If there’s one thing I can truly appreciate, it’s a kick-ass female lead in a fantasy series. Katniss Everdeen. Z\u00e9lie Adebola. Feyre Archeron. Just to name a few. And now I’ve got a new one to add to the list: Winnie Wednesday from The Luminaries<\/a><\/em>! We were thrilled to help Tor Books promote this heart-pounding fantasy from bestselling author Susan Dennard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

An Instant NY Times<\/em> bestseller, Indie Next Pick, and much more, The Luminaries<\/em> \u201cwill draw you in and leave you begging for more.” (Leigh Bardugo<\/em>). “Winnie Wednesday wants nothing more than to join the Luminaries, the ancient order that protects Winnie’s town\u2014and the rest of humanity\u2014from the monsters and nightmares that rise in the forest of Hemlock Falls every night.” But what lies within the forest is more terrifying than Winnie can ever imagine. With a tagline like #huntorbehunted, you know you’re in for an adventure full of twists, turns, and of course – romance too! (Did I mention resident bad boy Jay Friday?). You’ll easily devour it in one or two sittings.<\/p>\n\n\n
