Hey there!<\/p>\n
We have an all-fiction edition! Hooray! They\u2019re also all fantasy novels. Most of them are on the cozier side, which I thought might be needed in the leadup to the US midterms. Don\u2019t forget to vote and then maybe treat yourself to a book for doing your civic duty.<\/p>\n

Dahlia\u2019s devastating dimples, addiction to Talula\u2019s cocoa recipe, and keen observation skills keeps the smitten barista scrambling to ensure that her magical abilities (or, lack thereof) stay a secret.<\/p>\n But when big game hunters start preying on magical beings, her powerful sorceress mother is called away to track them down, leaving Talula and her barely-there magic in charge of The Blue Moon.

But as the hunters set their sights closer to home, it\u2019ll be up to Talula to master her craft, trust her heart, and bring her magical and human communities together . . . before she loses everything she loves.<\/p>\n Add to Goodreads To-Read List \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \t\t <\/strong><\/p>\n C mentioned this one in an October Whatcha Reading<\/a> and they got their rec for another series of comments in an earlier Whatcha Reading.
