I have recently been exploring Edelweiss a bit more and becoming more familiar with its interface. During all this, I have stumbled upon numerous books that I hadn’t previous heard about, including today’s entry for Want Now Wednesday.

Okay, first off, I’d like to thank the book gods for a stand alone! While I do love a good series, I get series burn out real quick and I’ve been needing a straight up stand alone in my life.

Second, let’s just look at all these trigger phrases for me: magical outlaws, deadly subterranean mission (not enough YAs go underground!), forbidden magic, notorious past, THEY WERE NEVER MEANT TO RETURN! Y’all, this book sounds AWESOME! Dark and fast paced and scary and OMG I NEEDS IT!

Eight Will Fall will be available on November 26, 2019. Pre-order links can be found at the publisher’s website.
