The Magic of Now Beta Reader Comments for By: Cailin Barrett-Bressack Rep: Alex Land, MWLA I sat down after work today intending to read another fifty pages and ended up reading the whole ding-dang book. Holy shit this is such a good twist was not ready for this what i love most about this book is how it challenges your perceptions about existentialism and what it means to be human. Who knew hearing a goat's perception could make you think so deeply? i would die for these nuns this feels like her azula moment ok yas girlboss except goat tension

AIMEE BENDER X ETERNAL SUNSHINE

Based on beta reader reviews, you'll come to
THE MAGIC OF NOW for cults & Goat Tension™️ but stay for the existentialism & sobbing!

#A #Spec about a 62-year-old farmer, the 🐐 her sister is reincarnated into & the new age cult that could be behind it
#UnhingedPit #AG

Lyric: In love with her best friend,thinks her friend and the dead boys showing up are connected, smart and loyal a concoction for trouble. Quote "Every day I choose to have her in my life like a toxic habit I can't quite quit." images of girl running in cowgirl boots and image of girl with lighter under tongue

Eleanor: may or may not be a part of a cult, has a taste for boys and an unhealthy obsession with her best friend, is a ride or die quite literally. Quote-"do I need to kick someone's add because you know I will do it. " images of girl with red on her hands, and another with a girl licking a lollipop.

Red flags for my Sapphic bubblegum horror
Lyric's red flags:
Obsessed with her best friend
In the midst of a coming of rage
Eleanor's red flags:
Will ditch you for boys
Possibly a cult member
Is the last person said boys were seen with before they disappeared

DAUGHTER OF MOON GODDESS x SONG TO DROWN RIVERS

Falling in love shouldn't be this difficult. When family and fate are trying to keep them apart, how far will Shizhi and Mingniu go to defend their love? To the stars above...or hell itself?

A purple background with a blazing pastel comet. Text reads: An Editor's Guide to Enchantments & Adversaries, A cozy romantasy complete at 95k combining the plus-sized lead and cozy setting of A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon with the banter and STEM-inist bent of Love on the Brain. Rep: Brent Taylor at Triada US.

A purple background with a blazing pastel comet. Text reads: the blurb: When Cecilia’s latest prototype—an amulet to protect non-magic persons—fails, her former college rival, Caspian Wolfe, offers resources from his magical engineering firm in exchange for co-credit. Despite her reservations he’s still the man who deals in hostile jabs and animosity, she relents, putting her research first. After weeks of blazing chemistry in the lab and between the sheets, Cecilia finds herself falling for a man she’s terrified to trust—if only her research into protection charms would ward her traitorous heart. Rep: Brent Taylor at Triada US.

A purple background with a blazing pastel comet. A dark haired woman and blond man are center. Text reads: the vibes: - plus-sized lead finding her power - complicated, messy family dynamics - strong, female friendship - cozy, modern fantasy setting - STEM based magic - "It was always you" - book covers for 'Do Your Worst' by Rosie Danan, 'Love on the Brain' by Ali Hazelwood, 'The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches' by Sangu Mandanna, 'A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon' by Sarah Hawley. Rep: Brent Taylor at Triada US.

A purple background with a blazing pastel comet. Text reads: chapter one - My magic rushes through the front door and finds nothing but static from the cottage’s inhabitant. It’s a glaring reminder I don’t belong here. I hesitate on the front porch, frowning at the doormat. Home, sweet home. I hadn’t considered my parents’ house my home in over a decade, after how they’d reacted when my long dormant magic stretched to life. I still remember the looks on their faces. My mother paled with unease; my father reddened with rage. For most, magic found its way to the surface before puberty. As early as seven or eight, but not past twelve. Tense breaths and watchful eyes filled my first twelve years, coupled with near constant reminders I wouldn’t have magic. As the daughter of two magicless, it was statistically improbable I’d break the mold... Rep: Brent Taylor at Triada US.

Adding benefits with her hot, magical engineer rival seems risk averse, but when Cecilia realizes he’s no longer the man he once was, it’s too late to use their research into protective magic to ward her heart...
