Astrid and Dani joined forces to advocate for this book, check out what they had to say:
I am a fan of both McLemore’s lyrical prose and Mejia’s character development and am eager to see how their styles work together and what they have created. The novel revolving around themes of loving yourself, sharing who you are with the world, friendship, self-discovery, and letting the past go are the reasons why I am drawn to this novel.

Hi Friends!
We are so excited and honored to announce that we will be hosting a tour for Legendborn by Tracy Deonn!! Yes, you read that right. This one is Leelynn’s book, read here why she wanted to host the tour down below:
Seeing beautiful Black young women in fantasy novels is a privilege that I didn’t get to experience growing up. All I wanted was to see myself as a protagonist in the many fantasy novels that I read, and now I’m able to have that chance with Legendborn. From how big and curly Bree’s natural hair is to her determination to find out what happened the night her mother died and fight for what she truly believes in. Bree showcases the strength in young Black women that I admired growing up, that I strive to be one day, and that I know other young Black women like me want to continue to be.

We are so excited and honored to reveal the cover for Mahtab Rohan’s Your Heart After Dark! We will also be hosting a tour for this book, so be sure to sign up down below 🙂
Isn’t this cover gorgeous?! Thank you Mahtab for letting us showcase the cover for Your Heart After Dark.
After a year of living in a prissy suburb, Maria Chaudhry is back downtown. Back to what she never wanted to leave. But she can’t really enjoy it since neither the living nor the dead will leave her in peace.
JC’s death still keeps her up at night and Ehmet’s sudden ambivalence isn’t helping. Maybe she had read his signals wrong and Ehmet was never in love with her like she thought. Or maybe his love is tangled with secrets too dark to speak aloud, secrets about JC’s death and the unpredictable beast in Ehmet’s blood.
When an upcoming hiking trip is canceled, there’s no pretty path left towards the truth. A growing spiral of deceit threatens to tear Maria and Ehmet apart forever, but the beast lurking within Ehmet can do a lot worse than that.
Mahtab Rohan’s debut YA novel delivers a paranormal tale of crumbling friendships, malevolent secrets, and the struggle to have hope in the face of uncertainty.
We can’t wait for everyone to sign up for this tour. We are looking for Desi, Uyghur, South Asian, and/or Muslim #OwnVoices reviewers. If that’s you, fill out the form here.
