creature hides, save it from the cruel weather in which it can’t survive, and escape from the clutches of a murderous mob all by Christmas Day?
Big is counting on a certain jolly elf’s help. But how does a cat talk to Santa anyway?

Olivia Cornwell is a storyteller with a love of dragons and magical worlds. She writes stories of hope and redemption and familial relationships, and far too many sarcastic characters. She writes to entertain her readers (and may or may not collect their tears along the way) and share the truth of her Creator. At least when she isn’t struggling to control her characters, drinking a lot of coffee, or hoarding chocolate.
She hides out in Ohio, and in her spare time Olivia cuddles her niece and nephews, and yowls back at her cat (who is most likely her familiar). She also enjoys adopting the characters from her friends’ novels and keeping them safe from their own dangers.

Hello, we have a new cover reveal for The Holiday Visitor by Trista Shaye. This is the second book of the middle-grade series, Big the Barn Cat. The reveal is set for October 24 after 12 PM EST.

For this tour, bookish Instagram accounts can be used in place of a blog.

Tour Dates: November 1-7

A kidnapped princess, a promise, and a kingdom cursed with mysterious plagues.
"Mark my words, Evangeline; if you set foot outside this tower, you will surely die."
Evangeline has spent her entire life hidden in an ancient watchtower, gazing out a window as the world passes her by.  She heeds her mother's warning closely, the truth hidden from her always.
When a young guard stumbles upon the tower, Evangeline's life is changed forever.  As she strikes up a secret friendship with the guard, she learns about the Kingdom of Lanaria and the mysterious plagues that haunt all who live there.  But as she delves into the world she barely knows, not everything her mother says adds up.  Will they find the truth before it's too late?

Today marks the start of The Zodiac Trials Bookstagram & Review tour! We are so excited to see what the hosts think of The Zodiac Trials and see all the gorgeous photos.

For as long as anyone could remember, there have only been twelve Zodiac Signs. Gifted by the stars with two abilities each, the twelve signs had maintained balance in their world for centuries. Now, a thirteenth sign threatens to upend the balance…
Talah grew up hearing about her ancestral homeland called the Galaxy. Hidden away on Earth from the world her parents had escaped from, she dreamed of becoming a true Zodiac. When her chance finally arrives to compete in the Trials and join her people for good, she is all too eager to prove her place. But beneath the lavish parties and power lies a dark secret their history had forgotten. And with it, a boy she thought she’d never see again.
Firas had spent his whole life training for the Trials to take his true place as the Soulinus heir. But when he is hunted down for the extra abilities he was born with, he has to learn to survive. Now the leader of a people facing genocide, he has to outwit a centuries-old society with powers that rival his own.
Thrust into a forgotten civil war neither truly understand, Talah and Firas must find the balance between tradition and freedom.
