Adult Romantic Fantasy with Horror elements comps: heartless hunter, to cage a god, the starving saints, the knight and the moth, versailles When Merit's lover chooses her best friend as his next sacrifice, ​Merit vows to murder him.

She never noticed the freckles speckling his hooked nose before. The flush is gone from his face, turning him less boyish, more lethal. “If I glue myself to the executioner’s shadow, who’ll have the guts to approach me?” “I thought the point was that you didn’t wish to dance.” “I don’t wish to dance with anyone who’d want to court me.” Merit taps his shoulder. “I believe I’m safe from that with you.” “Hm.” He turns her under the arch of his arm, hands twining again as she returns to his chest. “Either way, thank you.” “Likewise.” She smiles brightly, this time in earnest. Out of the corner of her eye, she notices Kalla close to the refreshments’ table, entangled with Talia and another woman. Good for her. Kalla’s gaze catches hers, an eyebrow quirked as if to say you witty bastard. Merit answers with a grin. Watch me, sister. I’ll go to the brim of the world to save you.

February reading wrap-up!

A moodboard of 8 photos. From left to right and down- A black girl, with her hair being blown in the wind. Then a photo of a jungle valley; with fog and lush greenery. A tiger mid road, three black women in pastel dresses playing in sea waves, a black woman covered by clear water, the body of a tiger, a sandy path leading to the sea, with palm trees on either side, a black woman in a ceremony, holding white flowers, whilst other hands braid her hair.

THE JASAD HEIR x THE SCARLET THRONE the only way💧 elemental Amancia can stay heir of her clan is to win a sacred tournament. Easier said than done with a god trapped in her mind, an empire set on claiming her home & a 🔥 elemental who keeps trying to kill & kiss her #YA #F #UW #P2Ppit #sapphic #Q

the ending of dark rise made me sick and ill (pos) how did u all survive 2 years

4 more days to apply to the excellent mentors at RTM...as a former mentee of a writing mentorship, i can't emphasize enough the support that a mentorship offers. you have peers, a mentor, querying resources and a community through the thick of it all. this is a great opportunity for all writers!!

when we visited her at the foster’s home 😭🥹 she’s such a beautiful baby

related, I just learned I’ve been approved to adopt a cat and started crying at work

💫 #MeetMyMCs is BACK, friends! please load up your posts for 𝟭𝟮 𝗝𝗔𝗡𝗨𝗔𝗥𝗬 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, when we'll be discussing and celebrating all things main characters.
